22 women win $13 million in suit against GirlsDoPorn videos Los Angeles Times
During the course of the civil trial, Pratt, Garcia and Wolfe were criminally indicted for sex trafficking, among other charges. A US judge has awarded $13m in damages to 22 women who were defrauded by the owners of GirlsDoPorn, a website specialising in “amateur”-style pornography. 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. Pratt, Wolfe and two other men were present while allegedly forcing Althaus to record the pornographic film in a hotel room in San Diego.
Pornhub removes Girls Do Porn, finally drawing a line at sex trafficking charges
The plaintiffs said they endured harassment and ostracizing as the result of their videos being shared online, and all of them had suicidal thoughts as a result. „I was told this video went to a private viewer, and now it is all over the internet. I was lied to, and this isn’t okay,“ another plaintiff said in a 2016 message to MindGeek. A third plaintiff told MindGeek „me and other girls are being brutally harassed.“ Then, the women alleged, they were victims of an orchestrated system of harassment, threats and public humiliation by defendants who made sure friends, family, college and work colleagues saw the online films. “Do any contracts presented to models since the lawsuit was filed in June 2016 reference websites? Several of the women alleged they were lured to San Diego with online advertisements that made no mention of nudity or pornography, much less the GirlsDoPorn business name.

Stop if the penis/sex toy slips out of the condom into your vagina or anus, or if the outer ring gets pushed into your vagina or anus. If there’s no semen (cum), you can gently remove the condom and put it back in place. Explore research-packed articles, videos, and podcast—all detailing porn’s harms to individuals, relationships, and society. A silver lining is that the criminals behind the Girls Do Porn debacle have been shutdown and are paying for their crimes and that this doesn’t generally represent the industry. “As a reminder, GirlsDoPorn’s owners/ employees are currently ensnared in a human trafficking case in the Southern District of CA.
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.
And contrary to popular belief, contracts are not valid or binding when signed under fraudulent or misleading conditions. This scandal would be the website’s first foray into the headlines, but far from the last, with the owners and producers making international news just a few years later when it was revealed that this wasn’t just a porn website run by a couple of perverted guys from New Zealand… But was an international criminal conspiracy, full of several people willing to carry out a litany of crimes – including sexual trafficking, conspiracy, and the production of child pornography – in order to illegally profit off of hundreds of young women. Theodore Wilfred Gyi, 44, pleaded guilty to a federal count of conspiracy to commit sex trafficking for his role in the website’s operations, which prosecutors say involved lying to women who appeared in the videos by telling them their scenes would only be distributed on DVDs to private customers. The way images spread widely on porn sites and social media caused untold trauma to these women’s lives. Girls Do Porn’s operators posted them for free on websites including Pornhub, one of the most popular websites in the world, where their friends and family found the videos and, in some cases, cut them out of their communities and forced them to move or change their names.
Practicing mindfulness, Mintz advises, can improve your ability to stay focused during sex so that your mind doesn’t wander to all your responsibilities and kill the mood. You may also need to explore other ways to manage stress – if it’s wrecking your sex life – through therapy, more time for yourself, or physical exercise. But before you chalk your concerns up to HSDD and look into prescription drugs, doctors will want to rule out some of the commonly known reasons for loss of sexual desire. The biggest myth, Mintz says, is that women should be able to have an orgasm through penetration alone. The fact that so many people believe this, she says, is keeping women from enjoying sex and thereby diminishing their desire for it. Studies show that in heterosexual relationships, women frequently take the blame for a dip in sexual activity that’s actually the result of a host of problems related to both members of the couple.
- “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.“
- One of the coolest things about the internal condom is you can put it in ahead of time, before foreplay and sex, so you don’t have to interrupt the action when it’s time to get busy.
- The website is the largest website of its kind—hosting tens of thousands of videos and receiving millions of visitors.
„There is evidence from the defendants’ own records demonstrating the presence of thousands of pieces of CSAM on their sites,“ in previous years, US District Judge Cormac J. Carney wrote in the order, using the acronym for child sexual abuse material. In yet another ripple, Pornhub’s parent company, Aylo — formerly MindGeek — was ordered last year to submit to three years of federal monitoring of its content and screening. Aylo is the parent company for a network of porn sites, including Pornhub, PornhubPremium, Brazzers, YouPorn, Reality Kings, Men.com, TransAngels and Nataku.
- Nowhere on the contract could the reader find a reference to “girlsdoporn,” “girlsdotoys” or pornography at all.
- 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.
- Sometimes responses and replies take time, and we ask you to be courteous and patient to allow the expert to type answers to you and also to others.
- She sent a second request that month asking MindGeek to remove the video from Tube8.com, another MindGeek property, the lawsuit said.
- Following an explosive New York Times column on December 4 that accused the company of hosting rape videos and child pornography, the company changed its policies so that only verified users can upload content, and started deleting millions of unverified videos from its platform.
She is forced to relive that night each time as she petitions for their removal. Pornhub continued to host Girls Do Porn videos even after victims started to come forward and be covered in the press in 2019, and the suit alleged the site still hasn’t managed to boot all the videos off its service. „As of December 12, 2020, MindGeek still hosts victims’ videos on its websites, including Plaintiffs,“ it said. The women filed the suit on Tuesday against MindGeek, Pornhub’s parent company, alleging that it hosted Girls Do Porn videos in the knowledge of the company’s illegal practices. Pornhub was hit with a $40 million lawsuit from sex-trafficking victims the day after it said it had started deleting millions of videos from its platform, Vice reported.
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.
The owners and operators of GirlsDoPorn knew the type of women they wanted to appear in their amateur porn videos—college-age millennials—would not agree to casually participate in the porn industry. After all, these women grew up in the Internet age, where amateur porn has been rampantly available for years. On top of that, many instances of their peers’ sexual exploration through sexting had traveled down several slippery slopes, including cases where teens had been criminally charged for sharing x-rated media they took of themselves. Prosecutors allege the website’s owners and operators lured unsuspecting young women, and at least one underage girl, with advertisements for clothed modeling gigs. When it was revealed that the job involved filming adult videos, the victims were led to believe the videos they appeared in would be distributed only to private customers living outside of the country, rather than proliferated online, according to the U.S. The trial lasted over three months, beginning in August of 2019 and finally wrapping up that November.
