A Reuters investigation has uncovered 128 complaints to US police agencies from individuals claiming they were featured in sexually explicit content on OnlyFans without their consent between 2019 and 2023. The investigation highlights allegations of rape, abuse, and betrayal, with victims sharing harrowing experiences. One Florida woman recounted, 'A company saw me being raped and they made money off of it,' describing how a video of her alleged rape was posted for sale on the platform. Despite OnlyFans CEO Keily Blair's assertion that the site moderates 100% of content and vets creators thoroughly, the investigation found significant gaps in this system. In response, OnlyFans stated it is designed to prevent non-consensual sharing and requires ID and consent proof from all featured individuals. The company also mentioned tightening procedures in late 2022 to require proof-of-consent documents before such content could be posted. Additionally, a victim named Sammy shared her traumatic experience, highlighting the personal impact of these incidents.
