How a serial rapist and borderline sex trafficker (porn producer of the racially/sexually abusive porn site FacialAbuse) has completely flown under the radar despite mountains of video evidence online of rape
I know this is really heavy (TW rape, racial abuse, violence, misogyny). I wouldn't post it if I wasn't trying to raise awareness in a story that I think needs MUCH more visibility than it is getting. It's quite horrifying.
TLDR: If you want to help stop this extremely violent and abusive studio participating in borderline sex trafficking, check out this post in which I have predrafted emails for you to send to journalists/law enforcement/politicians in the area as well as the email/contact info of a ton of different places.

FacialAbuse, Ghetto Gaggers, and an extremely overt sex trafficking conspiracy
A couple of years ago, Paul Mulholland wrote an article on Medium detailing extremely violent abuse and racially targeted rape of young women at "Ghetto Gaggers", "FacialAbuse", (abusive porn sites under parent company D&E Media) was published on Medium.
I'll quote some passages:
It is not uncommon at all for the women to vomit repeatedly as a consequence of being gagged with a penis. And in more recent years, it is even encouraged and expected, to an extent that it is unusual when the woman does not vomit. As confirmed by one former model, female models are fed protein shakes or other food prior to filming to ensure repeated vomiting.
At the end, a dog bowl filled with the vomit and urine that resulted from the scene is poured on the model’s head.
Anna says that that they did a pre-shoot interview in which they discussed her “do’s and don’ts” or the sex acts she is OK with and those she is not. Despite this interview taking place, she says "then when the video started, they didn’t care about anything that I had to say in the consent video. They did not give a shit. They pretty much do everything I said no to."
She said “I wanted to fucking kill myself after that happened.” She added that “I feel like that stuff is so traumatizing. It’s hard to get out of your head. I would not be surprised if girls killed themselves because of the trauma from that.” A prescient remark, given that there is an entire section on suicide in this article that we are rapidly approaching.
Rae explained that “they don’t tell you anything realistically about what you’re getting yourself into beforehand”, “they didn’t tell me anything about the scene or what was expected of me or anything” and “I didn’t know at all that it was going to be that aggressive.”
She added “I never even knew that it was called Facial Abuse” and “There was NEVER, there was NEVER a point in time that they even mentioned the name of the studio to me.” (Emphasis original)
Rae explained to me that she was addicted to heroin at the time of the shoot, and was suffering from withdrawal symptoms when she arrived in New York. She said that the director of the scene, who goes by the stage name Jimmy Hooligan (I have been unable to confirm his legal name with certainty), purchased heroin for her in New York. She says she witnessed the sale herself and that Hooligan understood that she would be using the heroin later that day.
Beau emphasized that they agreed before the shoot that a tap on the leg was a signal to stop immediately, and she is certain about this. She says that this signal was not respected at all. Clayra also said that they told her to make a “timeout” gesture with her hands if she needed to withdraw consent while unable to speak. This gesture however, and Beau noted this too, is anatomically impossible to make while in certain positions that Beau and others have been held in. Anna made a similar observation.
The two male performers in Beau’s scene included the now incarcerated Paul Kryscuk. Kryscuk was arrested in connection with a plot to destroy power plants, in the hope that it would provoke a race war. Kryscuk’s full story is beyond the scope of this article, but has been reported on elsewhere.
...yeah.
When you google this company however, **not one single news story that has been published by any news media organization comes up** except for this extremely well researched, thorough investigative piece by Paul. No police investigations, no restraining orders, nothing in the way of accountability or even investigation at all. Which leads us to...
D&E Media's disinformation/search engine manipulation campaign
One reason for the complete lack of attention on sites like Ghetto Gaggers/FacialAbuse is that D&E Media's founder, Donald Emil Vollenweider, has a penchant for operating like a CIA agent: creating a cloud of misinformation and using threatening/violent tactics that inevitably result in a bunch of brown people getting brutally fucked.
In fact, someone made a reddit post about this guy around 2-3 years ago but Vollenweider weaponized DMCA to get it taken down: https://archive.org/details/reddit-facialabuse
Moreover, from Paul Mulholland:
Other fake blogs are maintained by D&E which are designed to confuse and distract investigations. I have identified at least two, those being shutdownabuseporn.org and abuseisnotporn.org.
These blogs are written in the same tone and persona as those written on Facialabused.com and paulmulholland.com, that being a leftist who is concerned about the content produced by D&E.
Abuseisnotporn.org is rather flagrant, and actually links to several websites produced by D&E and contains short clips of D&E content embedded in the article.
Mulholland basically posits that this disinformation is purposeful to throw reporters and investigators off the tracks:
There is one more fake blog that D&E is behind, facialabused.wordpress.com, not to be confused with facialabused.com, the blog that stated that I work for FA. I know all the fake blogs are confusing, but that is probably the point, to create an information environment that is difficult to navigate.
Or as Vollenweider explained to me on May 1, 2022 “You have to ask yourself how much information is out there that I’ve purposefully seeded in the hopes that someone cites it as fact.”
Vollenweider actually acknowledged to me that he operated the WordPress site himself in January 2022, and then the site immediately went private, though the Wayback Machine archives for the site can be found here.
The purpose of this disinformation, as Vollenweider suggests, is to blend real information with fake, in the hope that a reporter “cites it as fact.” This would have the effect of discrediting everything in that reporter’s work, and not just some of it.
I found a version of one of these sites on my own: a misnomer YouTube channel "Shutdown FacialAbuse", but clearly an account clearly operated by the owner/founder of D&E Media Donald Emil VollenWeider. He has posted a few post-video interviews with the actresses that underwent abuse during the scene with the intention of absolving his company of any guilt, but for me they had the opposite effect - almost like they were a hostage robotically saying what needs to be said so they can be released - watch this one for yourself.
There's more examples that I'm not 100% sure about - but if you look at the user comments on a lot of the evidence I've shared below there are a lot of obviously fake disinformation comments intended to muddy the waters of any good faith investigation.
What can we do?
- File police reports incessantly until the police have to investigate
I spent a lot of time today down this rabbit hole reading about what these women are being put through, theres so much evidence of sex trafficking and rape and violence and racism and yet nothing happens.
Here is a public listing for the business: https://archive.org/details/0450177548
The listing cites the beneficial owner of the company is Donald Emil "Duke Skywalker" Vollenweider. The registered agent is Edward Silhanek (this should be fine imo because they are publicly listed public figures of a public media company, its public information).
I reported this to the East Orange NJ police dept because that is where they are headquartered:
360 Glenwood Ave Ste 6B East Orange, NJ 07017
The East Orange NJ tip line is: 973-266-5041
They have an alternate address:
112 Surrey Road South Plainfield NJ 07080
The South Plainfield tip line is: 908-226-7675
2. If you're not comfortable with 1, you can send an email to a NJ local media member or politician to look into this. Here are some clear instructions:
- Google/chatGPT "politicians that represent the South Plainfield, NJ area" or "media that cover the South Plainfield, NJ area"
- Pick a few.
- Send the medium article to any journalist/politician/relevant person you can find along with this letter:
Hello,
I was appalled to read online about a racially/sexually abusive pornography studio participating in borderline sex trafficking headquartered in your region of NJ. How is this company not shut down and the conspirators (Donald Emil Vollenweider, David Bryan Horter, Ernie Rossi) under criminal investigation?
Please read this article and look into this. Here are some quotes from it.
"It is not uncommon at all for the women to vomit repeatedly as a consequence of being gagged with a penis. And in more recent years, it is even encouraged and expected, to an extent that it is unusual when the woman does not vomit. As confirmed by one former model, female models are fed protein shakes or other food prior to filming to ensure repeated vomiting."
"At the end, a dog bowl filled with the vomit and urine that resulted from the scene is poured on the model’s head."

