LOS ANGELES — MindGeek and 50 models who had sued Pornhub’s parent company over their distribution of GirlsDoPorn content have reached a settlement, court records show.
Yesterday, the models — listed as Jane Doe 1-50 — filed a joint motion to dismiss the case with prejudice.
On October 6, the court had ordered the Parties to “file a joint status report on the status of settlement negotiations within ten (10) days of the date of this Order.”
The models’ lawyer, Brian Holm, told Vice’s tech vertical Motherboard today that the Parties "reached a mutual resolution to resolve the dispute and the terms are confidential.”
The lawsuit against MindGeek was filed in December 2020 by Holm, the same attorney who represented the models in the earlier civil lawsuit against GirlsDoPorn and owner Michael Pratt, which unravelled when a parallel investigation by the FBI resulted in criminal indictments for human trafficking and sexual assault charges.
XBIZ has reached out to MindGeek for comment.
