On Friday, a U.S. District Court denied Visa’s motion to dismiss the claim that it’s responsible for harm caused by non-consensual porn of a minor posted to Pornhub because it processed payments for Pornhub at the time the video was uploaded. The decision keeps Visa in the case after its motion to dismiss, and claims that the court could infer that “Visa intended to help MindGeek monetize child porn.” 

In the ongoing lawsuit, Serena Fleites alleges that Pornhub’s parent company Mindgeek and Visa are responsible for damages endured when Fleites’ then-boyfriend uploaded sexual images of her to Pornhub when she was 13 years old. Visa has been trying to get removed as a defendant in the case.
