She was 13, a straight-A student, when she sent her boyfriend one video. At her new school, a stranger sent her a link. It was on Pornhub, titled "13 year old brunette shows off for the camera." Too scared to tell her mom, she messaged Pornhub pretending to be her mother. Then it came back up. One copy hit 2.7 million views.
In the video below, she tells it herself to the Canadian parliament. Wait for the 2.7 million views, and what the comments under that video said.
Her mom was a strict Catholic, a single mother of six. Serena Fleites didn't want to bring this home. So she typed into Pornhub's own report form:
"Hey, this is my daughter, she's only 14 now, this is child pornography, please take this down."
They took a week or two to answer. Then another two weeks to actually remove it.
She had been told Pornhub had a system. Once a video was flagged as child porn, it could never be uploaded again.
"But of course that wasn't true, because a week after it's been taken down, it had been re-uploaded again."
By then the video had gone around her school and the schools nearby. Strangers sent it to her. People threatened to send it to her family. She started ditching class, took drugs, dropped out and ended up homeless.
"I ended up trying to kill myself many times. I ended up in mental hospitals."
The copies kept collecting views. She had a hormone disorder: at 13 and 14 she looked 9 or 10. One upload sat at 2.7 million views under "hundreds of comments saying 'this is definitely child pornography, that girl can't be any more than 14, 13.'"
Pornhub still wouldn't take it down. When they finally answered, she says, they hassled her for more details. A child had to prove she was the child in her own video.
"I would have to go through the whole process of sending them pictures of me with my face next to my ID over and over and over again."
Even then, every takedown dragged on, "which would gain hundreds of thousands more views."
She told her family two days before the New York Times article came out.
A 13-year-old flagged it. Hundreds of strangers flagged it. Pornhub asked for her ID.
So was Pornhub just a slow website drowning in reports, or did it make money off every single week it made a child wait?
She was 22, a yoga model paying her own way through college, when she answered an ad for "female fitness models." They offered her $10,000. She said fitness apparel only. It was GirlsDoPorn. From 9 p.m. till 4 in the morning, she says, they raped her on camera. Then a boy from high school sent her the link, with a picture of his penis.
She had just turned 22. She thought she was flying out for yoga clothing modeling.
The car doors locked and wouldn't open. They took her purse and her phone, "put in the safe." In the hotel room they unplugged the phone and set papers in front of her. She asked to read them. "We have to hurry."
Then four shots of vodka. Then marijuana. Then seven hours.
She tried to run, naked. She was shoved back. Someone was standing outside the door.
In the video below, she tells it herself, starting with the moment they unplugged the hotel phone. Wait for what the two men said to her at first light, eating burgers.
"Sign here, sign here, initial here."
"Do you want them to find out?"
"I didn't know if they would kill me."
"Every time I didn't look like I was enjoying it, they would refilm the scene."
A week and a half later the video was all over the internet with her full name. The link everyone was getting was from Pornhub. A family friend sent it to her parents that same night.
At her deposition, the defense lawyer put up a nude freeze-frame of her and said: "sure looks like you're enjoying it in this part." She ran out of the room and threw up.
She changed her phone number six times. Someone left a dead cat on her doorstep. Her husband couldn't handle it, and they divorced. The video still gets reposted every week.
In court she became Jane Doe 18. Andre Garcia got 20 years. Matthew Wolf pleaded guilty.
She asked to read. She asked to leave. She asked them to get out.
Should the lawyer who held up that freeze-frame answer for it too, or was he just doing his job?
She says GirlsDoPorn trafficked her for sex, and no one believed her.
She was a 22-year-old sorority girl in North Carolina when she answered a "begin modeling" ad in 2015. Two days later they flew her to San Diego, put her in one of the nicest hotels in the city, and took her to the mall. They promised cash on the spot.
It was GirlsDoPorn. Same operation, another girl.
Nobody told her that. They told her not to pack: "We'll provide everything that you need." There were makeup artists. "It just seemed like any girl's dream." She thought it was her rise to fame.
Then the day dragged on. The men were all on their phones, moving her around, switching plans. She found out later they were hunting for a cameraman.
They found one. Matthew Wolfe ended up being the cameraman in her case.
She weighed about 105 pounds, stuck on the 10th floor of a high-rise hotel. They kept offering to send her to the bar for drinks on the room. She says other girls there were underage, and they were being given alcohol and drugs. She didn't drink.
In the video below, Cristina Nesbit tells it herself. Wait for the moment she realizes they already have everything on her.
"They didn't tell me what was going on, but they didn't give me an option either to say no."
"I am very close to the border."
"They already have passport copies of my passport."
"They had my social security number, they had copies of my license."
"If I fight this, well, what's going to happen?"
