Forced sex and its predictors among students attending university: a cross-sectional study PMC

The filming of the scene would take place over the next several hours, with Jane Doe telling the individuals at the scene that she wasn’t comfortable with the various sexual acts they were telling her to perform. However, the people there – Garcia, who was in the process of brutalizing her on-camera, and Teddy, the cameraman that seemed to encourage it – told her that she had already agreed to be filmed and that they would take her payment away if she backed out now. 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, on the other hand, had her life changed overnight, with her true identity being revealed to the world just hours after the video appeared online.

GirlsDoPorn employee who created own related website indicted in San Diego on sex trafficking charges

Some illuminating information would come from the testimony of two people employed by GirlsDoPorn but were not involved in the running of the company itself. He failed to answer his court summons, having returned to New Zealand due to what friend and confidante Matthew Wolfe described as “health issues related to threats he had received,” but offering up no details about either the threats or the health issues involved. Wolfe did admit that he had been chatting with Pratt recently over the encrypted messaging app Signal but claimed to have no knowledge of Pratt’s whereabouts.

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.

Jane Does v. GirlsDoPorn: How 22 millennial women brought down a porn empire

He ordered Girls Do Porn’s founder, Michael James Pratt, 36, his business partner, Matthew Isaac Wolfe, 37, and porn actor Ruben Andre Garcia, 31, to hand over all images, videos, likenesses, and copyrights and to take “active steps” to remove them from circulation. Once flown to San Diego, the women said, they were put in hotel rooms set up for porn films and pressured to sign long, complicated contracts with hardly any time to read them. They were also often threatened to participate and given drugs and alcohol before the shoots, the judge said.

Michael James Pratt and Matthew Isaac Wolfe were two friends that grew up together in Christchurch, New Zealand. While they originally attended primary school together, the two would begin to split off in their teenage years, with Wolfe attending the co-ed Burnside High School while Pratt graduated from Christchurch Boys High School. They would remain friends throughout that span, however, and came of age in the late 1990s, when the internet was just beginning to explode in popularity and usage. This young woman, it turns out, not only participated in pageants but had won a couple of the most high profile among them – representing her home state in the Miss Teen International and Miss Teen USA competition that same year. In statements made to pageant officials, she said that she had participated in the pageants to not only stand as a good example for others younger than her going through the foster system but to raise awareness for volunteer efforts with other foster children. In 2013, a video featuring Megan appeared online, alongside a couple of male figures.

• In at least one case, the young woman had only been seventeen years old at the time she began corresponding with Pratt, Wolfe, and Garcia, who then began making plans to fly her across state lines after her eighteen birthday…
• 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.
• Pratt, who was the owner of the website GirlsDoPorn, was charged in October 2019 in the Southern District of California with sex trafficking crimes in connection with a scheme to deceive and coerce young women to appear in pornographic videos.
• “As a reminder, GirlsDoPorn’s owners/ employees are currently ensnared in a human trafficking case in the Southern District of CA.

In addition to not being told they’d be online, the group informed the women that they would remain anonymous in the videos, according to court records. The site’s owner, Michael James Pratt, faces a litany of felony charges, including sex trafficking by force and production of child pornography. He remains at large and was recently placed on the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted Fugitives List.
