Rep. Gosar Asks DOJ to Investigate OnlyFans

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Rep. Paul Gosar, R-Arizona, wrote a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland asking that the Justice Department investigate the parent company of OnlyFans for promoting and profiting from ‘online prostitution.’ Now, Gosar wants Attorney General Garland to use a racist, outdated federal law to bring about a criminal resolution to this so-called crisis.

“The site OnlyFans.com operates across state lines and provides a platform which, while probably immunized from tort under Section 230, does appear to facilitate and even encourage interstate travel of the sort directly targeted by the Mann Act,” said Gosar, a dentist by trade with no prior public service experience.

“On this site, individuals can advertise their willingness to travel across state lines for illegal or immoral activity, and the platform providing publicity for these individuals appears to subsidize and capitalize off this travel.”

Gosar’s letter proceeds: “It is worth investigating this issue further, given the volume of activity on this site and anecdotal reports about prostitution, child exploitative material, and illicit sexual coercion.” Gosar is asking Garland to use the Mann Act.

Today I’m writing the U.S. Attorney General requesting an investigation into @OnlyFans for promoting, and profiting from, online prostitution. I encourage @TheJusticeDept to vigorously protect vulnerable people from platforms that promote coercive immoral and sexual activity.
