Porn Video Made in Santa Monica Library in Broad Daylight

The community of Santa Monica is shocked and outraged after footage emerged showing a woman and a man engaged in sexual activity in a local library in broad daylight. The woman also apparently exposed herself while in close proximity to a local elementary school. 

As reported by KCBS-TV, the amateur porn video, which appears to have been uploaded to mega website Pornhub, shows a woman walking around the community and entering the local library during business hours where she and the male camera holder engage in sex acts. His face is never seen on camera. In one part of the footage, which only lasts about 10 minutes, the woman in the video also walks by John Muir Elementary during the daylight, possibly school hours, and exposes herself.

According to authorities, this stunt was done in part as click bait to increase views, and thus revenue, from pornographic website Pornhub. The latest polling from Alexa Internet, a web traffic analysis website owned and operated by Amazon, records Pornhub as the 38^th most visited website on the internet.

Pornhub is a pornographic website that features both professional and amateur pornography. Basically, anyone with an account can upload a video for the entire internet to see.

The website has come under scrutiny for publishing videos of women who were coerced into committing sex acts on camera, revenge porn and, most disturbingly, the site at times has videos of women and minors who are victims of sex trafficking and sexual abuse.

In one particularly troubling story, a mother found her missing 15-year-old daughter on the website months after her disappearance. By that time, her underage daughter was in 58 videos on the site. Unfortunately, those videos of her sexual abuse will never be fully purged from the internet because the platform allows men to download them.

The stunt in Santa Monica is also disturbing, but for different reasons. The couple, with only the woman on camera, walks into the library on a bright sunny day with apparently no regard for the children who could potentially oversee them commit sex acts between the stacks.

“God forbid, a child walked in the library and walked right in on the middle of it. That’s my biggest concern,” Janet McLaughlin, a neighbor, said. “Children don’t need to be exposed to this. If you want to do porn, stick to the hotels.”

Their actions show a complete lack of respect for the community, families and for libraries as institutions for learning and education.

But is it really that surprising? There are now drag queen story hours and pro-LGBT events held at libraries seemingly every day now. They’ve become arenas to push the progressive agenda and sexual identity politics, and not bastions of knowledge. It almost figures that these amateur porn actors decided that a public library was the perfect place to push the limits of acceptability.

As someone who worked in libraries for more than five years, I was incredibly disappointed to read about this. I love libraries and hope to build one in my own home someday. That such a public place, designed as community meeting place for friends and families, would be treated with such distain is hard to believe. But it is a reflection of our culture, one where nothing is sacred and the desire for the almighty click supersedes all else.
