Hi John,

In a major breakthrough in the fight against Pornhub, 70 Canadian Members of Parliament and Senators from all political parties just sent a strongly worded letter to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, demanding for a full criminal investigation of Pornhub and its parent company MindGeek.

In doing this, Parliament has responded to our collective voices. Just two weeks ago, we sent a joint letter to Parliament along with 525 other NGOs and 104 survivors from 65 countries.

With the powerful unity of a global movement, we called for a criminal investigation into MindGeek. The letter was widely covered in the Canadian press and lawmakers responded.

For the past month, Canada’s Ethics Committee has been conducting their own investigation, which has included overwhelmingly incriminating testimonies from survivors and leaders of the largest child protection agencies in North America.

While their investigation has done a notable job of exposing Pornhub's crimes, this committee will need to rely on the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) to do a full-scale criminal investigation.

The letter reads, in part:

“We join the voices of over 100 survivors of sexual exploitation along with hundreds of non-governmental organizations to call for a full criminal investigation into MindGeek and its subsidiaries…

With numerous documented cases of child sexual abuse material published by MindGeek websites stretching back years, we were shocked to learn during the RCMP’s testimony on February 22, 2021 at the Ethics Committee that the RCMP had zero outstanding investigations regarding MindGeek…

It is absolutely unacceptable that a Canadian company continues to operate in Canada with seeming impunity to our laws.”

As we collectively push for the full measure of justice for Pornhub/MindGeek and continue to provide specialized trauma therapy to its victims, you can help fuel this work by giving here.

For freedom,
