In total, the lawsuit demanded more than $40 million in damages—at least $1 million per plaintiff—as well as the money MindGeek earned from hosting and promoting their videos and legal fees. The website still lingers after all this time, and some of the videos have circulated to other porn sites as well, according to earlier reports. Late last year, a federal judge ruled that the hundreds of women coerced into doing videos on Pratt’s sites had the full rights to their videos, allowing them to seek fines up to $150,000 from those who publish their videos without consent. The site’s owner, Michael James Pratt, faces a litany of felony charges, including sex trafficking by force and production of child pornography. He remains at large and was recently placed on the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted Fugitives List. 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.

Apps that allow parental restrictions on a minor child’s phone are common, but Common Sense Media’s recent research found that parental control apps sent the most notifications during school hours, sending a median of almost 30 notifications during the school day! Also, many teens report that their own management techniques, like turning on do not disturb or carefully curating which apps they will get notifications from, was often more helpful than parental restrictions, which some respondents felt like they were more likely to go against than their own tactics. Much of teens’ social connection is happening on smartphones, which have made it increasingly easier to stay connected at all times. A recent report from Common Sense Media found that half of the teen participants were receiving 237 or more notifications a day from messages and apps.

Garcia told these women that the videos would be published only on DVDs and sold overseas. However, the operators of Girls Do Porn posted them for free on websites including Pornhub, causing extreme trauma to the victims. In some cases, these girls were forced to change their communities or even change their names after their families came to know about it.
San Diego porn case: Civil trial against GirlsDoPorn.com website operators begins
On July 7, the women and MindGeek filed a joint motion to suspend proceedings for 30 days so they could discuss a “possible resolution of this action (including potential mediation or other alternative dispute resolution.” The court granted the motion. A court document filed Friday noted that a settlement agreement had been reached and dismissed the claims. Althaus is one of dozens of victims who have brought similar allegations against GirlsDoPorn and websites like Pornhub that promoted the since-closed website’s content, “generated millions of dollars in revenue,” the lawsuit states.
- “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.”
- In some instances, however, Pratt and his assistants allegedly locked women in rooms until the explicit videos were filmed and forced some women to commit sex acts that they initially declined to do, according to the FBI.
- If the women tried to leave, the group would either force the girls to “perform certain sex acts” or threaten them with lawsuits and flight cancelations, the documents continued.
- All three men were involved in recruiting college students to shoot their first porn videos, and by and large they sought out women who were low-income and may have needed money for things like rent, books, and tuition.
- The conspiracy count to which Wolfe pleaded guilty pertains to 15 victims, all adults.
“I worried about what porn stood for, I worried about what it has done to us, is doing to us and will do to us, and I worried that this worry made me a bad feminist,” she writes. She started thinking about how she might embark on a book to investigate how we really use and think about porn. Some of the women allege in court documents that the ensuing shame has driven them to depression, suicidal thoughts, or in at least one case, to move entirely out of the country. “Most consumers in general do not feel comfortable uploading their IDs” when online, noted Mike Stabile, director of public policy for the Free Speech Coalition, an adult entertainment trade association that has joined in fighting the lawsuits.
Millions of images and videos of CSAM are found and removed from the web every year. They are shared on social media, traded in private chats, sold on the dark web, or in some cases uploaded to legal pornography websites. Tech companies and porn companies don’t allow illegal content on their platforms, although they remove it with different levels of effectiveness.
Ultimately, though, the wild success of those viral GirlsDoPorn Internet videos is what led to the site team’s downfall. The Does were eventually able to find one another—and by doing so, they collectively found the strength to come forth and build a successful legal case against GirlsDoPorn. 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.” Victims who consumed alcohol or smoked marijuana were directed to make a recorded statement saying that they were not under the influence of any drugs or alcohol, even though they had just smoked marijuana or drank alcohol. Weeks after they returned home, the videos were released in full on Pratt’s subscription site, and as clips on PornHub and other popular free porn platforms.
Later that night when Evie arrives to the party, she is lured into the bathroom by Matt and Daniel where they begin to sexually assault her. While the internet and social media have made it easy to access porn at no cost, many internet porn sites with subscription services are also available. While the pornographic nature of the work was sometimes discussed beforehand, some women claim they were not informed until after they arrived in San Diego, where the site’s owners filmed scenes at various high-end downtown San Diego hotels. Prosecutors said that Garcia and others sometimes threatened lawsuits, canceled flights home, or to post videos online if women refused to continue with a scene. During Garcia’s sentencing hearing, the judge heard from 20 victims who described horror stories like being allegedly forced into doing sex scenes and having the videos follow them for years. According to prosecutors, he tricked women into appearing in sex videos after promising them they would only be sold in DVD and not be distributed on the internet.
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. “He engages in dangerous and deceptive practices wherever he goes, and we will not waiver until justice is served,” she added, according to Complex. There were times, Jane Doe admitted, she had to be hospitalized because she couldn’t trust herself. She still feels each of her emotions deeply, rattled often by the sting of trauma but is emerging with a hopefulness she hasn’t had over the last six-and-a-half years. 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.
