    WordPress.org does not providing hosting for sites, it provides the software for other people to use their own sites on their own hosts. WordPress’s philosophy and bill of rights permit people to use WordPress software for any reason they want, without any enforcement over legality or illegality. We leave that up to the webhosts. In cases of theft, abuse, harassment, or other such behavior, your best recourse is to contact their web host directly. You can use WHOIS to determine where they’re hosted, as well as resources like http://www.whoishostingthis.com to find relevant information.

    Have you contacted the hosting providers? We can help with WordPress issues because WordPress is software, but we cannot help with the content someone has chosen for their website. The hosting providers can be found using a tool like this: http://www.whoishostingthis.com/
