What changed
The Indiana Attorney General filed suit against approximately 50 pornographic website operators associated with Aylo, alleging violations of Indiana's age verification law (IC 24-4-18) and the state's Deceptive Consumer Sales Act. The lawsuit alleges defendants made false statements about website accessibility to Indiana residents and deliberately exposed minors to obscene content including sexual violence, choking, rape fantasies, and sex slavery. All defendants are alleged to be part of a single multinational pornographic conglomerate.
Website operators should immediately review their age verification systems for Indiana users to ensure compliance with state law. Technology companies and online retailers distributing adult content must implement robust age verification mechanisms. The lawsuit signals aggressive enforcement of age verification requirements in Indiana and sets the stage for potential injunctive relief and civil penalties under state consumer protection statutes.

Add to calendar Protecting children from porn: Attorney General Todd Rokita files lawsuit against websites allegedly violating age verification law
Attorney General Todd Rokita is suing the operators of approximately 50 pornographic websites, alleging they have violated Indiana’s age-verification law and chosen instead to deliberately expose children to their obscene and sexually explicit images and videos.
The content made available to children by the defendants — all of whom are associated with a multinational pornographic conglomerate known as Aylo — includes sexual violence, choking, rape fantasies, sex slavery and sex with teen girls.
“We know for a fact, from years of research, that adolescent exposure to pornography carries severe physical and psychological harms,” Attorney General Rokita said. “It makes boys more likely to perpetrate sexual violence and girls more likely to be sexually victimized. Yet, despite such realities, these defendants seem intent on peddling their pornographic perversions to Hoosier kids.”
In addition to Indiana’s age-verification law, the lawsuit also alleges the defendants violated the state’s Deceptive Consumer Sales Act in several ways: 1) by making false and misleading statements regarding the accessibility of the pornographic websites by Indiana residents and 2) by misleading consumers about their alleged hosting of Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) and Nonconsensual Material (NCM).
