Files a formal criminal complaint with local police or the local prosecutor under state NCII criminal statutes. The complaint triggers law enforcement investigation that can result in criminal charges against the perpetrator. The content was generated by Civitai, a model hosting service operating from Delaware. Pornhub typically responds to NCII notices within the statutory 48 hour window. Civitai is currently operating without major regulatory restriction, which means removal action proceeds primarily against the distribution layer.
Why this matters for Civitai content on Pornhub
- Civitai hosts thousands of LoRA models trained on identifiable individuals without their consent. Each removed model prevents future generation rather than addressing existing content.
- Pornhub is among the most trafficked NCII destinations on the open web. Mirror sites repost content within hours, so removal from Pornhub alone is rarely sufficient without parallel removals from related domains.
- Civitai content distributed through Pornhub typically reaches between four and twelve additional platforms within 72 hours through reposts, mirrors, and cross platform redistribution.
- Source attribution to Civitai is critical for criminal complaint because it establishes the AI generated nature of the content, which strengthens statutory claims under 47 USC 223a regardless of whether the depicted person ever existed in unaltered form.
