U.K. regulator Ofcom has fined adult site operator Youngtek Solutions a total of 600,000 pounds, or more than $800,000, after determining the company failed to meet age-verification and information request requirements under the Online Safety Act.
In a statement released Wednesday, Ofcom said Youngtek did not comply with its Online Safety Act age-verification obligations from July 25, 2025, through Sept. 22, 2025.
The regulator launched its investigation in September 2025 in connection with several sites operated by Youngtek. A provisional ruling in the matter was issued in February.
Ofcom has now confirmed that ruling, issuing a 500,000-pound penalty for failing to implement age checks and another 100,000 pounds for “ignoring legally binding information requests.” The enforcement action covers the sites empflix.com, imagefap.com, moviefap.com and TNAflix.com.
According to the statement, the company has since added age-assurance measures across all of the sites involved in the investigation.
“We will continue to monitor these sites to ensure that their age checking methods are highly effective at preventing children from accessing pornographic content,” the statement reads.
The regulator also stated that it can pursue recovery action if penalties are not paid.
“Where appropriate, we can also seek a court order for ‘business disruption measures,’ such as requiring payment providers or advertisers to withdraw their services from a platform, or requiring Internet Service Providers to block a site in the U.K.,” the statement reads.
