Ankara: An Istanbul court has sentenced 27 adult content creators and adult film performers to 10 years in prison each for allegedly earning money by selling explicit videos on online platforms.

The action was taken as part of an ongoing investigation into cyber-related crimes and the online distribution of sexually explicit content. Authorities said the individuals used adult websites and subscription-based platforms to share and sell explicit material.

According to the court, the accused earned money by uploading their own explicit videos and offering other adult-oriented services through online platforms. Investigators found that they continued their activities despite restrictions imposed by the government.

Turkey blocked a major adult content website in 2023. However, officials said some creators bypassed the restrictions by changing their IP addresses and using other online platforms to continue sharing content and generating income.

The investigation began after the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office received several complaints regarding the online activities. Following the inquiry and court proceedings, the court sentenced all 27 individuals to 10 years in prison.