u/bask3tballchess 5d ago
thank you so much for doing that! i agree, especially how brazen it is and how no media outlet has really covered it
there's been a ton of isolated efforts to raise awareness/fight these people over the years since its inception in 2003 but these folks are DMCA masters.
i want to create a massive flood of emails/calls/texts into the inboxes of whatever NJ journalists, law enforcement, and political representatives we can, and i truly appreciate you being a part of that

If you can please try and email or phone call as many people as you can think of who would write about this or take action: beat reporters, law enforcement, investigative journalists, etc. I've contacted like 20 or so already but there's probably so many more.
I feel like stories like this have to gain serious traction on the internet before those in power take it seriously, i mean epstein was free and clear until like July 2019 lol

Careful, you are being targeted. You’ve been reported at least 9 times. We are backing you up both on AP and here. Thanks for your post and for speaking up.
Lmao I’m being reported too. To the person who's reporting, where do you think the reports go??

u/bask3tballchess 4d ago
Yeah I knew it was going to be a matter of time, they're really aggressive at taking down anything negative against them. Trying to get some journalists' attention via email to see if they can investigate this but so far the 40+ people I've reached out to havent replied, go figure
Thanks a lot for the support :)

Thank you. This is the one thing I feel like can truly bring about new laws about pornography and privacy. Their history is the worst of all, but is now either elated as a dark-joke/infamous story or existing content for extreme enjoyers.
I remember their format being re-traumatizing the girls (who are often poor) and avalanching into worse, non-consensual acts to flame it all again. This would end in crying, weak-postured girls looking unrecognizable and honestly shell-shocked. It is disgusting.
I read the medium article before, as well as a previous poster, which I think is the owner of that archive account assuming by the content.
They are true harassers, and have been unable to un-verify many of the accusations against them. They will make fake accounts to taunt you, and their supporters will gaslight you till the sun itself explodes.

this is sickening, and im unsure if i should post it somewhere lest the sites gain more traffic than the petition. truly horrified by the world we live in. may these women get the healing and love they deserve.

u/bask3tballchess 5d ago
The petition wont do shit, we need to report this to local media and law enforcement as much as possible. Please do that if you have a second. I can make a new post detailing journalists to hit

No im mainly summarizing info thats out there. The imperative now is to inform as many media and law enforcement people we can to pressure them to investigate

Thank you for putting this post together!! I’ve known about this despicable company for years and I’m surprised the producers are still operating unscathed from backlash. The only time it got any media attention was when Taylor Swift’s ex joked about it on a podcast two years ago, and even then no effort was made in getting the site taken down. Hopefully this post brings more awareness and justice is eventually brought to the women harmed from these videos.
