COURT WON ’ T ALLOW

MINDGEEK TO ESCAPE SEX TRAFFICKING

LAWSUITS By Sara Stephens

An Alabama federal judge has denied MindGeek ’ s Motion to Dismiss the complaint brought on behalf of two sex trafficking survivors ( Case 7:21-cv-00220-LSC ). Lawyers for the Plaintiffs are also seeking injunctive relief for the class members , which would put in place additional verification and protective measures on the website . “ We are encouraged by the Court ’ s order ,” says Levin Papantonio Rafferty ( LPR ) partner Kim Adams . Other firms co-counseling with LPR in the representation of Plaintiffs in the MindGeek case include ZarZaur Law ; Laffey , Bucci & Kent ; Conrad Obrien ; National Center on Sexual Exploitation ( NCOSE ); and Price , Glover , Hayes .
