Russian adult star avoids jail in Putin’s war against her work but gets internet ban

Sofya Vershinina, narrowly avoided a stint behind bars but instead was hit with a $60,000 fine and slapped with a three year internet ban during Putin’s war against her work

An adult star from Russia has avoided going to prison as Russian dictator Mad Vlad continues his war on porn.

Sofya Vershinina, narrowly avoided a stint behind bars but instead was hit with a $60,000 fine and slapped with a three year internet ban. The 21-year-old was convicted of producing and distributing sexually explicit online videos in court in Moscow, Russia, as Putin continued his crackdown on anti-traditional values and his war on porn. The ruling means she now has to stop her online business on the adult content site.

Vershinina, who also goes by the name Sonya Marmeladova – reportedly earned over $400,000 during her time selling explicit and promiscuous content, according to Russian prosecutors.

She would sell intimate sexually-charged content on the Telegram messenger and Only Fans apps while living in a luxe skyscraper penthouse in the Russian capital of Moscow.

The Kremlin launched an investigation into her way of earning money in the process seized her collection of sex toys and accessories.

Now the case is over, prosecutors say they will now return the items to her.

Vershinina is just one of many Russian models that have been charged by the Kremlin after Putin ordered a nationwide crackdown on the state’s illegal porn industry.

Another OnlyFans model, 27-year-old Diana Shurygina, is currently behind bars awaiting trial while X-rated content creator Anastasia Ovsyannikova, 24, who is known by the stage name “Nastya Kholod,” was also detained on suspicion of illegal production and circulation of pornographic content.
