Girls Do Porn Lawsuit Ends With $13 Million Ruling for Plaintiffs

Choose a Girl

If porn spurs teen sexual irresponsibility, then since the late 1990s, when porn exploded on the Internet, teens should have become more sexually active. And there might well have been an increase in teen sexual assaults. Now, sexual conservatives voice strenuous objections to solo sex and excoriate porn because it goes hand-in-hand, as it were, with self-sexing. However, not long ago, society expected non-divorced, non-widowed women to have just one lifetime lover, and many Americans still believe that women should remain virgins until marriage and then limit sex to their husbands. At the core of Royalle’s personal archive were the diaries she had kept almost continuously from the age of twelve. (There were also photos, videos, clippings, costumes, and correspondence.) Kamensky is fascinating on what she calls “the Great American Diary Project,” an endeavor encouraged by teen magazines, therapists, moms, ministers, and books—“Harriet the Spy,” “Are You There God?

Jane Doe 15 says owner and employees repeatedly lied to her about distribution.

  • In addition to granting the rights to the videos and images to the victims, Judge Sammartino ordered Garcia to pay approximately $18 million in restitution to the victims.
  • If you consider porn abhorrent, you’ll probably dismiss this survey as nonsense.
  • “It was eye-opening to me how pervasive and obsessive some of these people are,” said Holm, the victims’ attorney.
  • Prosecutors recommended roughly the same prison term for Garcia, the actor, when he was sentenced in June 2021 after pleading guilty to a sex-trafficking conspiracy.
  • “I don’t think that women want to see waves crashing, fade to black,” she told the audience of “The Phil Donahue Show,” looking stylish and professional, and sounding authoritative.

Three other co-defendants have already pleaded guilty in the case, while the remaining defendant, GirlsDoPorn owner Michael James Pratt, 39, remains a fugitive. Before some of the video shoots, victims were offered alcohol or marijuana. 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. Brewer says he also found “a phone list with victims’ names and Jane Doe numbers” (plaintiffs were referred to as “Jane Doe 1,” “Jane Doe 2,” etc. during the trial) that “memorialized attempts to get information from them over the telephone by posing as a journalist.” One of the allegations of the women against GirlsDoPorn is that the site’s proprietors deliberately leaked their real names in order to drum up interest in their videos. But publishing a video like this would have been a more brazen act of doxing.

  • Kristina Davis is the Public Safety & Courts editor, returning to the team that she first joined when hired as a reporter by The San Diego Union-Tribune in 2006.
  • Wolfe, the fourth defendant to plead guilty in connection with the case, admitted that he moved to the United States in 2011 to work for his friend and co-defendant Michael Pratt, the owner of the GirlsDoPorn website.
  • CourtHouseNews reported that lawyers for GirlsDoPorn declined to comment when approached.
  • “Following the FBI’s takedown of the GirlsDoPorn operators and business and filing of criminal charges, Aylo finally removed GirlsDoPorn’s videos from its websites. But this was too little too late,” the complaint states.
  • The platform that she said brings the worst abuse into her life is Twitter.

She tried to contact Garcia and Gyi; Garcia’s phone number was disconnected, but Gyi answered after several attempts. Since they wouldn’t help, she was on her own, and went “on a rampage,” she said, tracking down instances of her video posted online and reporting it to platforms hosting it as non-consensual porn. The victims’ sex acts were posted on the GDP and GDT websites.

Victims said they were plied with alcohol and marijuana before being rushed through signing a contract, which they were not allowed to read or obtain copies of. Some said they were sexually assaulted and held in the hotel rooms unwillingly until filming had ended. Wolfe admitted in the plea agreement that some of the women were threatened if they asked to stop. At the time, the defendants were embroiled in a lawsuit in San Diego County Superior Court filed by 22 women who were victimized by the conspiracy. The judge in that case ultimately found in favor of the women and handed down a $12.7-million judgment against Pratt, Wolfe and adult performer Ruben Andre Garcia. A woman testified in court on Wednesday to an elaborate scheme hatched by three men who operate a San Diego-based pornography website to get her and 21 other women into appearing in a sex video.

Attorney’s Office Victim Witness Unit for their excellent work on this case. 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. Among them, producer and porn actor Ruben Andre Garcia was sentenced to 20 years in prison, while website operator Matthew Isaac Wolfe pleaded guilty to a conspiracy to commit sex trafficking count and is slated for sentencing in January. 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.

Magistrate Judge Barbara L. Major to Conspiracy to Commit Sex Trafficking by Force, Fraud and Coercion, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1594. Wolfe, the fourth defendant to plead guilty in connection with the case, admitted that he moved to the United States in 2011 to work for his friend and co-defendant Michael Pratt, the owner of the GirlsDoPorn website. Wolfe filmed approximately one hundred videos, he uploaded finished videos onto the internet, he oversaw the company’s financial books, and he operated various business entities that were used to promote the business. Wolfe worked at GirlsDoPorn from 2011 until his arrest in October 2019.

After arriving, she testified that she asked the videographer, the make-up artist, as well as the actor, Andre Garcia, that the videos would never be published online. The FBI has said it believes his alleged victims number in the hundreds. Women cited in the lawsuit were referred to by the pseudonym Jane Doe and a number. They were each seeking more than $1m (£739,000) in damages and had demanded a jury trial.

“This is the one and only time they do porn,” the website proudly boasted. Pratt, who spent years on the lam after being charged in October 2019 and fleeing the U.S., according to prosecutors, was eventually placed on the FBI’s 10 Most Wanted list. The world outside of that hotel room kept moving—until a day in mid-January, during a campus community event Jane helped organize, when she realized she’d lost track of her best friend in the crowd. Influencer Paige Lorenze, who also had a tryst with the “Call Me By Your Name” star, also alleged to Page Six at the time that he used a knife to carve the letter “A” into her skin near her vagina and would allegedly intentionally bruise her as a branding method. “I would never say that Armie did everything right, because he didn’t,” she told the Daily Mail Saturday. It’s funny you say that because I remember when I first spoke to Bette, she’s like, “Are you sure?

How could millennial women, living in an age where porn is almost exclusively viewed online, ever believe their own videos would never be posted on the Internet? To start, it takes a thought-out criminal scheme where the perpetrators were dedicated to leaving no paper trail. But GirlsDoPorn’s successful manipulation was possible because large swaths of society still label women who participate in sex work as cultural pariahs.

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.
