Pornhub Owner Reaches Settlement With U.S. Prosecutors Over Sex Trafficking Allegations


The parent company of “Pornhub” has reached a deal with U.S. Prosecutors over sex trafficking allegations.

In a recent development, Pornhub and its parent company MindGeek have been under a criminal investigation by the U.S. federal government (EDNY). The investigation, which lasted 30 months, found sufficient evidence to bring criminal charges against the company for its relationship with a notorious sex trafficking operation, GirlsDoPorn.

The charges against Pornhub include money laundering under 18 U.S.C. Sec 1957 for “knowing and intentional” monetary transactions derived from the sex trafficking operation. This case has brought up concerns about the platform’s role in hosting videos from GirlsDoPorn and its lack of action in removing the content despite knowing about the sex trafficking allegations.

The lawsuit has been expanded to include 50 women, including Canadians, who claim that MindGeek, the parent company of Pornhub, knew or should have known that one of its commercial partners regularly used fraud and coercion to get women to appear in videos.

In a separate case, Pornhub settled a lawsuit brought by 50 women, including Canadians, who alleged it profited from pornographic videos published without their full consent. The terms of the settlement are confidential.

In a recent statement, Pornhub deeply regrets hosting Girls Do Porn content and said it “deeply regrets” its association with the company.

It is important to note that the Canadian law enforcement has not responded to the allegations, and there are ongoing discussions about possible criminal charges against the company.

Reuters reports the following:

The company that owns and operates adult entertainment websites including Pornhub.com has reached a deferred prosecution agreement with the U.S. Justice Department over its ties to an alleged sex trafficking operation, court records showed.

Lawyers for Montreal-based Aylo Holdings, formerly known as MindGeek, are set to appear in Brooklyn federal court later on Thursday for a hearing on the proposed agreement, according to the records.

Federal prosecutors say Aylo’s websites hosted content from pornography websites GirlsDoPorn.com (GDP) and GirlsDoToys.com (GDT), whose creators and operators were charged in California in 2019 with deceiving and coercing young women to appear in sex videos. Several were convicted.

Aylo – whose brands also include YouPorn and Brazzers – knew that its proceeds from those websites stemmed from illegal activity, prosecutors said.

The investigation has been ongoing for some time:

In a related story, we ran this report a few weeks ago:

Why Does A Rabbi Own PornHub?

I want to make something very clear right off the bat in this article.

This is not a statement for or against any religion.

I support the Jewish people.  Always have, always will.

The Israelites were chosen by God (YHWH) to be his people and his Nation, but like anything the Devil tries to corrupt it.

So I do not write to disparage any group of people.

What did catch my eye is why would an Orthodox Rabbi want to be an owner of the largest porno site on Earth?

Doesn’t that seem really wrong?

Let me get one other thing out of the way first, and that is a fact-check on what I’m about to show you.

Here’s the backup:

Ok, now we proceed with a massive Twitter thread from @adliehassan diving deep into this topic.

DISCLAIMER: I have not been able to independently verify every claim he is making.

I’m simply showing you HIS Tweet-thread.

While I did verify the facts above, which were significant enough to confirm the major parts of this story, I have not fact-checked every single claim.

Here’s the first Tweet:

And now here is the entire unrolled Tweet thread — warning, this goes DEEP:

I AM ALSO ASKING THE SAME QUESTION 🤔

Why does a rabbi own PornHub?

So I did some digging. Oh the things that I have found. 🤯

I promise you, you will want to know why.

Get your barf bags ready, coz it’s going to be a bumpy ride.

This is a thread. Brace yourselves. Image

Solomon Friedman is the new owner of PornHub.

He is a Jewish attorney and rabbi.

His private equity firm took over Mindgeek, the umbrella company of virtually every porn site.

He vowed to save PornHub from ruin and make it a better place.

PornHub is used to post videos where minors are raped by adult men.

There’s an endless stream of 14-year-old girls being posted against their will.

Besides the obvious evils of pedophilia being posted, the site can only do evil.

Whether both parties engage in consensual intercourse or not.

Image
Image

What Friedman doesn’t want you to know is that the people starring in the videos don’t require to be verified.

Verification is just a license to continue posting rape and child porn.

Image
Image
Image
Image

Before we continue about Solomon Friedman, it is important to know this,

Aylo (formerly MindGeek) is primarily involved in internet pornography.

They have a very long list of porn sites which belong to them.

Safe to say they monopolise the porn industry.
Image
Image

“Their algorithm to keep users hooked is unparalleled”

Believe it or not, it is being used (has been used) as a weapon.

“The psychological damage is incalculable”
Image
Image

How did they weaponise porn to corrupt the mind & heart?

Take over Palestinian television stations ✅

Broadcast pornographic movies and programs in Hebrew.✅

Most of the viewers are children!🤯

Image

You cannot make this shit up! 🤯 Image

But wait, it gets better.

Introducing the notorious, Reuben Sturman aka “Walt Disney of Porn”

Sturman, the son of immigrant Russian Jews, grew up on Cleveland’s East Side.

He served in the Army Air Forces during World War II and then went on to study at Case Western Reserve University, graduating in 1948, before starting his own business selling comic books from his car.

