Dani Pinter, Esq.

Dani Pinter, Esq. serves as Senior Legal Counsel for NCOSE and its Law Center. In this role, Dani serves as a voice for human dignity in precedent-setting legal cases on behalf of victims of sexual abuse and exploitation. She also drafts and consults on state and federal legislation to support victims of sexual exploitation and hold exploiters accountable. Dani speaks regularly on a variety of exploitation topics, with a special focus on protecting youth in a digital age and legal remedies for survivors of exploitation and abuse.

Dani Pinter originally joined the NCOSE Law Center at its inception in August of 2015. Dani was instrumental in reinvigorating the law center and traveled the country building relationships and raising awareness. Notably, she drafted the first piece of legislation recognizing the public health impacts of pornography. This innovative piece of legislation has since been adopted in more than a dozen states. Dani specializes in brief writing and oral advocacy; particularly on issues related to the Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA) and the Communications Decency Act (CDA) Section 230. In this regard, together with her team and co-counsel, Dani successfully argued that internet pornography giant MindGeek, parent company of Pornhub, should not qualify for immunity under CDA Section 230, and that the minor sex trafficking survivors in her case had sufficiently pled their claims under the TVPA. The resultant Order and Opinion from the Northern District of Alabama was a breakthrough case setting precedent for victims to bring cases against websites that knowingly profit from their abuse.

Dani has always had a passion for human rights issues especially those affecting women and children. This passion is what led her to Regent University School of Law. Upon acceptance, Dani received the Wilberforce Award, a full academic scholarship for those with human rights interests. While at Regent, Dani was in the Honors Program, a member of the Moot Court Board, the Journal of Global Justice and Public Policy, and the Student Bar Association. During her studies Dani interned with the American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) and the Florida Attorney General’s Office of Statewide Prosecution.

Prior to law school Dani worked as a government relations intern for multiple DC policy organizations and graduated from the University of Central Florida with dual degrees in Psychology and Marketing.
