‘How do you sleep at night?’ Canadian Pornhub execs grilled by MPs over child exploitation

“I have never seen a situation where there was so much disregard and indifference to what was obviously child pornography, rape, trafficking content, illegal content on this site,” said Fleites’s lawyer Michael Bowe during his testimony. Bowe works with the Manhattan-based firm Brown Rudnick. “I have no question under American law there are criminal violations here.”

After a year of controversy encircled Pornhub and its Canadian parent company MindGeek, allegations of child pornography and other non-consensual material published and monetized on their websites forced company executives to explain themselves.

MPs were “disgusted” and “gobsmacked” by what they heard, with one politician commenting on the company CEO’s “staggering level of recklessness”.
