SAN DIEGO — The attorney who filed the 2016-2018 civil lawsuit on behalf of former GirlsDoPorn models, which the led to the criminal prosecution of the site’s owner and associates, has filed a lawsuit against Aylo and associated companies, on behalf of 61 Jane Doe models who allege the company formerly known as MindGeek was complicit in the now-shuttered GDP site’s activities.

The complaint, filed on Tuesday by San Diego attorney Brian Holm and two of his partners, alleges that Aylo “knowingly participated in and benefited from GirlsDoPorn’s sex trafficking venture.”

The former models are seeking restitution, claiming Aylo was complicit in sex trafficking, racketeering, conspiracy to commit racketeering and human trafficking. The claims are based on MindGeek’s alleged monetization and distribution of GDP content between 2009 and 2020, when the site was seized by federal authorities while owner Michael Pratt was a fugitive from U.S. justice.

An Aylo rep told XBIZ, “The safety of our community is our No. 1 priority, so we are proud to have instituted trust and safety policies that surpass those of any other major user-generated platform on the internet.

“Our compliance program has helped us set the standard for the tech industry, and we are committed to remaining at the forefront of this important area,” the rep added.

“Out of respect for the integrity of court proceedings, our policy is not to comment on ongoing litigation,” the Aylo rep concluded. “We look forward to the facts being fully and fairly aired in that forum.”

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Self Serve organized a September donation drive to help offer free emergency contraception in the Albuquerque area.

The New Mexico adult store, which has a focus on community health and education, has been committed to providing low-cost and free community-funded emergency contraception since the beginning of 2023.

In August, the store reported, the demand for emergency contraception began to surpass the available donations.

“This sparked a month-long donation drive in September in which customers received a 20% off coupon for every emergency contraception pill donation,” a rep said. “With the support of community members, Self Serve collected 120 emergency contraception pills in September, ensuring that this essential resource remains available to those who need it.”

Store Manager Stevie Wilke expressed their satisfaction with the community’s response, stating, “It’s frustrating how inaccessible this pill has been since its inception. The community members who need it the most usually face the most barriers to access it. I’m so proud to work at Self Serve and be a part of a community that is trying to help each other when in need. Our goal is to flip the script around emergency contraception. Because Plan-B has been so gate-kept many people don’t realize it has a shelf life just like any other over the counter pills in your medicine cabinet. You don’t have to wait until it’s an emergency to get it, you can have it on hand so when an emergency occurs you are already prepared.”

Owner Matie Fricker added, “Self Serve is an intentionally created space for all community members to access support around their sexual health needs without judgment, shame, or stigma. Thanks to the generous donations from our community, anyone at any age can receive a donated pill or purchase them for only $14.98.  For many, this is their first experience of receiving community care, and they tear up when we let them know a stranger cared about them enough to make a hard day a little bit easier to manage.” 

To continue supporting this program, community members can purchase donation pills at Self Serve or online. Those in need of emergency contraception can visit Self Serve in Albuquerque or order pills online.

The brand is inspired by a modern twist on the Little Red Riding Hood tale and the toys are “designed to provide therapeutic benefits,” said a rep.

The Kickstarter offers a set of poi floggers with attachable handles, as well as collars. Red & Mr. Wolf is offering DIY tiers “to help reduce costs and get people involved in making their own toys,” the rep noted.

Shashkes explained that kink “is all about creating consent-based relationships and learning to take care of our deepest and sometimes darkest needs in ways that don’t harm others. This has been very healing and therapeutic for me so I want to educate more people about the possibilities and expand that consent and care also towards animals and the environment.”

In this re-imagination of Little Red Riding Hood, the rep concluded, “Red and the Wolf collaborate to protect the natural world and animals, symbolizing the way kink empowers people to create their own stories.”
