OnlyFans 22-year-old has 'had threats to dismember and rape' her

A 22-year-old sex worker who sells her content on OnlyFans has spoken of the death threats she has received online, including when someone threatened to dismember her. Miki-rose, from Gravesend in Kent, says she has been stalked online and has received disturbing comments during the time she has been using the website.

It comes as data from Kent Police revealed in the first 11 months of this year, there have been 35 reports where ‘OnlyFans’ has been included in the enquiry log. Among these, there have been six reports of stalking, four reports of harassment, three reports of sending letters etc with intent to cause distress or anxiety, and two of blackmail.

There have also been four reports of disclosing or threatening to disclose private sexual photographs or films with intent to cause distress, and two reports of threats to destroy or damage property. In most cases (14) whilst a suspect was identified, the victim did not support or withdrew support for further action, reports KentLive

Miki-rose launched her OnlyFans page in January 2020. She said since then, has had numerous bad experiences and whilst she has never resorted to going to the police about any of these incidents, she hopes the police would take complaints from the website’s creators seriously.

The 22-year-old said: “I’ve been stalked online and had people try to find out where I live, making hundreds of new accounts just to still see what I post. Getting harassed online is pretty typical for every OnlyFans creator but I’ve also had it in public, for instance I once said no to hanging out with a group of guys in a nightclub that recognised me and they tried to act up.

“At that time my friend stepped in to intimidate them and get them to leave me alone. I’ve been followed around conventions, I’ve had people threaten to send my content to family members despite them already knowing what I do for work.

“I’ve also had my content stolen and resold by others and I’ve had numerous threats of being kidnapped and/or raped. One person even told me that they would “find and dismember me”. Most of these things I would be unable to report as they’ve come from people overseas or from untraceable accounts unfortunately.

“Luckily for me, every public occurrence has been quelled by my friends or staff stepping in so hasn’t led to a report. The site unfortunately has absolutely no safeguarding in place for when things like this happen. They barely reply to technical support emails.

“Even with content leaking and theft online, they do not support creators. I currently pay an outside agency to help me deal with that. I would like to think the police would take OnlyFans creators seriously as they should be impartial when dealing with crimes.

“I haven’t dealt with them yet for anything concerning my page though so I couldn’t say for certain.” Last year, the force saw 56 reports which included the ‘OnlyFans’ in the enquiry log.

Some of the offences recorded in the last four years have included rape or attempted rape, and sexual assault. Some of these allegedly involved children under 16. The website was created in 2016. It allows subscribers to access exclusive content that is behind a paywall.

Many of its creators post sexually explicit content, but last year, the website changed it rules meaning the most pornographic content was banned from the site.
