Scandal discovered: child pornography on OnlyFans

Matthew Richardson, 36, has entered a guilty plea in federal court to distributing child pornography. The charges followed the posting of a sex video featuring a 16-year-old girl on the website OnlyFans, a case that attracted widespread media attention.

Richardson’s arrest came after he fled New York with the teenager and struck up a sexual relationship that eventually led to the creation and distribution of explicit content under his alias Skylar Ravenwood. The video was reportedly available on his OnlyFans account for over a year before it was deleted.

The incident is part of a broader investigation that has uncovered multiple cases of child sexual abuse on OnlyFans. While the platform maintains that it does not allow children and is taking swift action against such material, the persistence of these cases raises serious concerns about its content monitoring mechanisms.
