Shit Stain Programs and Processors Sell Child Porn

[gonzo]

ORLANDO — A federal lawsuit charges the operators of ExposedExGFS.com and KinkyGFS.com with republishing child porn images that were poached from an online message board.
The suit also targets SickBucks.com, which operates KinkyGFS.com, and processor Jettis and its 365Billing.com unit, as well as NetBilling, calling the companies as "revenue program defendants" so that the plaintiff can seek complete injunctive relief. It also names Moniker Privacy Services and Whois Privacy Protection.

The plaintiff, named a Jane Doe in the suit because she was 15 at the time she was photographed in numerous sexual poses, claims the commercial adult websites republished the photos after they were widely trafficked on online message board 4chan.org.

"It is clear the defendant websites published the images of Doe without so much as taking the time to obtain or inspect the 18 U.S.C. § 2257 records, and had they done so, photographs of Doe as a minor in actual sexually explicit conduct, would not have been published for profit on their commercial websites," the suit said.

The suit, filed at U.S. District Court in Orlando, also names Nathaniel Fry, who allegedly was involved in shooting the sexually explicit photos.

According to the suit, Doe met Fry on MySpace.com and communicated through AOL Instant Messenger with him. She later traveled from her home in Seminole County, Fla., to his home to Sacramento, where the alleged photos were shot.

Fry, who was 18 at the time, took the photos of Doe performing oral sex on him. Prior to the sex act, Fry wrote the date "4/1/07" on his hand, which was later seen in the photographs.

"Plaintiff took a nap and awakened to find that Fry had uploaded the photos to [a] section on 4chan.org and that was, at the time, laughing and exchanging comments," the suit said.

Later, co-workers viewed the photos on numerous websites, including SeeMyGF.com, which subsequently removed the photographs.

But the photographs made their way to other sites, including the two defendant websites named in the suit.

The suit seeks an injunction against posting Doe's material, as well as damages for pain and suffering and attorneys fees.

XRatedJ from SickBucks.com told XBIZ that his company has read the complaint that was served to them.

"The revenue program defendants are not accused of wrongdoing, nevertheless they are included as defendants in this action so that Doe may seek complete injunctive relief," he said. "KinkyGFS is 100-percent 2257 compliant."

XBIZ calls and email queries to Narajoa Ltd., the Nicosia, Cyprus-based owner of ExposedExGFS.com, went unreturned at post time.

Sounds as though these companies had no one working in the CYA department.

Actually, this one opens up all sorts of interesting cans of worms.

I have to ask first how a 15 year old flies across the country to shoot nudes. Something isn't entirely adding up here, but that is another story.

Second one, is how does a federal lawsuit touch a company in Cyprus? I am assuming unless the owners are stupid enough to show up, there would be a default judgement that wouldn't be enforceable outside of the US.

Third one is representation: if these sites are accepting user submitted content, are they actually working to get appropriate 2257 documents, and in fact, are those documents required for a site operated from Cyprus?

Fourth, is it the suggestion that the billing companies are liable for every piece of content on every site at all times? Were any of them notified (other than via a lawsuit) so that the offending images could be removed? Would Visa and Mastercard also be deep pocket defendants, especially if the suit is launched in a state with vicarious liablity? The billing companies would appear on the surface at least to be getting roped in only because the defendants see some money, somehow.

Fifth, where is 4chan in all this? Besides the lulz, you have to wonder what the fuck is going on when a site like that becomes a great source for kiddy porn. makes ya wonder.

Just my 2¢, as I have no inside info, but I believe the billing processors and others being named is so that the plaintiff can go after the funds once there is a judgement against the primary plaintiff, since they're in Cyprus and all but untouchable.

Many of these sites, 4chan, GF sites, illegal tubes, etc. are all claiming to be exempt from 2257 because the content is user uploaded and unreviewed. We know that's total bullshit in many cases, but damn difficult to prove without insider evidence.

My guess is they are just pulling things they have no idea how old they are. When I was in hs alot of the girls looked much older and developed but were 15 -16. Now you got everyone with a cell phone that takes pics. they are in big trouble.
