However, copies of the videos that were once uploaded to the sites continue to exist on hard drives around the world, being uploaded to torrent sites and other porn platforms with regularity. It was also believed that Andre Garcia might have been a previously-unknown individual named «Jonathan,» who the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) had been attempting to identify and locate for over a year. This individual had been «attempting to groom minors for sex trafficking,» which fit in with the DOJ’s filing. Garcia had reportedly been recruiting women for filming purposes up until his arrest in October of 2019. It was reported then that the contracts that he had been working with still had no mention of GirlsDoPorn or the videos ever being uploaded online. The trial lasted over three months, beginning in August of 2019 and finally wrapping up that November.

But the lawsuit alleged that Pratt and Wiederhold couldn’t agree what decision to make, and the attorneys failed to convince Pratt to settle.

Pornography Consumption and Cognitive-Affective Distress

The complaint further alleges that Pratt took Althaus’ cellphone during the filming and only gave it back to her afterward. Wiederhold is scheduled to appear for sentencing in July before U.S. District Judge Janis Sammartino, who has sentenced all the other defendants in the GirlsDoPorn case other than website owner Michael James Pratt , whose case remains ongoing.

He and his co-conspirators are accused of posting internet ads about modeling jobs to lure young women before pressuring and manipulating them into shooting sex tapes. Investigators said they lied to the women, saying that the videos would not be widely disseminated because they were for a private collector overseas and they would remain anonymous. However, Girls Do Porn distributed the videos after they were shot, and they appeared on popular porn websites. The complaint also alleged that Andre Garcia had sexually assaulted at least two of these women, either before or after the recording of their videos. In one case, he had told the victim that he needed to take her for a «test drive» before shooting a video the following day, and in another, he told her to «stop being a whiny little bitch» when she asked to take a break because of the pain she was in. Another woman altogether claimed that she was forced into performing oral sex on Garcia during their shoot, and afterward, was driven by Garcia to an isolated location where he had forcibly raped her in the backseat of the vehicle.

• Although many guidelines for screen time exist, preschool-aged children spend an average of 2.5 hours per day using screens, and online videos from platforms like YouTube are extremely popular for children this age.
• In addition, recent findings show that Internet pornography consumption is highest in young adult men (Leiblum, 1997; Price et al., 2016; O’Sullivan et al., 2014; Shapiro, 2005; Štulhofer et al., 2016; Wright, 2013).

Michael Pratt, the founder and sole owner of GirlsDoPorn, was again a no-show. 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. «Obviously, each plaintiff is unique, but there’s a recurring theme or themes.

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.
