More than 30 women are suing the company which owns the streaming site Pornhub, alleging exploitation over the use of explicit videos of them.
The women say the videos were uploaded to Pornhub without their consent and have lodged a civil suit in California.
The California lawsuit accuses Mindgeek of running a "criminal enterprise".
In a statement, Pornhub called the allegations "utterly absurd, completely reckless and categorically false".
