ALT Officers of the APPG on Commercial Sexual Exploitation
A man has admitted murdering a young woman, Maria Saceanu, who he contacted via the pimping website Vivastreet.
An absolutely abhorrent crime.
Our thoughts are with Maria's family.

🚨 Today, I have written jointly with @ToniaAntoniazzi to the @CommonsSITC calling for a Parliamentary inquiry into allegations of exploitation, trafficking and safeguarding failures linked to @OnlyFans.
The call follows concerns raised in @BBC 's documentary OnlyFans: Inside the Machine.
This is not about lawful content creation. It is about ensuring that where exploitation, coercion, trafficking or abuse may be occurring, there are effective safeguards in place to identify harm, protect victims and hold those responsible to account.
As the UK's Independent Anti-Slavery Commissioner, I believe that as exploitation increasingly evolves online, our systems for safeguarding and accountability must evolve too.
đź“· OnlyFans: Inside the Machine airs tonight:
BBC Three | 9pm
BBC One | 10.55pm

Despite marketing itself as a harmless and empowering progressive fantasy, this investigation indicates that @OnlyFans is in fact a playground for commercial sexual exploitation and abuse 🧵/ 1

When sex is purchased, there will always be pimping, coercion and violence towards women.
I agree with @ToniaAntoniazzi the Government should launch an inquiry into OnlyFans.

This is the biggest sex trafficking operation in modern Scottish history, and it is happening in plain sight. 1/2

Vast websites advertising prostitution are operating in Scotland - in violation of our anti-trafficking law. Why have they not been shut down?
The perpetrators must be held accountable - and victims must receive justice.

Last month, a law was passed giving @ShabanaMahmood the power to force p*rnography companies to verify the age & permission of everyone featured on their site - as advocated for by members of @APPG_CSE
UN experts have now joined calls for governments to enforce this 👇
UN experts alarmed by complicity of online pornographic platforms and other intermediaries in large-scale sexual exploitation of women and girls. “This creates a system in which victims are constantly retraumatised and forced to chase their own abuse.”

The power of parliamentary campaigns! Well done to everyone who helped get us this far, now for the power to be used for protections to be put in place.
Today, the Crime & Policing Bill has become law.
@ShabanaMahmood now has the power to force p*rnography websites to verify everyone in their videos is an adult, gave permission and can withdraw their consent at any time.
This power must be used to its fullest without delay.

I've written to the Home Secretary @ShabanaMahmood to report what I believe is the biggest sex trafficking operation in modern Scottish history.
We need to shut down pimping websites now.
