North Carolina Consent Law: What Models Need to Know
At Stripchat, we keep track of legal changes to help our models work safely and stay compliant. A new law in North Carolina, House Bill 805 (HB 805), also known as the Prevent Sexual Exploitation of Women and Minors Act, introduces new requirements for adult content creators.
We cover everything you need to know: what the law requires, how Stripchat's new consent feature works, and why we remain committed to being the safest and most legally supportive platform for American models.
What’s Changed?
For models in North Carolina, HB 805 introduces new rules for posting content.
Now, for every piece of content, models must give clear, documented consent for each photo or video. This means a one-time consent is no longer enough. Each post now requires its own signed consent.
The goal of this law is to better protect creators, but it also adds extra steps and makes publishing content more complicated.
Stripchat’s Solution: Consent for Every Post
To help our North Carolina models meet these new requirements easily and without disruption, we’ve introduced a dedicated consent feature. A solution currently unmatched in the industry.
With this feature, models can:
- Provide individual consent for each piece of content directly on the platform
- Ensure full compliance with North Carolina law
- Continue working without needing external tools or complicated processes
This feature was designed specifically to reduce friction while maintaining strict legal standards, allowing models to focus on what matters most: their work.
How it works:
— Log in to your Stripchat account.
— When you upload new content, we’ll ask if it’s 18+. If it is, you’ll just need to fill out a quick consent form during upload. If not, you can post as usual. All content is still reviewed as part of our moderation process.
— If you have any questions about the consent process or how HB 805 applies to your situation, contact our support team, we are here to help.
Supporting Models Across the US
Stripchat has always prioritized the safety, rights, and stability of our models. This new feature reflects our ongoing commitment to helping creators navigate changing legal requirements, offering proactive solutions, and maintaining a secure and compliant platform.
While many platforms have yet to respond to these new regulations, we believe that true support means staying ahead and making compliance easier for our models.
If you are a model in North Carolina, you can start using this feature today. And if you are considering joining Stripchat, you can expect an environment where your work is supported, protected, and respected.