Image
Image

1960s – Sturman started selling magazines with sexual content, a product he discovered could make profits that outmatched anything that could be achieved by selling any kind of comic book.

Sturman managed to avoid prosecution by:

– Counter-suits ✅
– Shady business practises ✅
– Using 20 different aliases to protect his identity ✅

Made friends with the Italian-American Mafia (Gambino Family)✅

Image
Image

Are you still with me? Good. Because it gets more disturbing.

Meet Michael Kulich, founder and chairman of :

– Monarchy Distribution ✅
– OGEE Studios ✅
– Assence Films ✅

(All three companies are focused on adult entertainment)

Born to parents of Russian-Jewish decent.

Michael Kulich admitted that Reuben Sturman was his Godfather of Porn.

Image
Image
Image

Kulich stated:

“Jews in the adult industry, there’s a lot of them….

The adult industry was pretty much founded by the Jews. 👀

Basically, in the early nineteen hundreds, the German Jewish immigrants came in, and when they were trying to get into different industries, there was a lot of antisemitism where they couldn’t get into normalized work….

so they gravitated toward the porn industry because it’s kind of the seedier cousin of the Hollywood industry which had already been controlled by the Jews. 👀

Basically, they pretty much took it over.

“Back in the ‘70s, the majority of the male porn performers were jewish, and the majority of the female performers were Roman Catholic.”

“Fulfill every fantasy of every Jewish boy ever had” 👀

“The business owners are pretty much Jewish or have Jewish ties, or at some point worked for a Jew in the business to get their start.” 👀

Image
Image

Still with me? Awesome!

Have you met Al Goldstein?

Known for helping normalize hardcore pornography in USA 👀

Goldstein was born in Williamsburg, Brooklyn to a Jewish family. 👀 Image

Al Goldstein started numerous porn magazines :

– Screw Magazine
– Bitch Magazine
– Smut Magazine
– Screw West Magazine
– Rabbit Ranch Magazine and more.

Image
Image
Image

1989 – Offered $1 mil to assassinate Ayatollah Khomeini for going against him and his sick empire. (We know how Israel hates Iran’s guts)

“The only reason that Jews are in porn is that we think that Christ sucks, Catholicism sucks. We don’t believe in authoritarianism.” 👀

“Pornography thus becomes a way of defiling Christian culture, penetrating the hearts of American mainstream” 👀

When asked if he believed in God,

“I believe in me. I’m God. Screw God. I am the super being. I am your god, admit it”

Al Goldstein – “The sleaze and decay of Time Square in the 1960s & ‘70s”

Why does porn attract so many non-Jewish Jews?

· Used to hatred from society, Jews will do its dirty work – such as money lending in the Middle Ages or porn today – to make money. 👀

Persecuted for millennia in the various societies they’ve lived in, many Jews developed an allegiance to their own survival as their highest value and care little about the survival of the persecuting society.

Even when Jews live in a society that welcomes them instead of harassing them, many Jews hate the majority culture.

· Because Jews frequently despise the majority culture, and despite being traditional in most of their values and rituals, Jews seem open to new ways of doing business. Not rooted in the status quo that frequently hates them, Jews often lead the way in the application of new technology – such as printing presses, radio, TV, cable television, VCRs and computers. And the most popular application of new technology for millennia has been porn.

· Because of Judaism’s emphasis on education and verbal dexterity, Jews dominate academia, entertainment and media generally.

In a 2000 book “Bookleggers and Smuthounds: The Trade In Erotica 1920-1940,” English professor Jay Gertzman writes about the disproportionate influence of Jews in the sex book trade: “This irrepressible insistence, seen as characteristic of Jewish merchants in particular, and of ethnic middlemen minorities in general, helped confer pariah status on the erotic book dealers. Here, the one-hundred-percent moralist warned, was a tightly knit group of workers single-mindedly driven to material success, an apparently autonomous minority that had chosen to pursue its own “godless, unAmerican” goals with a strange and foreign intensity.

Image

Image

Virtually all movements to change the world come from the Jews – Christianity, secular humanism, Marxism, Socialism and Communism, feminism, and the labor movement. That’s part of the reason that Jews are hated. The world doesn’t want to be changed.

“Through history, every established order has at one time or another excluded and/or exterminated the Jews,” writes Dan Shocket.

“This has given Jews a jaded view of the established order. All X-rated actors interviewed bragged about their joy in being anarchic, sexual gadflies to the puritanical beast.”

Image
Image

So, is everyone still with me?

Before I continue with this thread,

Ask yourself this very important question :

Why did they name it “MIND”GEEK?

And no one even gave a second to think about it.

It went unnoticed.

Just like everything else.

MindGeek Previous Owners:

– Bernd Bergmair
– David Marmorstein Tassillo
– Feras Antoon & Mark Antoon

Who is Bernd Bergmair?
– Nationality : Austro-British
– Ethnicity : Mixed
– Religion : Christian

Who is David Tassillo?
– Although reportedly of Jewish descent, David is a true Montreal, Quebec.

