MindGeek, formerly known as ManWin, the parent company of Pornhub, is being sued by a mom after a user raped her 14-year-old son and posted videos of assaults on the site.
The “traumatized” mother’s attorney, Parker Miller, from Alabama-based law firm Beasley Allen Law, represents “CV1” and his mother.
Miller claims that the video footage distributed by the site was “clearly” of “CV1” an underaged child.
Franklin was charged and convicted of “two counts of sexual exploitation of a child, one count of advertising child pornography, and two counts of the distribution of child pornography.” And sentenced to 40 years in prison.
Damages from Mindgeek are being sought for “a permanent injury” to the victim, a minor.
Rocky Franklin, 36, was convicted of drugging and raping the child known only as “CV1.” He then filmed the ordeals. And uploaded the footage to Pornhub for profit.
Franklin was a trusted friend of the plaintiff’s family but was not related to them.
