WASHINGTON – A former marketing executive who worked for an OnlyFans agency that recruited girls for the platform said the site forces women to post sexually explicit content about themselves and encourages girls under 18 to lie about their age.
Victoria Sinis, the founder of Creating Gems, an organization that helps girls discover their self-worth, was one of several speakers at the Coalition to End Sexual Exploitation Global Summit this week. The event, hosted by the National Center on Sexual Exploitation and PHASE Alliance (Prevention and Healing Against Sexual Exploitation), discussed how modern technology enables sexual abuse and offered strategies to solve the problem.
In addition to warning attendees about sex websites like OnlyFans, which have been accused of paving the way for sex offenders and child molesters, experts at the summit also pointed out that other social media platforms also enable sexual exploitation.