Wolfe got 14 years. Ruben Andre Garcia got 20. Cameraman Theodore Gyi got 4. Michael Pratt, who owned the whole operation, was caught in Spain in December 2022 and got 27 years in 2025.
In 2020 a judge ordered Pratt, Wolfe and Garcia to pay $12.7 million.
Nobody asked her to say yes. Nobody let her say no.
Was she trapped the moment they copied her passport, or should she have walked out of that hotel?

She was 21 when her childhood modeling agent booked her first job. A modeling shoot in San Diego.
It was GirlsDoPorn.
They drugged her. They raped her on camera. When she tried to run, two men tackled her. One of them was the guy holding the camera.
Then the video went up. Someone recognized her right away: "That's Annie Mishler, she's on YouTube." She immediately changed her name to Annalise.
She had two degrees. In 2017 and 2018 she couldn't get a single job, because when you googled her name, "all that came up was me being raped on camera."
For years she wasn't even allowed to call it sex trafficking. They had to call it "the Girls Do Porn business model."
In the video below, Annalise Mishler tells it herself, from her car. Wait for what she says about the man who filmed it.
"Teddy aka Theodore aka the videographer aka the man who witnessed me being drugged, me being assaulted, raped, tortured."
Theodore Gyi got 4 years. The FBI kept emailing her that his release date had moved up again. First it was something like 2036. Then 2026.
"That scared the fuck out of me."
Two days later, another email. A halfway house for a year, "and then he's just free."
Andre Garcia, the performer who orchestrated the blackmail and sent the videos to the women's families, got 20 years. Matthew Wolfe got 14. Michael Pratt, who owned the whole operation, was caught in Spain and got 27.
In 2020 a judge ordered them to pay $12.7 million. She spent six years paying lawyers every month just to get her video taken offline. Plus psychiatric bills. Plus EMDR.
She still gets sent the screenshots. She can't even open her DM requests anymore. People just assumed she "willingly did that."
Should the cameraman who filmed it and tackled her when she ran have gotten as much time as the men who ran the site, or was he really just the guy holding the camera?

A mother was going through her preteen daughter's phone when she checked the search history.
On a porn site, she found a video of her 20-year-old daughter having sex with her boyfriend.
She was at a friend's house. She got up and left. "It broke my soul."
Then she took it to national TV, and her daughter said it in front of everyone: "I'm making 20 grand a month."
Her name is Erica. She's 20, she's a college student, and she sat on the Karamo show calling her OnlyFans "business." She started about a year ago. "It's just grown and grown."
Her mother blames the boyfriend. "He's sitting here pimping out my daughter," she says.
Erica says it's not even his fault. "I'm the one who proposed it. I brought the idea to him."
"I'm young. I'm hot. Like, so why shouldn't I?"
"This is my time to be selfish and live my life and have fun."
Then she admitted the relationship had been on the rocks since they started. "I was a habitual cheater. I slept with his best friend. I slept with so many different guys." The only man she does OnlyFans with is him.
In the video below, her mother joins on screen and reminds Erica she has two little sisters who look up to her. Erica tells her to just tell them how much she makes a month.
"You don't have to sell your body."
"It's my body, my choice."
"That is the path of destruction."
"I think you should mind your business."
When her mother says porn makes women feel "not enough for our husband," Erica cuts in. "Do you see me, mom? Do you see what I look like?"
"Yes, you are beautiful."
Her little sister already found the video. Erica calls it "just a business exchange, mom."
Wait for the moment her mother tells Karamo why she thinks it really started: her daughter "got sexually abused right before it." Erica says yes, it happened. But that's not why. "I'm doing what I'm doing for money and influence."
Her little sister found her on a porn site. She calls it 20 grand a month.
So who's in the wrong here: the mother who brought her daughter's sex life onto national TV, or the 20-year-old who says it's her body, her money, and her mom should mind her business?
$150,000 a month. Maxim's top 12 hottest porn stars. The Howard Stern Show, several times.
Hundreds of thousands of followers. And some days she didn't want to get out of bed.
"I achieved everything that I had hoped to achieve in that industry and it still wasn't enough."
She grew up in San Diego with a mother who made every decision for her.
Her dad was the fun parent. He picked her up after school and took her to the park almost every day.
But the house was verbally, emotionally and sometimes physically abusive. What she heard from her mom was "you're a loser, I hate you."
At 18 she walked out the door. "I'm free. I'm going to just do it all." Anything offered, she took. She got wasted. She finally felt like she could make her own decisions.
Then the guy she lost her virginity to in high school cheated on her.
One night in Mexico, her friends walked her into a club. Women were lined up the stairs, waiting to get on a stage. It was a strip club.
Broken heart. Liquid courage. She took her top off.
And she finally heard it. You're beautiful. We love you.
"Those were things that I wanted to hear from home."
She started stripping while going to college. One night a couple of producers came in and fed her the same words.
