Pratt is accused of recruiting the victims from throughout the United States and Canada using internet advertisements for clothed modeling jobs. Finally, in March this year, the alleged GirlsDoPorn mastermind, Michael Pratt, was extradited from Spain to the US to face charges linked to the operation. In total, those involved in GirlsDoPorn have been ordered to pay more than $35 million in restitution. In a four-month trial, anonymous women testified that GirlsDoPorn flew them to San Diego hotels for “modeling” gigs. After they arrived, they said, the group gave them drugs and alcohol and hurried them to sign opaquely-worded contracts without telling them the name of their site, promising them that their videos would only be distributed on DVDs to private clients in New Zealand and Australia. Within weeks, clips appeared on the GirlsDoPorn homepage and sites like PornHub, and they were doxxed.
GirlsDoPorn Videographer Draws Federal Prison Sentence
The New Zealand native is charged in a 19-count indictment for allegedly running the now-defunct website. Charges against him include sex trafficking, production of child pornography, sex trafficking of a minor, and conspiracy to launder monetary instruments. Once the women discovered their videos were posted online, the website owners ignored requests to take the videos down and cut contact with the women altogether, Enright ruled. The women also alleged GirlsDoPorn’s owners shared links to their videos with people within the victims’ social circles in order to drive up website traffic. Last November, Michael Pratt was charged with production of child pornography, with investigators unearthing evidence that he had solicited a girl as young as sixteen to film a pornographic film in 2012.
Pornhub is awash in lawsuits by hundreds who say they never consented to the videos uploaded on the site
In January, a California judge ordered GirlsDoPorn’s operators to pay nearly $13 million to 22 women who were tricked and coerced into shooting pornographic videos. Once the videos were posted online many victims contacted Garcia and his co-conspirators seeking to get their videos taken off the websites. As a part of the conspiracy, Garcia and others would at times coerce victims into completing the videos once they were underway. Garcia and other co-conspirators threatened to sue the victims, cancel flights home, and post the videos online, if the victims did not complete the sex videos. Hotel room doors were at times blocked by camera and recording equipment, and the victims felt powerless and unable to leave.

However, as this lawsuit continued to fall into place within the court system, it became apparent that the labyrinth of production companies and shell corporations established by Michael Pratt had become a minefield for his opponents’ lawyers. A look into the finances of GirlsDoPorn showed that they had once been owned by a parent company called GT Group Ltd., which was a corporation listed in the Panama Papers as a tax haven for several illicit organizations. This group had laundered hundreds of billions of dollars for entities such as the Sinaloa Cartel and Ukrainian gun runners and was also linked to Iranian arms dealers, U.S. lottery scammers, and Russian tax evaders – a who’s who of terrible people on a global scale.
- District Judge Janis Sammartino told Wolfe, “You played an essential role in a sex trafficking conspiracy” and noted his knowledge that false representations were being made to the women.
- However, when questioned about the specifics of the lawsuit – such as whether these women were being told that the footage they were filming was only going to be distributed on DVDs in foreign nations – Wolfe decided to play stupid.
- One woman stood before Garcia with sutures on her wrist from a recent attempt to end her life, flashing it to the judge as she spoke.
- The victims said they suffered relentless torment after online trolls figured out their names and posted that and other private information online.
- 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.
“Michael James Pratt is a danger to society, regardless of where he is, and is likely still victimizing people while on the run with his continued lies and false promises.” — Jane Doe was repeatedly raped, she said, by a man she came to realize was a pornography performer for the now-infamous GirlsDoPorn, a channel that, prior to being removed from the site, was one of the most prolific pages on Pornhub, the world’s largest pornography platform. Defense attorneys argued that Wolfe, Pratt and Garcia did not personally harass any of the women and were not responsible for “internet trolls” who did so.
“Out of respect for the integrity of court proceedings, our policy is not to comment on ongoing litigation,” said Ethical Capital Partner’s spokeswoman, Bain. In a nod to the scope of this litigation tsunami, a federal judge in California used the phrase “tens of thousands of children” in a November order granting class certification to one of at least two class-action trafficking suits against Pornhub and MindGeek, which rebranded last year as Aylo. A 15-year-old Florida girl who went missing for a year was found when a Pornhub user reached out to the girl’s mother.
Enright ruled the defendants pressured the women to sign documents replete with “broad, vague releases couched in disorganized, complicated legalese,” which obscured the victims’ concerns over potential online dissemination. Most recently, she said, she reported to state authorities the Pornhub video showing a woman shouting in pain and asking not to be filmed. Mickelwait said that she has reported many hundreds of videos to law enforcement and anti-trafficking watchdogs.
The women won a total of $9.45 million in compensatory damages, $3.3 million in punitive damages, and copyrights to their videos. Pratt has fled the country and has been charged with additional counts of producing child pornography and child sex trafficking for coercing a 16-year-old into producing a video despite full knowledge of her age. The civil case was interrupted at one point when Pratt, Wolfe, Garcia, company administrative assistant Valerie Moser and alleged accomplice Amberlyn Nored were charged in federal court with sex trafficking by force, fraud and coercion. Pratt, a New Zealand resident who disappeared after being indicted, also is charged with producing child pornography in 2012 involving a girl who was then 16.
