On Friday, October 12, administrative assistant Valorie Moser, 37, appeared in court and was arraigned. Moser was accused of conspiracy in recruiting women to appear in sex scenes, and a preliminary hearing was scheduled for October 22. Moser testified that Pratt instructed her to create a Google Hangout to communicate with the models and that “at least a dozen young women” sent complaints and begged her to remove their videos.
Matthew Isaac Wolfe pleads guilty in San Diego federal case while his business partner remains a fugitive
Chapin said Enright is giving attorneys additional time to file any objections to his rulings. “The money’s one thing but these guys have ruined [the plaintiffs’] lives and we have to clean this up as much as possible,” Ed Chapin, attorney for the women, said after the judge’s decision was issued. Several people linked to GirlsDoPorn were named in a federal indictment handed up in 2019, including the company’s co-owners, Matthew Isaac Wolfe and Michael James Pratt. The Independent has contacted both Aylo and Ethical Capital Partners for comment. We have also asked if they have filed a position statement or defences, as it is not clear at this time. Although she changed her name, and the video is now ten years old, she is still harassed due to what happened in her past, Ms Althaus said in the lawsuit.

One in five said there is a need for more accessible and reliable reporting mechanisms or stricter age verification processes. The surveys were conducted in Bolivia, Brazil, Burkina Faso, Colombia, Kenya, Malawi, Nepal, Philippines and Timor-Leste. They are not representative of all girls and young women growing up in those countries, but the results highlight the voices and daily experiences that many of these young women face. The roommate also told police that Wallin routinely carried a gun and frequently drove by Salgado’s home and Rael’s workplace to keep tabs on the girl, the suit alleges. Wallin eventually rented an apartment that was five minutes by car from Rael’s workplace. The suit also alleges that BCSO Detective Patrick Delp failed to interview Wallin or his roommate in the five weeks he investigated the child abuse allegations.
Victims had repeatedly contacted the company to complain and tell them about the problems, it says. Pornhub and other MindGeek sites removed the Girls Do Porn channel as soon as the charges were made – but the complaint alleges that “at this point, there was no longer a company left for MindGeek to partner with”. The victims allege that Pornhub and its parent company MindGeek knew of the allegations against the company, but continued a partnership anyway.
- Due to the one-time-only amateur paradigm, GirlsDoPorn required a constant stream of new models to keep the content on the website fresh.
- “But he was not mad or concerned. Instead he was excited and was eager to start.”
- Instead, footage would be burned to DVD and sold to private collectors in Australia and New Zealand.
- Hundreds of women from cities throughout the United States and Canada were recruited to appear in videos based upon these material misrepresentations.
- “I’m very afraid of commenting on my team’s posts, because I know how toxic the comments are (against girls),” she said adding that taking time offline has helped her deal with the stress.
After the San Diego Superior Court judge ruled in favor of the 22 women who sued GirlsDoPorn, Domi Publications was one of the entities on the hook for paying the judgment. The charges against Pratt’s co-defendants in the initial indictment have all ended in guilty pleas. GirlsDoPorn was also sued locally by 22 women, who were awarded nearly $13 million by a San Diego Superior Court judge at the conclusion of a trial.
“You better be here by noon shoot 2tomorrow or your graveyard,” one text included in the lawsuit read. Girls Do Porn was set up in 2006 by Mr Pratt, from New Zealand, which specialised in producing pornography of only younger women between 18 and 22. Despite agreements to the contrary, Jane Doe 15 claims the videos were quickly circulated online and her entire friendship group and many college peers became aware. The agreement was five sexual positions, each for around seven minutes and that it would be filmed in a San Diego hotel, with return flights to the city covered by them. Jane Doe 15 said her video was circulated widely online – despite contractual promises that the recordings was to be distributed on DVD abroad only. According to Moser, the models asked for their videos to be removed and even offered their earnings in exchange.
- The URLs for the victims’ videos contain affiliate tails and are surrounded by hyperlink advertisements that, if clicked, redirect the visitors to various paysites.
- GirlsDoPorn continued to show total indifference throughout the trial, even uploading a new video involving one Jane Doe who claimed that she was not made aware of the lawsuit when she shot the video in August.
- “MindGeek has zero tolerance for the posting of illegal content on its platforms, and has instituted a comprehensive, industry-leading trust and safety policy to identify and eradicate any illegal material from its community,” MindGeek said in a statement.
- In addition, they were also charged with conspiracy to commit sex trafficking by force, fraud and coercion, with a maximum penalty of life in prison, plus a $250,000 fine.
Online money scams have proliferated globally, boosted by financial technology and advancements in artificial intelligence, according to the international crime and policing body INTERPOL. Among participants in the surveys, young women and girls in Africa were most affected by money scams – with half being exposed to scams and a quarter having lost money. Authorities in Malawi have appointed a child’s protection ambassador and help provide train for school leaders, children’s NGOs and other civil society stakeholders on digital safety as part of a strategy for protecting children online.

More than a hundred women have also filed lawsuits against Aylo in San Diego, in which they allege the company knowingly hosted GirlsDoPorn’s videos even as the site came under scrutiny. This doesn’t mean GirlsDoPorn content has disappeared from the Web, however. GirlsDoPorn video clips remain readily available from other pornographic video sites. The women were told the videos wouldn’t be made public but would go to private DVD collections overseas, they testified. Instead, the videos were widely disseminated on the GirlsDoPorn network of sites and beyond.
They sued a total of 13 affiliated businesses and individuals, including owner Michael Pratt, actor Andre Garcia, and videographer Matthew Wolfe. Michael James Pratt, who fled the United States during a San Diego civil trial and was subsequently charged criminally, made his initial appearance in a San Diego federal courtroom Tuesday afternoon. 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. A hearing has been set for Thursday to discuss whether the 41-year-old should be released on bail. In July 2015, Jane Doe 1 responded to a Craigslist ad seeking models in the Las Vegas area.
In a deferred prosecution agreement reached between the company and federal prosecutors in New York, Aylo Holdings S.A.R.L. admitted to accepting money it knew or should have known originated from sex trafficking operations. Two weeks ago, a California judge awarded the women a combined $13 million. The plaintiffs “have experienced severe harassment, emotional and psychological trauma, and reputational harm,” the judge wrote. The operators of GirlsDoPorn are in legal trouble because dozens of women say they were tricked and coerced into appearing in videos on the site. The site attracted women by telling them that their videos would only be sold on DVD to wealthy customers overseas and would never appear online.