"You are going to be a star. We make romance movies."
She already had an appointment in LA the next day. So she called, and went to the porn set. Hair, makeup, photos, an agent. Accepted the same day.
She stayed seven years.
In the video below, she tells it herself, starting with the Maxim list and the money. Wait for what that money depended on: escorting, or just shooting porn.
She says she was already broken when she walked in, and the industry just amplified it. Psychologists diagnosed her with depression, anxiety and bipolar.
After that, she says, the suicidal thoughts came almost daily. She swallowed too many pills, got scared, called 911 and had to drink charcoal. She talks about heroin withdrawal, a pimp, and the grandmother who came to get her. She says she quit porn on a plane in Las Vegas.
Her mother called her a loser. Strangers called her beautiful. The industry called her a star.
So who put her on that set: the mother who raised her on "I hate you," or the 18-year-old who chose to make that call and stayed seven years?

Linda Lovelace says her first time was in a hotel room with 5 men. She refused, and a gun came out. Her husband told her he would shoot her. In 1972 she starred in Deep Throat, a film shot for less than $50,000 that made $100,000,000+, some say rly hundreds of millions. Her husband got $1,250 for it. She wasn't allowed to have money, because with money she could escape. She says she was hypnotized to learn the act that made the film famous. Years later she said that anyone who watches it is watching her being r*ped.
In the video below she tells it herself, starting with the girl who thought it could never happen to her.
"It could happen to anyone."
She grew up sheltered. Protected.
"Nobody could ever r*pe another human being. And then it happened to me."
By then she was Linda Marciano, a mother of two on a Detroit call-in show. Everyone remembered the smile.
"They talk about the smile on my face, but nobody ever mentions the bruises on my body."
The man was Chuck Traynor, her husband and manager. Anyone she told would run back to him.
The host asks how she learned it.
"I was put under hypnosis to learn that technique."
Her father saw the film. She says he never came to help her.
The host does the math on air. Made for $40,000. Made $600 million. Nobody has ever proven that number.
The film never stopped playing anyway.
"Every time someone watches that film, they're watching me being r*ped."
Before her book came out, she sat through three days of lie detector tests. Traynor admitted hitting her. He called it a game.
She died in 2002 after a car crash.
"You can commit r*pe, you can hurt people, and it's okay?"
A gun in a hotel room. $1,250 that went to her husband. And a smile the whole country took as a yes.
She smiled on camera. Does that mean she said yes?
"I never should have been left alone to suffer the abuse of Larry Nassar."
Simone Biles said it to the U.S. Senate, weeks after the Tokyo Games. The man who abused her was her own national team doctor.
In May 2015, her teammate Maggie Nichols told USA Gymnastics she suspected Simone was a victim too. Nobody called Simone. Nobody called her parents.
Then the FBI got the case and barely moved. Over the next year, about 70 more girls were abused.
Simone found out from a newspaper, after she came home from the Rio Olympics.
In the video below, a gymnast with 25 world and 7 Olympic medals sits in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee and names everyone who let it happen.
"To be clear, I blame Larry Nassar and I also blame an entire system that enabled and perpetrated his abuse."
"Neither USAG, USOPC, nor the FBI ever contacted me or my parents."
"How much is a little girl worth?"
"It truly feels like the FBI turned a blind eye to us and went out of its way to help protect USAG and USOPC."
It got worse. In July 2021, the Justice Department's inspector general released his report. The FBI's handling was neither prompt nor thorough. Indianapolis agents interviewed only one of three gymnasts who came forward. They never opened a formal case. That delay covered July 2015 to September 2016, the months those 70 girls were abused.
Nassar was sentenced twice. In December 2017 a federal judge gave him 60 years on child p*rnography charges. In January 2018 a Michigan court added 40 to 175 years, after 156 victims read statements in the courtroom.
The agents were never charged. The Justice Department declined to prosecute them, then declined again after a new review.
The money came later. USA Gymnastics and the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee agreed to a $380 million settlement in 2021. In April 2024 the Justice Department settled 139 claims against the FBI for $138.7 million. FBI Director Christopher Wray apologized.
Simone says she endured it alongside hundreds of others. She was never supposed to be alone with him. Everyone paid to protect her left her there anyway.
Was the FBI protecting USA Gymnastics, or was it just incompetent?
Pamela Anderson kept her private tape in a safe behind a carpeted wall. Then the whole safe disappeared from her home. She and Tommy Lee didn't even notice it was gone. Copies spread through mail order and the early internet. She says Penthouse's Bob Guccione offered $5 million cash in a paper bag. They said no. She says she never made a dime.
In the video below, Pamela tells a 1990s TV host what really happened:
"I've never seen it and I will never see it."
"A whole refrigerator the size of a safe was stolen out of our place and we didn't know because we had it behind a carpeted wall and construction was going on."
