A father is concerned for his young daughter’s welfare that she is being exposed to over-sexualised behaviour as her mother is allegedly engaging in sexual activity on the OnlyFans social media platform, a court has heard.
At the Family Law Court, solicitor, Mairéad Doyle for the father told Judge Alec Gabbett that the father has made a complaint to the Gardai and to Tusla, the Child and Family Agency (CFA) concerning his ex-wife’s alleged activity on OnlyFans, the online platform known mainly for its adult content.
Ms Doyle said that the woman living in a Co Clare town has also allegedly uploaded content to publicly accessible forums which do not require payment.
The couple are divorced and Ms Doyle explained that the mother has custody of the couple’s daughter and she said that her client is very concerned that the young daughter is being exposed to her mother’s alleged OnlyFans activities in the family home.
Ms Doyle said that her client has provided her with screenshots of video of the mother engaging in sexual activity with others.
Judge Gabbett said: “The father’s concern is that the daughter is being exposed to over-sexualised behaviour in the home and the child is at risk so much so that he has made contact with the Gardai.”
Ms Doyle said this is the case and Judge Gabbett said that if TUSLA was aware of the allegations and that they prove correct, they would take the young child out of the home.
Ms Doyle confirmed that a Protection Order on behalf of the child to be sought by the father in the district court against the mother is under consideration.
Ms Doyle said that her client’s fear is that the mother is filming in the home while the child is in the house at the same time.
Ms Doyle said that an application to vary access in the circuit court is also an option for the father but would take longer.
Judge Gabbett said: “There would want to be very strong grounds for a Protection Order. The threshold needs to be met.”
The most recently filed accounts show that the company behind OnlyFans, the London based Fenix International Ltd recorded gross revenues of $7.2bn last year with OnlyFans creators receiving 80pc of all payments with 20pc going to Fenix International.
The firm recorded pre-tax profits of $683.57m last year on net revenues of $1.4bn. The company’s revenues for the UK and Europe total $283m.
Fenix International is led by Dublin born ceo and lawyer, Keily Blair and a spokesperson for OnlyFans on Friday declined to provide revenues generated by Irish based OnlyFans ‘creators’ or how many ‘creators’ are based here.
Globally the number of creator accounts last year increased by 13pc to 4.6m while the total number of fan accounts increased by 24pc to 377.4m.
