Clark Smith Villazor LLP and Schwartz | Breslin PLLC are proud to announce that today in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida, they filed a class action lawsuit lawsuit captioned Alice Rosenblum v. Passes Inc., et al., against Passes Inc. (“Passes”), a social media platform, Lucy Guo, its founder and principal, WLM Management LLC, Nofhotos Group LLC and Alec Celestin and Lani Ginoza, both agents of Passes and the latter its prior “Director of Talent.”
The Complaint, filed by Rosenblum on her own behalf and on behalf of those similarly situated, sets forth allegations that demonstrate that Passes, Guo, WLM, Nofhotos, Celestin and Ginoza violated State and Federal law by producing, possessing, and distributing child pornography in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 2252, 2252A and related Florida criminal statutes. The Complaint details a scheme where the named defendants, acting on behalf of Passes, recruited young women, that they knew were minors, to create pornography before they reached the age of 18, and to distribute that child pornography on the Passes platform to paying subscribers, both before and after the subject became of age.
The Complaint further details how Passes and the individual defendants took to disguise their scheme and to cover their tracks once their sexual exploitation of minor women was revealed, including changing its public representations about the compliance policy just two days ago, and also about its relationship with Celestin. Our firms are proud to take action on behalf of the victims of this illegal and immoral scheme.
