Pornhub’s parent company has agreed to make payments of $1.8m (£1.42m) to the US government to resolve allegations of profiting from sex trafficking. The charges stem from its hosting of content and accepting of payments from a third party, Girls Do Porn (GDP). There were more than 400 victims in total, and in 2021 GDP producer Ruben Andre Garcia was sentenced to 20 years in federal prison for coercing women into appearing in sex videos. Later that year, the women won the rights to the videos they appeared in and Garcia had to pay $18m to them in restitution. Is Pornography an illegal business ?
