LOS ANGELES: Nearly three dozen women have filed a lawsuit in California against adult video website Pornhub, accusing it and its parent company of knowingly profiting from footage depicting rape and sexual exploitation, including of minors.

Lawyers representing the 34 plaintiffs accuse the online giant – one of the world’s largest adult video websites – of creating a teeming marketplace for child pornography and “every other form” of nonconsensual sexual content, and want the company to pay damages.
