When 22 women sued independent label Girls Do Porn in June for allegedly manipulating them into performing sex acts for a global audience, it wasn’t enough for giant adult video site Pornhub to stop promoting Girls Do Porn as an official “Content Partner” and profiting from the arrangement. The videos were heavily monetized and globally distributed on Pornhub, the world’s largest and most popular porn site. Pornhub consistently ranks in the top 10 most visited among all the websites in the world, drawing more visitors in April than Instagram, CNN and Walmart. “Personally, I’m happy they found him. But I’m even happier for all of his victims,” Brian Holm, attorney for the victims in the civil trial, told Motherboard. “Bringing Pratt to justice will bring the closure they need to heal. Christmas came a bit early this year.” Pratt and his co-conspirators also promised many of the women that their videos would only be seen by “private collectors” in faraway countries like New Zealand, and that their communities at home would never see their sex scenes.
- Participants must also get copies of the contracts before arriving, and sign off on their names or personal information being used, Enright ruled.
- Each time, they presented a series of fraudulent statements presented by the defendants, over a prolonged period of time, which had led to them accepting an offer to be filmed…
- One woman (Jane Doe #4) would claim that in her 2013 shoot, she suffered an extreme amount of pain during the shoot and asked the two men present (Andre Garcia and Matthew Wolfe) to leave.
- While she struggled with these emotional issues at an earlier age than most – which she described as common symptoms of children in foster care – she attempted to create a normal life for herself.
- Most of the people who ran Girls Do Porn have either been arrested or have pled guilty to federal charges of trafficking by force, fraud and coercion; in 2022, after nearly three years as a wanted fugitive and months on the FBI’s Most Wanted list, co-owner Michael Pratt was arrested in Spain.
- Twenty-two women accused him and his co-conspirators of coercing them into making porn videos and then lying about their distribution, leading to severe harassment and psychological pain.
News Coverage
When they tried to stop the producers told them they would not be paid, and yet when the shoots ended many women said they were not paid the full amount promised. This suit comes as Pornhub is trying to fend off allegations that it profits from illegal content. Following an explosive New York Times column on December 4 that accused the company of hosting rape videos and child pornography, the company changed its policies so that only verified users can upload content, and started deleting millions of unverified videos from its platform. Over the past year, the GirlsDoPorn website – as well as its affiliates, MomPov and GirlsDoToys – have been permanently shuttered. The same goes for all of its fake modeling websites, such as BeginModeling.com, which were used to trick women into thinking they were a legitimate company. The sites were finally taken down in January of this year (2020), following the resolution of the civil case.
Content on other websites
- Buzzfeed News reports that the men still face federal charges of sex trafficking and producing child porn, since some of the exploited individuals were 17 at the time of filming.
- “Tech-facilitated abuse” is an even broader term, which can cover all sorts of exploitations, including abusers using GPS to track their partners.
- He ordered Girls Do Porn’s founder, Michael James Pratt, 36, his business partner, Matthew Isaac Wolfe, 37, and porn actor Ruben Andre Garcia, 31, to hand over all images, videos, likenesses, and copyrights and to take “active steps” to remove them from circulation.
- Videographer Matthew Wolfe, another member of the GirlsDoPorn team, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit sex trafficking as well as fraud, and he’s scheduled to be sentenced next month.
- The sentence is several years longer than the 12 years and seven months in prison that prosecutors suggested.
In 1975, my mother waited until she was away at college to visit Planned Parenthood for the first time so as to avoid running into someone she knew at her small-town’s clinic. In 2006, a girl I went to high school with exaggerated her period cramps so she’d be put on the Pill without her parents knowing she was sleeping with her boyfriend. As part of his plea, Garcia admitted to threatening and deceiving the women, and paying other women to lie to reluctant recruits, falsely asserting that the footage would not be seen in the U.S. but was intended for private DVD collections overseas. Pratt’s attorney didn’t immediately respond to USA TODAY’s message for comment on Wednesday. “These women could now, theoretically, hire someone to search for all this content that they now own the copyright to and issue a [Digital Millennium Copyright Act notice] to get it taken down. I highly suggest they do that.”
Filming process
Pratt, who charged users a GirlsDoPorn subscription fee, made more than $17 million in revenue, according to the records. Pratt is accused of working with four people − Matthew Wolfe, Ruben Garcia, Valorie Moser, and Theodore Gyi − to “recruit young adult women to engage in commercial sex acts by fraud and coercion,” according to court documents. Michael Pratt, the owner of GirlsDoPorn, appeared in a federal court on Tuesday and pleaded not guilty to sex trafficking charges filed in the Southern District of California on Oct. 10, 2019, according to a Justice Department news release.

Young women were selected as references, because Garcia, Pratt and Matthew Wolfe believed the victims were more likely to believe other young women over Garcia or Pratt. The references were paid a fee for each victim they attempted to recruit, with additional compensation for victims who agreed to film a video. Language encourages cultural shift, Buster said, and it’s also important to meet people where they are at. Many survivors search for “revenge porn” instead of “image-based sexual abuse” when they are seeking help, which is why C.
