AN internet porn mogul exploited a schoolgirl into making hardcore videos available online by telling her he ran a string of Only Fans accounts for other women. Stuart McClure made money by arranging for the schoolgirl to post degrading photos and videos of herself which he promoted across social media sites.
The court was not told what he had earned. The court heard matters came to light when someone at her school found her porn videos online and alerted the guidance teacher to what was going on. Her mother and the police were contacted. Fiscal depute Duncan McKenzie said the girl met McClure on the Yubo chat site and clearly told him she was 16 and still attending school. He said he formed a business as he worked with 11 other girls. He asked her if she would consider doing Only Fans.
He said he edited their faces and surroundings. She said she had not considered it and it was not her style. The court heard she tried to impress McClure by telling him she had 4, followers on a fetish app and that she had sent a number of nude pictures to people. She again refused to join Only Fans, but McClure said he would help her if she ever changed her mind. A short time later they met and started a sexual relationship.
Days later, after pointing out she needed to be 18 to be on Only Fans, McClure helped her set up a Snapchat account to sell sexual images to make money.
McClure immediately advised her on how to attract people to the account, but she told him to delay the process until after she had completed her school exams. He set up an Instagram account to promote the girl's material and put images on his account with links, using love hearts to cover her face and hide her identity. He persuaded her to make graphic solo sex videos and to carry out face-to-face video calls with customers who could ask her to act out their sexual fantasies.
