Motherless platform exposed in CNN investigation into online sexual assault methods
A CNN investigation led by journalist Saskya Vandoorne has uncovered the existence of Motherless, a pornographic platform used to share methods for committing sexual assaults. The investigation revealed that users on the site exchange techniques for drugging and assaulting partners.
The research, prompted by details emerging from the Mazan trial in Avignon, found hundreds of thousands of videos depicting women being sexually assaulted while unconscious or sedated. According to Aurore Bergé, the platform reached approximately 62 million monthly visitors as of May.
