    Shilpa Shetty finally breaks her silence on the pornography controversy

    On July 19, Bollywood actor Shilpa Shetty’s entrepreneur husband Raj Kundra was arrested by Mumbai Police for allegedly producing and distributing pornographic films through mobile apps.

    The Mumbai Crime Branch continues to investigate the adult film racket case that has come to the surface. Indian media has reported that the Baazigar diva broke down and shouted at the businessman asking him: “What was the need to do all this, we have everything, what was the need to do all this?” during the raid at their residence.

    The Hungama 2 diva has finally issued an official statement on the on-going controversy on her Instagram handle.

    The Apne star captioned her post as, “Yes! The past few days have been challenging, on every front. There have been a lot of rumours and accusations. A lot of unwarranted aspersions on me cast by the media and (not so) well wishers as well. A lot of trolling/questions posed… not only to me but also to my family.”

    Mumbai Police confirmed that a case was filed in February 2021 and Raj Kundra was the “key conspirator” in the complaint.

  • Pornhub bans downloads after expose alleges videos of abuse

    Pornhub bans downloads after expose alleges videos of abuse

    Pornography website Pornhub has outlined new measures against illegal content on its platform after the New York Times reported finding videos depicting child sex abuse and rape on the site.

    The paper asserted that among the 6.8 million new videos posted on the site each year, a majority “probably involve consenting adults, but many depict child abuse and non-consensual violence.”

    Pornhub, the Times said, also lets users download videos directly from its site, which allows anyone to repost clips repeatedly and without limit.

    “Today, we are taking major steps to further protect our community,” said a statement on Pornhub. “Going forward, we will only allow properly identified users to upload content. We have banned downloads.”

    Only content partners and people who earn ad revenue from their videos will be able to upload videos to the site.

    “In the new year, we will implement a verification process so that any user can upload content upon successful completion of identification protocol,” the statement read.

    Paid downloads remain possible, says the company, adding that it has also strengthened its moderation process.

    On Monday officials at MasterCard and Visa launched a probe into their links with the site, warning that they would cut ties with the parent company, MindGeek if it turns out that the site is not following the law. Meanwhile, PayPal had stopped processing payments to Pornhub last year.

    Pornhub told AFP in a statement that it has “no tolerance” for content that shows sexual abuse of children.

    Pakistan reportedly tops the list of most porn-searching countries.

  • Child pornographer released on bail

    Child pornographer released on bail

    The Lahore High Court (LHC) has released a man, arrested for selling child pornography to an international child pornography ring, on bail.

    According to reports, a judicial magistrate on April 26, 2018, had awarded seven-years imprisonment to Saadat Amin of Sargodha under Section 22 of Prevention of Electronic Crime Act 2016 and imposed a fine of Rs1.2 million on him.

    Federal Investigation Agency’s (FIA) cybercrime cell had arrested Amin on the complaint of the Norwegian embassy during 2017.

    Saadat was an active member of an international group, operating online from Pakistan. He used to engage children between the age of 10-12 years and transmit their pornographic pictures/videos outside the country for monetary benefits. 650,000 pictures and video related to child pornography were reportedly recovered from the convict’s possession.

    In an appeal before the high court, the Sadaat’s lawyer Rana Nadeem Ahmad argued that the investigation held by the agency was faulty as it failed to arrest or investigate the alleged foreign agent in Norway. Besides, the appellant had been languishing behind the bars since his arrest in 2017, while his main appeal against the sentence had not been decided by the high court.

    He asked the court to suspend the sentence and release the appellant on bail as he was ready to furnish surety bonds. Justice Farooq Haider suspended the sentence and released the convict on bail against bonds of Rs200,000.

    The shocking news about a man from Rawalpindi raping and molesting 30 children left everyone stunned.

    According to reports, the suspect, identified as Sohail Ayaz was arrested after a woman filed a case against him for kidnapping her 13-year-old son, drugging him and then raping him for four days. The man even recorded videos of the children and blackmailed to release them if they exposed him.

    It is pertinent to mention here that the 46-year-old man is a chartered accountant by profession and worked at a government department in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, according to the police.

    He has also been imprisoned for raping children in the United Kingdom and Italy. He was then deported from both the countries after he completed his prison sentences.

    Among those who spoke up against the heinous act were actors Mehwish Hayat, Mansha Pasha and Sanam Saeed, who expressed their disgust on Twitter.

    Mehwish called for a “shut down [of] all the networks and mafias exploiting our children in this way.”
