When the women declined to participate in the shoots because they feared the footage would be uploaded online, the group lied and told them the videos would "only be distributed outside the U.S. on DVD or to supposed private collectors overseas," the documents said. Lured to San Diego by online ads seeking models for photo shoots, nearly two dozen women say they were pressured to sign dense contracts in hotel rooms where they were given drugs and alcohol and pushed into doing porn. A short time later, that footage was posted on GirlsDoPorn.com and other popular websites, where many of the women said viewers found and published their full names online, resulting in severe harassment. Prosecutors say numerous women were lured by the defendants through the promise of modeling jobs, flown to San Diego, then were threatened with lawsuits and canceled return flights home if they backed out of filming pornographic videos. SAN DIEGO (CNS) - A videographer for the now-defunct San Diego-based pornographic website GirlsDoPorn.com was sentenced Wednesday to four years in prison for taking part in a sex-trafficking conspiracy that coerced hundreds of women to appear in online pornographic videos under false pretenses. He allegedly did so by telling the women and girls that they would be paid $3,000 to $5,000 for a one-day pornographic video shoot.

As survivors and data show, some people have been forced, tricked, or coerced into entering the industry in the first place, unable to leave once they’ve started. Not only that, but performers who are already in the industry can be forced, tricked, or coerced into performing sex acts they’re uncomfortable with, or performing with other performers on their “no” list. Still, from now on, Girls Do Porn is required to explicitly state in recruitment postings that the videos will be posted online.
- Garcia and Pratt created Craigslist advertisements, along with fake websites and email addresses consistent with the websites to cause their victims to believe that they were applying to work asclothed models.
- She found young girls are often filled with dread about potentially being targeted, especially as advancements in generative AI render them defenseless.
- When we talk about controlling women’s bodies, abortion typically bookends the conversation.
- The crime was utterly callous in nature and there is no excuse or justification for his conduct, which was driven purely by greed.
- As he had seen done through his work on prior sites, Michael Pratt would feature small previews of the GirlsDoPorn videos on larger platforms - Pornhub, Xvideos, Youporn - which were some of the largest websites in the entire world.

However, copies of the videos that were once uploaded to the sites continue to exist on hard drives around the world, being uploaded to torrent sites and other porn platforms with regularity. Michael Pratt was the original founder of the company, who served as the cameraman for the first few dozen episodes, which he started releasing in 2009. In 2011, he brought in his old friend Matthew Wolfe to begin doing that job - interviewing and filming - while he took on a more "big picture" role in the company (per his admission). Wolfe would bring in Andre Garcia in 2011 to begin filming with the women, but Garcia quickly exceeded his role as an actor very early on, becoming a full-fledged participant in the deceptive scheme, recruiting women on his own to appear in the GirlsDoPorn videos. Wolfe eventually handed off camera duties to other individuals a few years later, and it seems like he, Pratt, and Garcia were all working on recruitment over an extended period of time... You see, since recording that video, Megan had gone on to higher education, and was using a scholarship she had obtained in high school to study journalism.
- If the women ever changed their minds about filming or completing the scenes, the defendants threatened to sue them, cancel their flights home or post footage that had already been filmed online, the U.S.
- This particular scheme preyed on young women looking to get into modeling and/or make quick cash and ultimately turned it into porn encouraging a culture of sexual entitlement.
- The women faced a dark reality – the knowledge that for the rest of their lives, people would use the crime scene footage of their abuse for both pleasure and profit.

Supposedly, the appeal of this content is believing the women would normally never set foot on a porn set, but they are desperate for cash. Pornhub continued to host Girls Do Porn videos even after victims started to come forward and be covered in the press in 2019, and the suit alleged the site still hasn't managed to boot all the videos off its service. "As of December 12, 2020, MindGeek still hosts victims' videos on its websites, including Plaintiffs," it said. It argued that it was an open secret in the porn industry that Girls Do Porn was scamming and coercing girls as soon as it started in 2009.
Porn actor and producer Ruben Andre Garcia was previously sentenced to 20 years in prison, and two others have pleaded guilty and await sentencing next year. Althaus reportedly lost her Miss Teen Colorado runner-up crown after the video surfaced. Wolfe admitted to posting those videos on the U.S. website GirlsDoPorn for public viewing. The complaint further alleges that Pratt took Althaus’ cellphone during the filming and only gave it back to her afterward. The plaintiffs are represented by Brian M. Holm, Joseph S. Green, Nathan G. Batterman of Holm Law Group, P.C. There were times, Jane Doe admitted, she had to be hospitalized because she couldn’t trust herself.
During the course of the civil trial, Pratt, Garcia and Wolfe were criminally indicted for sex trafficking, among other charges. Above all, the young women were promised that their identities would be protected and that the videos and their real names would never be shared online. However, Girls Do Porn distributed the films shortly after shooting, and the videos ended up on hugely popular sites like Pornhub and YouPorn, garnering millions of views apiece. Once flown to San Diego, the women said, they were put in hotel rooms set up for porn films and pressured to sign long, complicated contracts with hardly any time to read them. They were also often threatened to participate and given drugs and alcohol before the shoots, the judge said. A man who helped create a video prosecutors say was intended to harass women who were sex trafficking victims of San Diego-based website GirlsDoPorn.com has been sentenced to just over a year in federal prison.
"The videos went viral amongst every person in the victims’ network, causing them to become pariahs in their own communities. Victims were ridiculed and ostracized by friends, classmates, teachers, professors, principals, clergy members, and family." After the girls agreed, they were flown to San Diego, but instead of modeling gigs, they were told the job was actually to appear in an adult film. The women were reassured that their videos would only be released on DVD to collectors in Australia and New Zealand, not online. Per his own lawyers' admission, Pratt was in New Zealand during the trial, but his parents admit that they haven't seen him in some time.
Half of them said the widespread proliferation of their abuse videos convinced them death was a better option than living in perpetual pain and humiliation. Another woman said, "The fear of being recognized in public never goes away," while another said the continuous messages and threats she receives from anonymous people online are "constant reminders of the worst time in my life." Many said they were pressured into performing sex acts they’d previously refused to do. Some said they were told they would not be allowed to leave, or their flights home would be canceled, if they did not complete filming. SAN DIEGO – Matthew Isaac Wolfe was sentenced in federal court today to 14 years in prison for his role in a conspiracy with Michael Pratt, owner of the website...
After a four-year legal battle, the plaintiffs were vindicated by Judge Enright’s finding in their favor on all claims, and they have been working to put their lives back together while the attorneys seek to recover assets to satisfy the judgment. When the victims arrived in San Diego for their shoots, they were prevented from reading their contracts and coerced into participating through lies, deception, and intimidation. For those of us who care about the injustice of sexual crime and desire to stand in real solidarity with its victims, our activism must include holding to account all individuals and corporations that participate in exploitation.
Child safety advocates celebrated a win in June, when the congressional reauthorization for the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children used the term “child sexual abuse material” (CSAM) instead of “child pornography” to describe the scourge the agency seeks to eradicate. The National Center runs the CyberTipline national reporting service for online exploitation of children. Survivors of image-based sexual abuse — overwhelmingly women and girls — can experience the same kinds of mental health issues as those who have been physically sexually assaulted.
