Both sites offered paid subscriptions and featured videos of young adult women appearing in their first pornographic video. The websites generated millions of dollars in revenue and the videos were viewed millions of times. The lawsuit alleges Aylo continued to do business with GirlsDoPorn amid another lawsuit filed in San Diego by 22 women, who alleged they were coerced to film pornographic videos or led to believe their videos would only be distributed on DVDs to private owners, rather than proliferated online.

• The ads did not mention that the shoots would involve sex or even nudity.
• “Some were not permitted to leave the shooting locations until the videos were made. Some were forced to perform certain sex acts they had declined to do, or they would not be paid or allowed to leave.”
• Jane Doe 15 said she was 18-years-old and attending college in 2016 when she found an ad on Craigslist for a modeling gig.
• The domain has been down for about a week, according to platforms which track whether websites are working.
• Co-defendants Valorie Moser, who worked for GirlsDoPorn as a bookkeeper, and Theodore Wilfred Gyi, a cameraman, have also pleaded guilty and await sentencing.
• “This is an extremely important ruling that returns power to the victims by giving them control of the images and videos that caused them so much pain and suffering,” said Southern California district acting US attorney Randy Grossman.

Raised in Tucson, Ariz., she began her career at Phoenix’s two daily newspapers after graduating from Arizona State University with a degree in journalism. Pratt, a New Zealand citizen, went missing during the civil trial and is believed to have fled the country. The FBI is offering a reward of up to $50,000 for information that leads to his arrest. The original lawsuit against MindGeek was filed in December last year, on behalf of 40 women plaintiffs. “We are committed to remaining at the forefront of internet safety, and taking every measure to prevent bad actors from posting illegal content online.” Girls Do Porn was a part of MindGeek’s partner programmes until October 2019, when the US Department of Justice effectively shut the porn producer down by arresting and charging its senior staff with sex trafficking and other offences.

A Woman Who Helped Lure Models to ‘Girls Do Porn’ Pleads Guilty

What happened in that room completely upended Jane’s life since—it’s followed her throughout school, to her first jobs out of college, through every success she’s ever earned, and in every relationship she’s ever been in. She is one of 22 women who sued fraudulent porn production company Girls Do Porn and won millions of dollars in a civil trial in 2020, and whose testimonies led to an FBI indictment of the owners and operators of the site. “Jonathan’s” real name is Ruben Andre Garcia, who pled guilty to federal sex trafficking charges in December.

To promote the websites, video content from both sites was posted on free porn sites such as Pornhub.com, one of the world’s most visited websites. The snippets of videos from GDP and GDT posted on Pornhub.com were often viewed millions of times, according to Pornhub’s view counters. Before the video shoots, Garcia offered victims marijuana or alcohol and some drank or smoked with Garcia before filming. When some victims changed their minds about going forward or finishing the video shoots, Garcia and other co-conspirators threatened to sue them, cancel their flights home, or post the footage that was already filmed online, which, unbeknownst to the victims, was going to happen anyway.

• SAN DIEGO – Ernesto Saldivar, a civilian contractor at General Dynamics NASSCO who was employed as part of the shipyard’s modernization efforts, was sentenced in federal court today to 18…
• Garcia and Gyi rushed Jane through the paperwork, and she said they repeatedly reassured her that nothing shot there that day would make it back to her friends and family.
• Not many lives reflect these successive eras of modern porn and our attitudes toward them more revealingly than that of Candice Vadala, better known as Candida Royalle, an adult-movie actress turned feminist-porn pioneer.

That turned out to be a lie, as their videos wound up on GirlsDoPorn, a website with plenty of American viewers. In response to this, the judge issued an injunction that required Pratt and Wolfe and Garcia to clearly disclose to any models they contracted, at least five days before the shoot, that the videos they shot would be placed on free and public pornography websites. Garcia and his co-defendants lied to victims by claiming the videos would only be distributed to private customers living outside of the country rather than proliferated online, despite always intending to post the videos on the internet, according to the U.S. A porn actor and producer who recruited young women under false pretenses to appear in videos for San Diego-based website GirlsDoPorn.com was sentenced Monday to 20 years in custody in connection with his pleas to federal sex-trafficking and conspiracy charges.

Mike Pratt and Matt Wolfe were childhood best friends in Christchurch. Last month, a judge awarded US$12.75 million in damages to the women. Prosecutors will argue Thursday, when Pratt is due back in court for a bail hearing, that he is both a flight risk and a danger to the community. “For a long time, I thought that I just made a stupid decision,” Mariah said Tuesday. “I did not realize that I was sex trafficked.” Most jobs have some unpleasantness of course—and blue collar jobs have more unpleasantness than most.

Viewers shared the link to the video on the Yelp page for her mother’s hair salon, her ex-boyfriend’s fraternity played it during a chapter meeting, and she dropped out of school because she was too scared to go to class. On Oct. 10, the operators of popular pornography website Girls Do Porn were charged with trafficking and conspiracy in a federal criminal complaint. But The Appeal has learned that three women who say they were victimized by the men behind the site filed police reports as far back as 2015. According to records obtained by The Appeal, it appears that police never followed up. In one case, a complaint by a woman who alleged that she was raped by a man who worked for Girls Do Porn was closed the day it was filed. Some of the victims say they were sexually assaulted and physically prevented by the defendants from leaving the San Diego hotel rooms and short-term rentals where the videos were filmed.

Since 2016, Charles DeBarber, director of operations at technology firm Phoenix AI, has been undertaking the arduous task of discovering and trying to remove content from GirlsDoPorn that has been posted online. As part of Phoenix AI, this work—including building tools to automate online searches and using face recognition—has helped to remove around 60 GirlsDoPorn survivors’ footage from the web, DeBarber says. These women were recruited via Craigslist modeling ads and then directed to fill out contact forms on benign-sounding websites like BeginModeling.com and CaliforniaModeling.com. They were then contacted by Garcia, who revealed applicants were actually being recruited to film a 30-minute porn video that they would be paid several thousand dollars to film. Recently, the news media engaged in collective hand-wringing when a survey showed that three-quarters of U.S. teens said they’d viewed online pornography. The report disturbed many parents, school administrators, youth advocates, and religious leaders, who assume that exposure to porn must harm teens.

There’s been scant research on porn viewing to satisfy sexual curiosity, but studies of adolescent girls suggest that once porn has answered their questions, few return to it frequently, if at all. Consequently, it’s highly unlikely that female sexual curiosity accounts for more than one-quarter of the porn audience. Michael Pratt remains a fugitive on the FBI’s most-wanted list for both sex-trafficking and the production of child pornography. US attorneys alleged some of the women were “forced to perform certain sex acts they had declined to do, or they would not be paid or allowed to leave”. Others detailed how they had lost jobs, been evicted, and were estranged from friends and family. Those who joined the civil lawsuit in 2016 saw new waves of attacks.
