Pornhub Parent Company and MindGeek Settle Sex Trafficking Claims with Monitors and Settlements

Aylo Holdings, the parent company of Pornhub.com, has entered into a deferred prosecution agreement with the United States Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of New York after admitting to receiving money derived from sex trafficking operations. As part of the agreement, Aylo will pay $1.8 million to the United States and provide monetary compensation to victims whose images were posted on its platforms without their consent. Aylo will also be subject to a three-year monitor to ensure compliance with industry-wide standards for safety and compliance. The company had hosted pornographic videos created by the founders of GirlsDoPorn, who were convicted of sex trafficking offenses.
