Models File Civil Lawsuit Against Pornhub Over GirlsDoPorn Content

SAN DIEGO — Forty former GirlsDoPorn.com (GDP) models have filed a civil lawsuit against Pornhub over GDP content that had been uploaded to the platform.

The San Diego lawyers for the models, Brian Holm and John O'Brien — who also had represented several models in the civil trial against GirlsDoPorn that was unravelling when the federal criminal charges were announced — revealed the new lawsuit exclusively to Vice’s Samantha Cole, timing the press announcement to the evening of the Pornhub Awards.

The lawsuit, according to Vice, “is seeking more than $40 million in damages — at least $1 million per plaintiff —as well as the money Mindgeek earned from hosting and promoting their videos and legal fees.”

"As a proximate result of MindGeek’s knowing financial benefit and participation in GDP's sex trafficking venture,” the models’ lawyers wrote, “plaintiffs have suffered damages, including, but not limited to, severe emotional distress, significant trauma, attempted suicide, and social and familial ostracization.”
