Aylo Asks Judge to Trim Sweeping GDP-Related Lawsuit

SAN DIEGO — Aylo asked a California federal judge during a hearing on Monday to drop trafficking claims from a sweeping lawsuit brought by a former GirlsDoPorn model.

Kristy Althaus’ lawsuit, filed in 2023, alleges that she was “sex trafficked” by GirlsDoPorn, and that “she was raped on camera and had her reputation destroyed by Pornhub when it illegally hosted the video and promoted it through social media channels,” Law 360 reported.

Aylo’s lawyers argued that Althaus’ lawsuit is “full of excessive claims and that the court lacks jurisdiction over some defendants.”

Marc E. Mayer of law firm Mitchell Silberberg & Knupp told U.S. District Judge Michael W. Fitzgerald that the defendants’ concern is that the complaint “explodes it into all sorts of places where it really doesn’t need to be.”

Aylo’s parent company, Ethical Capital Partners (ECP), “filed its own separate motion to dismiss, arguing that the court lacked personal jurisdiction, or alternately, that the suit failed to state a claim,” Law 360 reported. The other eight Aylo defendants “filed a motion to dismiss making various arguments, including that some of the claims fall outside the statute of limitations,” since it was first published in 2014.

Judge Fitzgerald “issued a tentative ruling ahead of the hearing, which was not made publicly available,” Law 360 reported.
