Two Florida men, Emerson Callum, and Lavont Flanders, were each prosecuted and convicted in a related criminal case and sentenced to life terms. According to her complaint, two men contacted her through the site, drugged her, raped her, and filmed the event for pornographic films. The lawsuit arose from events that unfolded in February 2011, when Jane Doe posted information about herself on Model Mayhem in an effort to get modeling work. The complaint alleges that Internet Brands, which is the parent company of Model Mayhem, had knowledge of criminal activity perpetrated by Model Mayhem users, and failed to warn other users about it. The case in question is known as Jane Doe No. Model Mayhem, the online community that connects models with photographers, is heading back to court in a case that could have ramifications far beyond the photography industry - so far beyond, in fact, that such internet giants as Facebook, Craigslist, and Tumblr have weighed in on the case, throwing their support behind the defendant.
