These guys are all going to federal prison, unless they get very, very lucky, and all the money made, mostly but Michael Pratt will be forfeited, when he is extradited from New Zealand.

He probably is cooperating, he has a high profile attorney, who could broker a good plea bargain. And he 100% will want to cooperate. The question is whether the prosecutors will want or need his cooperation, or use this case as a landmark of sorts to actually put these guys on trial. The other factor is the boss is a fugitive. They could get plea bargains with the other defendants, to ensure they can prosecute him when or if he ends up in US custody.

I can say I know personally that these guys, specifically the one you referenced, knew what he was doing, and bragged about their tactics. It wasn't a one off thing. It was the norm, not the exception. Did some of these women know what they were doing? Sure, that stands to reason. But, that really isn't the question here.

They signed contracts and from the few videos I've seen they do interviews before they do the scene. None of those girls were forced.

The men lied and we're unethical about that but I'm sure if the girls really read the fine print it would have been in there.

The question isn't whether they shot a porn, or had sex for money, they 100% all did that. Move on. The issue was always whether they were deceived by fraud, force, or coercion that they video would not be posted online. It's only deep hatred of women that leads these insane arguments. It's fraud. It just happens to involve sex, porn, and attractive young women.

It wasn't in the fine print. This is all detailed in the indictment. There was no mention of the actual GirlsDoPorn site at all. It was said to be for private collectors and DVD sales overseas.

it's so sleazy how people start talking about morals and all that bullshyt, has nothing to do with this. Women who do porn can disgust you, it's a legal matter. Has nothing to do with whatever puritanical nonsense people are coming up with. The ethics of the porn industry is a whole other subject.

Yep, look at how many posters calling them hoes, whores, bytches...even though they explicitly were girls who weren't from the industry. And a lot of the posters who are hating on the women the most are the same ones talking about all the porn they watch.





Even their own videographer has testified that they lied to the girls. They already admitted their business model was to target girls who didn't do porn. The fake former clients they used to further lie to the girls have already been outed. People saying the girls would have known....IF THE GIRLS KNEW ANYWAY THEN WHY WOULD YOU LIE TO THEM AND EXPOSE YOURSELF TO MASSIVE LEGAL CONSEQUENCES?????

And look what the DOJ said happened to the girls who realized they were being taken advantage of and didn't want to go through with it:

Some of the women were pressured into signing documents without reviewing them and then threatened with legal action or outing if they failed to perform; some were not permitted to leave the shooting locations until the videos were made; family and friends and the general public eventually saw the videos online; some victims were harassed and ridiculed and estranged from their families as a result; and some were sexually assaulted and in at least one case raped. Some were forced to perform certain sex acts they had declined to do, or they would not be paid or allowed to leave.”
Why are people still arguing like this isn’t fukked up?

I don’t understand the woman hate.
It would be like me irrationally hating servers at restaurants.

Let’s say they go to work for the food industry and sign a contract. But then let’s say they were forced to sign a contract hurriedly without reading all the terms. Then told if they didn’t clean the tables with their tongues or some crazy shyt, they wouldn’t be allowed to leave. Why are u a simp or caping for the normal expectation of people not getting fukked over in their jobs?

The sexual frustration I think manifests as resentment and a desire to see women in the industry punished—while simultaneously needing to consume the medium for a sexual outlet. When I read about the shyt people go thru in the porn industry, my automatic inclination isn’t derision and sanctimonious bullshyt b/c I’ve watched porn too.
The entire porn industry needs to be reformed. Holding these sick fukks accountable is a great start.

I heard a rumor a long time ago that the owner of the website was using it to launder his father's drug money. Any truth to this?

If Im getting it in real life, I'm just trying to watch the finest hoes get fukked. If Im in a dry spell, thats when I look for deepthroat videos and stuff like that :hubie:
To be honest, I don’t care for shaming men out of normal sexual kinks. There are women willing and ready with similar inclinations.
Let it freak flag fly.:dj2:

But the callous anger, resentment and desire to see chicks treated like shyt for performing sex work—while literally jacking off to their efforts is crazy weird to me.

It would be like me getting mad at a guy getting money for being shirtless even tho i find him attractive and stare at his pictures all day. And if he gets a mosquito bite or other fukked up shyt from being shirtless I would petulantly say “Well that’s what he gets for being a male model!”:mad::angry:

But I buy his pictures too...:laff:

Instead b/c I don’t have an inherent issue with his attractiveness I would say something like, his employers should invest in bug repellent or make sure they are—you feel me?

But the other shyt is so strange to me. And I don’t think it’s most men who are like this. In fact, I know a couple of dudes who don’t even like porn b/c they feel it’s trash too.

I want a sexual art industry where sex workers don’t have to get their rights taken (unless that’s legit their thing) simply b/c they dealing in a sexual profession.

Idiots here are still claiming "they didn't do anything illegal" or "it's over for men". As if these a$$holes didn't know that what they were doing was illegal from beginning to end. Let's review for the reading impaired:

San Diego federal prosecutors charged them with sex trafficking by force, fraud, and coercion. And they fled the country.
A state judge tentatively awarded more than $12.7 million to the 22 women suing porn production company Girls Do Porn today, finding that the company intimidated the women into shooting adult videos, and lied to them about how they will be distributed.

Later in the article:

The judge also found that they were at times threatened until they agreed to sign the contract.

And again later:

"Defendants rush and pressure the woman to sign the documents quickly without reading them and engage in other deceptive, coercive, and threatening behavior to secure their signatures... The Court finds these putative contracts invalid and unenforceable-part and parcel of Defendants' fraudulent scheme," he wrote in the ruling.
Even their own videographer has testified that they lied to the girls. They already admitted their business model was to target girls who didn't do porn. The fake former clients they used to further lie to the girls have already been outed. People saying the girls would have known....IF THE GIRLS KNEW ANYWAY THEN WHY WOULD YOU LIE TO THEM AND EXPOSE YOURSELF TO MASSIVE LEGAL CONSEQUENCES?????

And look what the DOJ said happened to the girls who realized they were being taken advantage of and didn't want to go through with it:

“Some of the women were pressured into signing documents without reviewing them and then threatened with legal action or outing if they failed to perform; some were not permitted to leave the shooting locations until the videos were made; family and friends and the general public eventually saw the videos online; some victims were harassed and ridiculed and estranged from their families as a result; and some were sexually assaulted and in at least one case raped. Some were forced to perform certain sex acts they had declined to do, or they would not be paid or allowed to leave.”



And look at the case @re'up posted:
Owner of San Diego Porn Website Face Child Pornography Charges



Just so people know what happened, and don't start this "They knew what they were doing" line of thinking.

I heard a rumour that the girls all got together one day to emotional support each other.

Out of nowhere one brave girl asked

" so anyone actually enjoyed the sex part?"

You wouldn't believe what were the replies.......
