Ethan Diaz, a 22-year-old man from New Jersey, pleaded no contest to child abuse charges in a Florida court for selling sex videos of a 16-year-old girl on the adults-only website OnlyFans. He was sentenced to five years in prison followed by five years of supervised probation, with credit for over a year of time served. Diaz was ordered not to use OnlyFans and to have no contact with the victim during his probation.
Authorities said Diaz met the girl online and convinced her to produce sexual content of herself to be sold on OnlyFans. Over a three-month period in early 2023, Diaz posted numerous sex videos and images of the girl on an account he controlled, directing her to post sexually explicit material as well. In April 2023, Diaz flew in from New Jersey, picked up the girl, and was arrested at an Airbnb where he had filmed six more sex videos with her. He was arrested before he could post them on OnlyFans.
OnlyFans did not comment on Diaz’s case, but the company claims to vet every user and all content to prevent children from being on the site. In addition to child abuse, Diaz also pleaded no contest to charges of custodial interference and illegal use of a communication device. His attorney, James Hill, did not provide a comment on the case.
