Eventually, she found one, which provided solid pay for just a few hours’ work. For a girl that didn’t have many resources to rely on, it seemed like a dream-come-true. But like most things in the world, the reality was more disappointing than the glossy images presented online. The 22 plaintiffs sought compensatory and punitive damages, alleged intentional misrepresentation, fraudulent concealment, misappropriation of name and likeness, and deceptive business practices, among other civil grounds. Six of the women whose videos were posted online spoke at Gyi’s sentencing, and each said Gyi assured them their videos would not be seen on the internet, but soon discovered they had been lied to. The website and its operators were also sued by 22 women featured in its videos, and a San Diego judge awarded the women nearly $13 million at the end of a civil trial.

As of December 12, 2020, MindGeek still hosts victims’ videos on its websites, including Plaintiffs. The URLs for the victims’ videos contain affiliate tails and are surrounded by hyperlink advertisements that, if clicked, redirect the visitors to various paysites. Most of the hyperlink advertisements on these victim’s videos redirect the visitor to MindGeek’s paysite, Others redirect the visitor to third-party paysites, such as JerkMate.com. Pornhub has faced increasing problems amid allegations that it hosted content featuring child sexual exploitation, nonconsensual violence, rape, and other illegal material. Pornhub has responded to the controversy by banning uploads from unidentified users and purging millions of user-uploaded videos.

Who is GirlsDoPorn producer Ruben Andre Garcia?

• A not guilty plea was entered on Pratt’s behalf to a 19-count indictment that includes charges of sex trafficking, production of child pornography, sex trafficking of a minor, and conspiracy to launder monetary instruments.
• The plaintiff-victims, some of whom were paying their way through college or needed money for rent, were lured into the defendants’ pornography scheme through phony ads on Craigslist.com for clothed modeling gigs.
• She said she’s spent several years and thousands of dollars attempting to get the videos scrubbed from the internet.
• Pornhub’s lawyers have sued the attorneys general in these states, challenging the constitutionality of their user age-verification laws.

Laws to limit the use of these tools and protect those targeted are lagging, even as the malicious use of AI has evolved to not just create new victims but to revictimize survivors. During his cross-examination, Buchanan rips Evie’s testimony apart, saying that the only difference between the adult films that she made and the boys’ video was that she was paid for the adult films. Evie says that she told the boys no, but Buchanan brings up that she said no in the videos as well and asks her how the jury is supposed to know the difference.

When she had recorded the video, back in March, she hadn’t been dating anyone. A boyfriend that decided to end things now instead of getting further invested in a woman that had filmed porn. Jane would end up having to move twenty minutes away from her school – just to avoid the embarrassment that followed her with regularity – and would have to begin using her middle name professionally (just to get a foot in the door with prospective employers). But even then, she began to fear that anyone and everyone knew, and was later prescribed antidepressants by her therapist to deal with the depression and anxiety that became a part of her everyday life. In the end, Jane was only paid $3,000 – roughly half of what she had been originally promised. The men present at the hotel told them that that wasn’t their fault, it all had to do with the executives at the company; but if she backed out now, she would get paid nothing.

Garcia and the California-based website’s co-owner, Matthew Isaac Wolfe, were both detained and hit with sex trafficking charges. He has been sentenced to 20 years in prison after pleading guilty to “conspiracy and sex trafficking” charges. In late July, one of Pratt’s coconspirators, 40-year-old Matthew Isaac Wolfe, pleaded guilty to committing sex trafficking by force, fraud, and coercion. Jane Doe, one of the dozens of women trapped in a sex trafficking operation that lasted more than a decade, is speaking out about the dark chapter that radically changed the trajectory of her life. At just 22 years old, she was lured into traveling to California for what she thought was an above-board modeling job. Business Insider has found lawsuits on behalf of nearly 300 plaintiffs who allege that back before the 2020 purge, videos of their abuse were uploaded to Pornhub without their consent and remained on the site for weeks or months after they were flagged.

“Plaintiff fears for her life and safety, as well as the lives and safety of people close to her,” the complaint continues. The lawsuit also alleges that Pratt forced Althaus to perform oral sex on him and threatened her with a gun. The complaint further alleges that Pratt took Althaus’ cellphone during the filming and only gave it back to her afterward. Another victim said that when she met Wolfe, the proverbial monsters underneath her childhood bed “became a reality.” She called Wolfe “bottom-of-the-barrel scum” and said he and his co-defendants have ruined every relationship she’s ever had.

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).

Yet, “Jonathan N” was persistent with his offers, and later managed to arrange a call with Jane. During this phone call, he said that she could earn $5,000 by appearing in a sex scene filmed by his company, to which she asked if it would be distributed throughout North America. “No,” said Jonathan, who insisted that this footage would only be distributed throughout Australia and the United Kingdom on DVDs for private collectors. Jonathan promised Jane that this footage would never be released in North America or even on a digital platform – just physical. By all indications, this appeared to be a legitimate upstart in the porn industry, which isn’t something you see often. The porn industry is often seen as being rather lucrative, but only for those that can manage to get into it and take advantage of the rare opportunities.

But the clips would always direct viewers to his website, GirlsDoPorn.com, where they could unlock the full video for a monthly subscription. Because of this forced resignation, Megan lost access to whatever benefits she might have obtained through the pageants… While the traffic to the amateur porn site increased tenfold, with its owners bragging about needing to increase their server size in social media posts. Megan was a young woman from the American northeast, who would become a foster child at the age of 12. She would spend the next handful of years in the foster system, at times struggling with anxiety and depression. 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.

SAN DIEGO (CNS) – A videographer for the now-defunct San Diego-based pornographic website GirlsDoPorn.com was sentenced Wednesday to four years in prison for taking part in a sex-trafficking conspiracy that coerced hundreds of women to appear in online pornographic videos under false pretenses. He allegedly did so by telling the women and girls that they would be paid $3,000 to $5,000 for a one-day pornographic video shoot. This is part of a restitution order from the prosecution of Ruben Andre Garcia—who also went by Jonathan—the male performer and co-operator of Girls Do Porn.
