The Guy Behind the GirlsDoPorn Site Is Now on the FBI’s Most Wanted List

In several cases, the women filmed for GirlsDoPorn would be propositioned outside of the video shoot. Andre Garcia, who reportedly sexually assaulted several women before, during, or after the film shoot, would often text them and ask to have sex outside of the shoot. Website owner Michael Pratt would also ask women to have sex with him for generally small sums of money – $400 or so – but was rejected almost every single time. Many of the women were filmed as soon as they were picked up at the airport, with cameras being on them from the moment they arrived until they left. But when traveling through the hotels – where the video shoots always took place – the production crew would attempt to hide the fact that they were filming. It would later be learned that they didn’t have any of the necessary permits to film adult content, and often smuggled the film and sound equipment to the hotel room in suitcases and other large luggage containers.

Attorneys Involved in the Case

Around a month after filming, the victims learned the true nature of the defendants’ business when the videos were not only released on their subscription site girlsdoporn.com, but also prominently published on popular free tube sites like Pornhub.com. The defendants and “fans” of GirlsDoPorn also sent the videos to victims’ friends, family, classmates, and colleagues, and posted the victims’ names and contact information with the videos. As a result of this wide exposure, the victims were harassed and shamed, forced to leave jobs or school, and ostracized or even disowned by family and friends. The victims suffered immense emotional distress and economic harm, and their lives were derailed for years. This scandal would be the website’s first foray into the headlines, but far from the last, with the owners and producers making international news just a few years later when it was revealed that this wasn’t just a porn website run by a couple of perverted guys from New Zealand… But was an international criminal conspiracy, full of several people willing to carry out a litany of crimes – including sexual trafficking, conspiracy, and the production of child pornography – in order to illegally profit off of hundreds of young women.

Forced sexual initiation (FSI) has been reported to be 5–46% among women in low- and middle-income countries of Africa [12]. The owners and operators of GirlsDoPorn knew the type of women they wanted to appear in their amateur porn videos—college-age millennials—would not agree to casually participate in the porn industry. After all, these women grew up in the Internet age, where amateur porn has been rampantly available for years.

• “There was a grade level A, B, and C, pretty much on the scale of attractiveness of the woman. Pretty much I would get paid more for an A-level girl than a C-level girl.”
• Screens and interactive media form an important part of teens’ and young adults’ social lives, education, and entertainment choices with teens and young adults engaged in a constant and often simultaneous interaction with the online world alongside their “real life” world.
• After the victims returned home, still believing that they would remain anonymous, Pratt and his co-defendants posted clips of the videos on heavily trafficked adult film sites, like Pornhub, to funnel traffic to the full-length versions of the videos on his website, GirlsDoPorn.

Now, after a years-long legal battle, a California judge on Thursday not only ordered Girls Do Porn to pay the 22 women $12.7 million in damages, but took a rare — and potentially game-changing — step of granting them ownership rights to the content. Website owners Michael James Pratt, 36, and Matthew Isaac Wolfe, 37, and porn actor Ruben Andre Garcia, 31, were sued by 22 women who claimed they were deceived and coerced into making explicit sex films without knowing the images would be posted on the internet. Nearly two dozen women won $12.7 million in a fraud lawsuit against the owners and operators of a San Diego-based pornographic website, GirlsDoPorn, a Superior Court judge ruled Thursday. The owner of a pornographic site who federal authorities consider the “mastermind” behind a commercial sex trafficking ring was recently extradited from Spain to appear in court nearly five years after felony charges were filed against him in San Diego. The Las Vegas-based trustee in that case said Monday that the attorneys have since settled the suit against them for more than $400,000 each.

The warning message and chatbot were deployed by Pornhub as part of a trial program, conducted with two UK-based child protection organizations, to find out whether people could be nudged away from looking for illegal material with small interventions. A new report analyzing the test, shared exclusively with WIRED, says the pop-ups led to a decrease in the number of searches for child sexual abuse material (CSAM) and saw scores of people seek support for their behavior. Most content shared through social media has the potential to reach a large audience, regardless of privacy settings.
