P*rnhub verified a 15 yr old who was missing for a year into their “ModelHub” program. She was found being raped in 58 videos. PH took 35% of the profit from her rape video sales. Twitter recently suspended P*rnhub’s ModelHub account. This art piece was inspired by her story.

A 12 yr old boy in Alabama was drugged & raped in 23 monetized videos uploaded to P*rnhub for profit. Today he is courageously suing P*rnhub using RICO & sex trafficking statutes that produce treble damages (3x the award). His jury trial could easily put P*rnhub out of business.

Pornhub verified a 15 yr old who was missing for a year. She was found in 58 videos on the site. The child was part of the ModelHub program where Pornhub takes a 35% cut of sales. Pornhub directly profited from that abuse. This piece was inspired by her story. #Traffickinghub

Gisele Pelicot’s final statement about her filmed, drugged, unconscious rape by 51 men: "It's time that the macho, patriarchal society that trivialises rape changes…It's time we changed the way we look at rape.” “I’ve lost 10 years of my life…This scar will never heal.”
