A Burlington County man is suing the company that owns Pornhub after his picture was used in an advertisement on the pornography website.

Edward Kelly, of Evesham Township's Marlton section, is suing the company, Mindgeek USA Inc, in federal civil court in Camden.

According to court documents, a friend spotted a photo of Kelly next to an ad with the words: "Make $752/day Like Me" and "see how I get it." In the picture, Kelly dons a Pittsburgh Pirates hat and fans out several hundred-dollar bills he's holding.

Kelly, who owns the copyright to the picture since he took it, did not consent to it being used or disseminated, the suit says. (Since the photo is now an exhibit in the case, it is a public record.)

He seeks $1 million in damages, saying the image negatively impacted his reputation and caused him emotional harm.

David Gordon, the Manhattan attorney representing Pornhub, declined to comment.
