Choose a Girl

MindGeek and GirlsDoPorn generated millions of dollars from Plaintiff’s video,” the complaint states. They also allegedly promoted the video by referring to Althaus as “Miss Teen Colorado” in the video. In September of 2020, the FBI would announce a $10,000 reward for any information that led to the arrest of Michael James Pratt, who stands about six feet tall, weighs upwards of 200 pounds, with brown hair and hazel eyes, and may have a tattoo on his left arm. He is known to be a private and paranoid person who is prone to emotional outbursts that may turn violent, so please use caution. Very few photos of him exist on the internet, but the ones that do will be posted on the podcast website as well as our social media accounts. Because this expansive criminal case has not yet been settled, I’m sure that part of the story will be continued in a future episode.

• By all indications, this appeared to be a legitimate upstart in the porn industry, which isn’t something you see often.
• They are shared on social media, traded in private chats, sold on the dark web, or in some cases uploaded to legal pornography websites.
• In the US, researchers estimate that 6.1% of children experience sexual victimization at the age of 17 and younger.
• Others said that they were gagged or choked to the point of vomiting during the shoot.

Exploitation and trafficking are common experiences in the porn industry.

Some said they were told they would not be allowed to leave, or their flights home would be canceled, if they did not complete filming. Another defendant, Alexander Brian Foster, pleaded guilty to creating a video meant to harass several women who sued GirlsDoPorn and was sentenced to just over one year in prison. Others prosecuted include porn actor Ruben Andre Garcia, who was sentenced to 20 years in prison and Pratt’s business partner Matthew Isaac Wolfe, who received a 14-year sentence earlier this year. Videographer Theodore Gyi was sentenced to four years in prison, while administrative assistant Valorie Moser awaits sentencing later this year. King, of course, won’t even collect these prizes, because she broke some unspoken pretty girl law of sexual propriety when she used her body for money in the incorrect venue.

• Pratt fled the US in 2019 as a civil lawsuit against him and his business partners was underway in San Diego.
• Most students (95.4%) were single, and most of them (90.5%) had not received any sexual education.
• Once the videos were posted online many victims contacted Garcia and his co-conspirators seeking to get their videos taken off the websites.
• This individual had been “attempting to groom minors for sex trafficking,” which fit in with the DOJ’s filing.
• Police had been surveilling Pratt’s home in Hidden Meadows, California, which Pratt had not been to since summer of last year – having left behind a cat and several computers.

San Diego’s short-term rental rules have had a disastrous effect

It names as defendants Aylo Media S.A.R.L., a Luxembourg-incorporated company that owns PornHub and other popular free porn video sites, and several related companies. 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.

What was the GirlsDoPorn case?

As they faced Garcia at the sentencing last week, all of the women recalled the deep trauma they faced as a result of his actions. Half of them said the widespread proliferation of their abuse videos convinced them death was a better option than living in perpetual pain and humiliation. The women faced a dark reality – the knowledge that for the rest of their lives, people would use the crime scene footage of their abuse for both pleasure and profit. GirlsDoPorn filmed more than 100 women, many who had their lives destroyed by Garcia and his cohorts. The women were lied to, Garcia recruited some when they were still underage, and all of them were lured to California through an intricate web of deception.

Regression analysis was conducted to find the predictive relationship between the forced sex and socio-demographic characteristics and level of knowledge, attitude, and relationship scores. As the total score of forced sex is a categorical variable, the odds ratio (OR) and the 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated. If you think you have a slutty girlfriend because she’s unafraid to speak her mind, express herself, and take comfort in her own sexuality, then being a slut isn’t really such a bad thing.