"So we had people like Guccione offer us five million cash and a paper bag to have this. And we said, no, we're not getting involved in this."
"It's dirty money."
The man reportedly behind it was an electrician named Rand Gauthier. He had worked on their Malibu house and claimed Lee owed him about $20,000. In 1995, he reportedly walked out with the safe. He later talked about it in interviews, then muddied his own story. He was never charged.
By the time the couple realized the safe was missing in 1996, it was too late. They filed a police report and hired private investigator Anthony Pellicano. The tape was already out of their hands.
It ended up with Internet Entertainment Group, run by Seth Warshavsky, and sold to strangers by mail and online. In the same interviews, she vowed to sue everybody who sold or distributed it. The couple did sue IEG. The case settled around December 1997, with the terms kept confidential. She has said she never saw money from it.
The tape followed her for decades. In 2022, Hulu turned the theft into the series "Pam & Tommy." She says no one consulted her. In 2023 she told CBS, "I've not seen it to this day. It was very hurtful." Even the safe itself later sold at auction at Julien's for $2,560.
They turned down $5 million for that tape. Strangers sold it anyway, and she says she never made a dime.
Should the man who took the safe have faced charges, or was the real crime everyone who sold the tape after?
Erin Andrews got a call from a friend who was crying. He said there was a naked video of her all over the internet. She had never filmed one. A stranger had shot it through an altered peephole in her hotel room door. People said she leaked it herself for publicity. Then the FBI made her watch it, with her dad in the room. Years later, a jury awarded her $55 million.
In the video below, she tells NBC's Megyn Kelly what that call did to her:
"There's naked video of you all over the internet."
"Honestly, the first thing I said was my career is over."
"My dad thought I had been injured in a car accident because I was just screaming bloody murder."
"I'm not the girl that you think that I am."
It was 2009 and she was working for ESPN. The FBI needed to know where it happened. She lives in hotels because she's always on the road. Agents covered her body and told her to just look at the room. She looked at her dad and said she was going to throw up. He told her to do it, so they'd see it was real. She did. That same day they found it: a hotel in Nashville, Tennessee.
In one of the videos you can hear the man breathing. He keeps angling the camera every time she turns. "I think the breathing is the hardest part," she says.
His name is Michael David Barrett, from Illinois. He had stalked her at three different hotels. He pleaded guilty to interstate stalking and got two and a half years in prison. Asked if that was enough, Erin said no.
She sued him and the companies that owned and managed the Nashville hotel. Her lawyers told her they had to play the video for the jury. She asked if they were blacking out her body. They said no. She had a meltdown and walked out while the jurors watched.
She sat next to those jurors for two weeks. Then the verdict: $55 million. It was later settled for an undisclosed amount.
He said he hoped she could forgive him one day. Asked if she has, she said no. "I have to relive it all the time."
A man filmed her through a door. To prove it, she had to be seen by a whole courtroom.
Was two and a half years in prison enough for what he did, or should men like him never get out?
Paris Hilton says she was 19 when her boyfriend filmed them having s*x. He promised her no one would ever see it. Weeks before The Simple Life premiered, a clip leaked. Then it went on sale as a DVD. Rick Salomon reportedly made about $10 million in the first year. Paris says she never received a dime. She calls it being "electronically raped."
In the video below, she tells Call Her Daddy what that moment did to her:
"That was one of the most painful experiences of my life."
"I just felt like my whole world was ending. I was in hysterics crying."
"He promised me no one would ever see it."
"He was like, 'Okay, fine. If you won't do it, I'll just call someone else.'"
She was in Australia with her sister Nicky when someone on her team called. An entertainment show had a 30-second clip. She thought it was fake. She didn't even remember making it.
The Simple Life was about to launch, with a press tour booked. She kept changing her flight home, knowing paparazzi would be waiting in LA. She canceled everything.
Paris says Salomon kept pushing for it and she kept saying no. She gave in because she was scared he would have someone else come over. "I was so dumb and so young and naive."
In June 2004 it went on sale as "1 Night in Paris," through Red Light District Video. A year later the adult industry's AVN awards named it Best Selling Title of the Year. It won Best Renting Title too.
Paris sued the distributor for $30 million for invasion of privacy. The case was thrown out. Salomon sued her for $10 million for defamation, then dropped it. A 2005 settlement reportedly gave her up to $400,000 plus a cut of sales, part of it going to charity. Paris has said for years she never made a dollar from it.
Every late-night host turned it into a punchline. She stopped leaving her house, depressed and humiliated, sure she had let down her little brothers and sister. "Today that would all be illegal," she says. "It's something that will haunt me for the rest of my life."
He promised no one would ever see it. The whole world did, and she's the one still paying for it.
Should leaking a tape like that have been treated as a crime back then, or did 2004 just get to laugh?
