Former NFL player Mike McFarland, has been accused by a former romantic partner of putting their sex tapes on the website OnlyFans. The former Indianapolis Colts tight end and allegedly uploaded the explicit footage twice —allegedly unbeknownst to his ex-girlfriend Amanda Dicrosta.
According to a new report from Reuters examining an uptick in revenge porn on the site, Dicrosta, who resides in Florida, stated that she heard rumors from family and friends that she was seen in explicit content. However, authorities told Dicrosta that prosecution was not an option because they couldn’t identify her in the videos (her face could not be seen).
She filed a sexual cyber harassment complaint against McFarland to the Tampa Police Department back in 2022. The pair were together for around a year but ultimately broke up. Dicrosta told law enforcement that McFarland posted the sex videos on his Twitter and OnlyFans accounts without her knowing.
She claimed she first learned about the videos being posted online in 2020, but after she confronted McFarland, he took them down. However, when she visited his OnlyFans page a year later, she saw the old clips as well as new ones. Dicrosta said the videos were being advertised for five dollars each.
However, McFarland told the police that Dicrosta knew that he would post the videos to OnlyFans and Twitter. “It was with her consent,” he explained to Reuters. “I have nothing to lie about.”
Dicrosta said she feels discouraged, since in order for McFarland to be prosecuted the images he shared must contain “personal identification information” from Dicrostra such as unique physical attributes.
“I felt hopeless,” she stated.
“Do I just need to strip naked and show you my naked body for you to believe me? What am I supposed to do? How am I supposed to prove to you that this is me?”
A Reuters investigation revealed that more than 120 people have complained to U.S. police agencies about being featured in sexually explicit videos posted to OnlyFans without their consent.
