As I detailed a bit at the top of the episode, GirlsDoPorn would gain some national notoriety throughout 2013, when the Miss Teen USA scandal broke for the first time. That scandal would actually be repeated the following year when an additional Miss Teen USA candidate was outed as having appeared in a GirlsDoPorn video; like the prior contestant, she too was stripped of her title and eliminated from all of the Miss Teen USA material (websites, promos, etc.). But these scandals – while damaging for the women involved – only helped the website gain more and more publicity. After roughly two years of slow and sustained success, Michael Pratt decided to recruit his old friend, Matthew Wolfe, to help him work on the site in 2011. Wolfe decided to move to the U.S. and live near Pratt in San Diego, California. While Pratt handled a lot more of the executive decisions, Wolfe became involved in the day-to-day operations of GirlsDoPorn, filming the shoots in high-end hotel rooms in Southern California (in fact, it was Wolfe you heard interviewing the woman at the beginning of this episode).
Investigation found images of abuse
There is no dispute Deyun Shi bludgeoned his teenage relatives in 2016, but his attorneys argue during his trial that he was suffering from mental illness. 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.” District Judge Janis Sammartino, who has sentenced all the other defendants in the GirlsDoPorn case other than website owner Michael James Pratt , whose case remains ongoing. Sonny and Rollins discover her on the set of a movie in New Hampshire where Evie refuses to go back to home or to school. There is nothing the detectives can do except watch as Evie takes quaaludes, washes it down, drops her robe, and steps on to the set where there are over ten naked men waiting for her.
- First, Jane Doe 7 found out the photo shoot was actually a video shoot only when she was picked up at the airport by Matthew Wolfe, a videographer working for the porn website GirlsDoPorn.
- Garcia told these women that the videos would be published only on DVDs and sold overseas.
- “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.
- 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.
‘A Despicable Crime’: FBI Adds GirlsDoPorn Founder to Top 10 Most Wanted List for Alleged Sex Trafficking Scheme
Hundreds of victims of GirlsDoPorn and GirlsDoToy, sex-trafficking rings, have now been given the rights to the videos and millions of dollars in damages. The individuals behind the scheme, according to the DOJ, told the women the videos would only be sold on DVDs outside of the United States and the footage would not be posted to the internet. Instead, they then posted short videoclips to online platforms, such as Pornhub, and full-length versions to their GirlsDoPorn website. As deepfake technology has become increasingly capable of creating realistic imagery and easier to use, hundreds of websites and apps designed to create or host deepfake sexual abuse have appeared.

- The ad explained that young, attractive girls could earn thousands of dollars for modeling work – which would last an hour or two at the most – and featured a link to the website beginmodeling.com (which was a legitimate-looking modeling page featuring pictures of clothed models).
- A popular subreddit had already begun to pop up on Reddit, and the site would officially launch its own forum in 2014.
- Prosecution of minors under child pornography laws, the American Academy of Pediatrics warned in 2019, “has the potential to have dire legal ramifications for teens,” as sexting among young people—and prosecution of them under child pornography laws—continues to rise.
- “The capture of Michael Pratt is an example of how the FBI will pursue justice beyond U.S. borders — you can run but you can’t hide,” said Special Agent in Charge Stacey Moy of the FBI San Diego Field Office.
- Once the young women responded to the group’s online ads, Pratt and the others would tell them that the jobs were for pornographic videos and not modeling gigs, according to court documents.
It was also believed that Andre Garcia might have been a previously-unknown individual named “Jonathan,” who the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) had been attempting to identify and locate for over a year. This individual had been “attempting to groom minors for sex trafficking,” which fit in with the DOJ’s filing. Garcia had reportedly been recruiting women for filming purposes up until his arrest in October of 2019. It was reported then that the contracts that he had been working with still had no mention of GirlsDoPorn or the videos ever being uploaded online.
When the women responded, they were told the ads were for pornographic videos, and they were pressured into taking part, according to various lawsuits and survivor testimonies. During the trial, Evie gets on the stand and states that in her pornography videos, she wasn’t forced to do anything and that everything she did was just an act, but that she did not consent to what Daniel and Matt did to her. She says that she knew testifying in court would open herself and her family to victim blaming and judgment, but she wants to send a message that adult film entertainers do not deserve to be assaulted.

GirlsDoPorn and GirlsDoToys were sex trafficking operations whose leaders admitted that, from 2013 to 2019, they convinced victims to make adult videos by lying that their imagery would only be sold to private collectors abroad and not posted online. They’d then post the videos on the GirlsDoPorn and GirlsDoToys websites, which presented themselves as consensual amateur adult sites. Pornhub listed the official Girls Do Porn channels as a “Content Partner”, and only removed it as a partner after the owners and employees of the ring—by then already embroiled in the civil trial—were charged with federal sex trafficking counts. The plaintiffs claim that Pornhub had a policy to never take action against Content Partner videos, and that videos’ popularity rather than the evidence of the victim’s lack of consent. “This defendant lured one victim after another with fake modeling ads, false promises and deceptive front companies, ultimately devolving to threats to coerce these women into making sex videos,” said Acting U.S. Attorney Randy Grossman.
But GirlsDoPorn’s successful manipulation was possible because large swaths of society still label women who participate in sex work as cultural pariahs. The GirlsDoPorn operators knew this, and they wagered the Does’ shame over appearing in porn would likely ensure these victims would not take the site’s management to task for this fraud. 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.
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.
