A New York “foot fetish” website is now at the center of a federal sex‑trafficking case that shows how easily online “opportunities” can be twisted to prey on women.
Story Snapshot
- Federal prosecutors say FootPadNYC.com’s owner lured women with fake foot‑model jobs, then raped and sexually assaulted them in hotel rooms.[1][3][4]
- A three‑count sex‑trafficking indictment in Manhattan federal court carries mandatory minimums of 15 years and up to life in prison on each count.[1][5]
- Investigators say the site promised women they could “get paid to have your feet worshipped” to draw them into dangerous meetings.[1][3][4]
- The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is calling for more potential victims to come forward, warning this pattern may extend beyond the three known cases.[2][3][6]
Federal Case Targets Foot Fetish Website Owner Over Alleged Sex Trafficking
Federal prosecutors in the Southern District of New York say 47‑year‑old Jason Khan ran a foot fetish website, FootPadNYC.com, and used it to find women looking for modeling work.[1][3][4] According to the indictment, Khan, who split his time between New York City and Albany, allegedly promised paid “foot model” opportunities to lure women to Manhattan hotel rooms, where he then raped or sexually assaulted them.[1][3][4] He now faces three federal sex‑trafficking counts tied to those alleged attacks.[1][3][5]
The official indictment says Khan operated FootPadNYC.com between at least 2019 and 2021, using the site’s “Employment” section to recruit “aspiring foot models.”[1][3][4] Prosecutors say the page promised women they could “get paid to have your feet worshipped,” framing the encounters as easy money rather than high‑risk meetings with a stranger.[1][3][4] Investigators claim he and others working with him then scheduled in‑person “interviews” in Manhattan hotel rooms, turning a supposed job offer into a trap.[1][3][4]
Alleged “Interview” Playbook: From Job Pitch To Hotel‑Room Assault
According to federal court filings, prosecutors say Khan used the same pattern at least three times, with three different women.[1][3][4] Each woman allegedly came to a hotel believing she was there for an interview or audition as a foot model.[1][3][4] Once they arrived, prosecutors say he violently shifted from talk of work to sexual acts, ignoring the women’s lack of consent.[1][3] Two women say he raped them vaginally, while a third says he forced her feet onto his exposed penis.[1][3]
Prosecutors say all three women made clear they did not consent, but their protests were ignored.[1] Each reported what happened to law enforcement and others, and two underwent rape kits at a hospital after the attacks.[1] The United States Attorney’s Office quotes U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton as saying Khan “lured his victims in under the lucrative promise of being a foot model, before he repeatedly and violently sexually assaulted and raped them.”[1][3][4] The New York City Police Department (NYPD) commissioner and FBI leadership echo that the case centers on abuse of women’s hopes for honest work.[1][3][4]
Charges, Penalties, And The Push For More Victims To Speak Up
The indictment charges Khan with three counts of sex trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion in Manhattan federal court.[1][3][5] Each count carries a mandatory minimum sentence of 15 years in prison and a maximum of life, meaning a conviction on all three could effectively keep him locked up for the rest of his life.[1][5] Prosecutors say the case targets not consensual adult behavior, but the use of lies and force to trap women into sex acts they clearly rejected.[1][3]

The FBI and federal prosecutors are now asking the public for help. The FBI’s New York office and the United States Attorney’s Office publicly urged anyone who believes they were victimized by Khan, or who has information about his alleged behavior, to contact investigators.[2][3][6] They say the three known victims may not be the only ones, and that other women who answered ads about “getting paid to have your feet worshipped” could have faced similar abuse.[1][2][3][6] Officials stress that the charges are still allegations and that Khan is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.[1]
