Visa slams the accusations that the company facilitated the spread of child pornography by continuing to grant payments to Pornhub, operated by MindGeek, following a judge refused Visa's request to be excused from a child porn lawsuit.
'Let me be clear: Visa condemns sex trafficking, sexual exploitation, and child sexual abuse,' Visa CEO Alfred F. Kelly, Jr, said in a Thursday statement. 'Our rules explicitly and unequivocally prohibit the use of our products to pay for content that depicts nonconsensual sexual behavior or child sexual abuse.'
Kelly's statement comes nearly a week after US District Judge Cormac Carney in California denied Visa's request to be dismissed from a case where 34 women who said that Pornhub had hosted videos of them being sexually assaulted or abused as minors without their consent.
The judge found that 'Visa knew that MindGeek's websites were teeming with monetized child porn.'
Kelly said that he 'strongly' disagrees with the judge's decision and is 'confident' in Visa's position. He further claimed that Visa 'suspended sites that contained user-generated content in December 2020.'
'Despite what you have read in recent days, you cannot use your Visa card on Pornhub,' Kelly said.
