All that is published on OnlyFans it should stay on OnlyFans. The platform’s policies are clear and creators often remind their subscribers of this. But as we saw with the case of the Phica forum, the opposite regularly happens. The videos are taken, disseminated on other platforms, exchanged on Telegram groups or passed on to your contacts on WhatsApp.
Now there is one ruling of the Supreme Court which clarifies better what happens to those who spread this type of content. Certain. It is a sentence that starts from a rather particular case, as reported by newspaper Il Messaggero. It concerns three people who, according to what is written, also knew each other outside the platform. Two were also neighbors.
The matter reached the Court of Cassation
The facts date back to the period between February and October 2021. A girl joins OnlyFans and starts posting explicit content. This content from the platform reaches two boys. Both are defined as “friends of the victim”, one of whom is also a neighbour. Now there are no details of how the exchanges of this “threesome” took place. The two boys, however, had some access to the contents published by the girl on OnlyFans. So far there has been no hypothesis of a crime. The problems began when one of the two boys shared explicit material with a woman fourth person. At this point the girl reported it.
Phica under accusation: the first complaints for defamation and violation of privacy are filed
What the Supreme Court says about videos released by OnlyFans
The first degree sentence arrives at 5 months and 10 days in prison. Then the Court of Appeal overturns the sentence: the victim’s complaint would have arrived too late. The Court of Cassation, however, established that the reporting deadlines were respected and above all that sharing videos received on OnlyFans with others constitutes a crime. Here is the text of the sentence that we took from the documents. The reference to the file isCourt of Cassation – section. V pen. – ordinance no. 30169 of 02-09-2025.
“It must be considered that the crime of illicit dissemination of sexually explicit images or videos includes the conduct of those who, having received or in any case acquired visual material published on the social network (here we are talking about OnlyFans, ed.) transmit it to third parties without the consent of the person portrayed, since the consent expressed by the latter at the time of sharing (in this case, for a fee) is limited to the right to view only the recipient of the content”.
