Fox News
Kristy Althaus, runner-up in the 2021 Miss Teen Colorado pageant, is suing Pornhub and its parent company, MindGeek, for allowing videos from GirlsDoPorn to circulate online.
"Threatened, coerced, and physically and sexually assaulted, Plaintiff was forced to succumb to the demands of the GirlsDoPorn sex trafficking venture, entirely sustained by MindGeek’s vast online network," the federal lawsuit filed on Sept. 8 states. "Unidentified men continue to approach Plaintiff’s home at all hours of the day and night." Audrey Conklin is a digital reporter for Fox News Digital and FOX Business.

The lawsuit alleges that in 2013, after winning the runner-up title, Althaus pursued a paid modeling gig advertisement on Craigslist, and GirlsDoPorn flew her out to San Diego for "one photoshoot (sic)." She was 18 at the time.