Who is Feras Antoon? 👇🏻

Image
Image
Image
Image

– David & Feras were sued for allegations of child rape videos ✅

– Reports revealed that this has been going on for years ✅

– Both resigned from the positions as CEO soon after. ✅

“We’re trying to create a safe environment for people…” 👀

A safe space to be sexually deviant.

That’s refreshing.

Image
Image
Image
Image

– After Solomon Friedman took over MindGeek, he decided that they needed a fresh start. To break away from their sordid not too distant past.

– He changed the name to Aylo, which he claimed no one will find the meaning in the dictionary (What an odd thing to say)

“Aylo specifically wants us to know that its new name has no meaning at all” (Another peculiar thing to mention)

He vowed to save PornHub from ruin and make it a better place.

In reality, nothing will change under Friedman’s new management.

It seems like he’s doing damage control.

Pretending to be more humane for the public so Aylo can continue damaging the cultural fabric of society without much scrutiny.

Image
Image
Image

So naturally I got curious,

Tried to google the name Aylo and found :

Aylo – another word for Stupid
Aylo – “Master”, Educated, Cheerful

Then I tried spelling it backwards:

Olya – literally means Holy. 👀

Olya got it origins in Russia.

Image
Image
Image

Pornhub owners said governments should stop the crackdown on adult websites to help make porn normal and ‘boring’ – just as ‘cannabis in Canada has become boring’.  👀

They have had numerous legal battles in the past (Mindgeek).

Even after Aylo, the issues keep coming. I wonder why.👀

They were ordered to verify every person’s age who appear on their platforms,

But they weren’t happy about it.

Sues the government instead.

Image
Image
Image

Solomon Friedman :

“We found a company that had created the best-in-class online trust and safety automation tools…”

“We believe these TOOLS must be shared with the larger internet”

So if these so called TOOLS can verify the identity and age of any person on your platform,

Why the need to pull your website from the states which require you to do exactly the thing you mentioned? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Unless there was never a TOOL to begin with. 👀
Image

And these happen in 2023,

– PornHub hit with 10th sex trafficking lawsuit

– 62 women sue PornHub in latest San Diego case.

– As recently as May-June 2023. Solomon took over MindGeek in March 2023.

You do the math.

Image

Image
Image

I will leave you to ponder about Solomon Friedman and Aylo for now.

I would like to introduce you to this lovely elderly couple, Karen & Barry Mason.

For nearly four decades, Karen and Barry Mason owned Circus of Books, a book and video store that was considered Los Angeles’ “Center of the gay universe,”

Later on they became one of the LARGEST distributors of gay pornography in America.

I bet their grandchildren are thrilled to know that their grandparents are thriving. 🤑
Image

A different type of “Karen”,

– Karen was raised in a Conservative Jewish Home, and raised her children that way, too. 👀

– Karen wished that gay porn would be able to open people’s minds. 👀

“I really wanted to show that you can be disgustingly deviant and still be a person of faith” 👀

I’m sorry, what?

Image
Image

I’m sure everyone has heard of Tinder. Maybe even used it before.

Two of the app’s three creators are :

– Sean Rad ✅
– Justin Mateen ✅

Two Jewish 27-year-olds from Los Angeles who set up shop in West Hollywood with their other co-founder, Jonathan Badeen.

Making money off of “hooking up” culture I see. 👀

So which one of you chose the colour orange?

Meet Joel Simkhai.

Founder of another popular gay “dating” app called Grindr.

Born in Tel Aviv, Israel. 👀

Joel Simkhai is an Israeli businessman and entrepreneur who has a net worth of $100 million.

He earned his fortune as the founder of the apps Grindr and Blendr. He sold the majority of Grindr to a Chinese gaming company for $250 million in 2018.

Meet Leonid Radvinsky, majority owner of OnlyFans.

OnlyFans is an internet content subscription service based in London, United Kingdom.

The service is used primarily by sex workers who produce pornography.

It also hosts the work of other content creators, such as physical fitness experts and musicians.

During the late 1990s and early 2000s, Radvinsky developed more than ten websites such as Password Universe, Working Passes and Ultra Passwords that claimed and were advertised to provide users with “illegal” and “hacked” passwords to porn sites, where he earned money for every click.

Ultra Passwords reportedly earned $1.8 million a year in revenue during the 2000s.

The company has been criticized for insufficiently preventing child sexual abuse material from circulating on the platform, though statistical evidence on the severity of the problem is mixed.

Net Worth : 1 Billion Dollars

Class is in session with Prof Nathan Abrams.

“Anal sex is Jewish sex”

During a talk he delivered at the University of Nottingham in England on Monday. Dozens of Jewish men and women attended the lecture.

No one got angry. 👀

I did another mega thread on the huge amount of pedophiles in Israel.

It reached almost 1 million views before X shadow banned it.🤷🏻‍♂️

Therefore they have disabled the reposting function on the thread.

You can read it here.

Thread by @adliehassan on Thread Reader App

X SHADOW BANNED MY FIRST POST.

So, I have reposted the whole damn thread again.

They can keep shadow-banning me, and I will keep reposting this.

There is a reason why they don’t want you to see this!

Share this before X deletes it again!
