Victims of a sex-trafficking operation hit embattled adult entertainment site Pornhub and its parent company Mindgeek with a multi-million dollar lawsuit for hosting non-consenting content and refusing to remove it even after repeated requests.

Forty victims of sex trafficking operation GirlsDoPorn filed a lawsuit Tuesday against Mindgeek, demanding more than $40 million in damages. Each victim is asking for at least $1 million, as well as the money generated by Mindgeek from hosting and promoting their videos, as well as legal fees, Vice reported.
