Choose a Girl

Yet, despite all of that, what she wants is validation from some random group of self-declared smart people. For someone like her to need the approval of someone like them is an apocalyptic admission of neediness that’s depressing to think about. “Nobody in any of those situations has ever ‘won,’ even if their civil suits or criminal cases went well,” DeBarber said. “It is so easy to just blame victims—much easier than helping them. I wonder how more than half of my clients could ever trust somebody ever again.”

• When Candice was eighteen months old, her mother went home to Missouri for good.

What happened in that room completely upended Jane’s life since—it’s followed her throughout school, to her first jobs out of college, through every success she’s ever earned, and in every relationship she’s ever been in. She is one of 22 women who sued fraudulent porn production company Girls Do Porn and won millions of dollars in a civil trial in 2020, and whose testimonies led to an FBI indictment of the owners and operators of the site. “Jonathan’s” real name is Ruben Andre Garcia, who pled guilty to federal sex trafficking charges in December.

GirlsDoPorn victims win rights to their videos

The crime was utterly callous in nature and there is no excuse or justification for his conduct, which was driven purely by greed. The harm inflicted by this defendant will last a lifetime for his victims. Hopefully today’s sentence will offer them a sense of justice.” Grossman praised prosecutors Joseph Green, Alexandra Foster and Sabrina Feve; FBI Special Agents; and the U.S.

In October, Pornhub’s parent company settled a lawsuit brought by 50 women who said they were victims of the sex-trafficking operation. Sammartino’s order grants the video rights to 402 GirlsDoPorn victims, who can now seek “takedown” notices, under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, against websites that continue to allow the films to be shown. Originally, women responded to adverts for clothed modelling work and were then told they would be highly paid for anonymous adult video shoots.

Most were told the video production would take around 30 minutes, when in reality, they typically lasted for several hours. The sex for the video shoots was rough and caused many victims pain, and in some cases bleeding. In response, Garcia and others told the victims that they had to continue and finish the videos. Victims were also often paid significantly less than originally promised with Garcia and others would citing a tattoo, a mole, or some other perceived “imperfection” to pay the victim less. When victims expressed hesitation, Garcia directed other young women to contact the victims and falsely reassure them that the videos would not be posted online and that none of the victims’ friends, families, colleagues or classmates would find out. Young women were selected as references, because Garcia, Pratt and Matthew Wolfe believed the victims were more likely to believe other young women over Garcia or Pratt.

Teddy Gyi, the videographer, pleaded guilty to lying to her and many other women about how the videos would be distributed. Michael Pratt, the company’s co-owner with Matthew Wolfe, is assumed to have fled the country and is on the FBI’s Most Wanted list. The operator of the GirlsDoPorn empire, which coerced young women into filming adult videos that were widely released online, pleaded guilty in San Diego federal court last month to a single count of conspiracy to commit sex trafficking. SAN DIEGO – Adult film performer and producer Ruben Andre Garcia pleaded guilty in federal court today to sex trafficking charges, admitting that he conspired with the owners of the adult websites GirlsDoPorn and GirlsDoToys to fraudulently coerce young women to appear in sex videos. Most of the videos created as a part of the conspiracy were shot at hotels or short-term rental units in the San Diego area.

Society labels that “slutty,” and many believe that such hyper-sexuality is clear proof of psychological pathology. Meanwhile, during my four decades as a sexuality journalist, I’ve interviewed several porn actresses who swore they’d never suffered sexual trauma. Royalle had a particular vision for the films that she thought both women and men open to watching porn together would enjoy. (She liked to recruit actors who were actually together, or hot for each other, in real life.) There would be more foreplay and more of what she called “afterglow”; couples (these were generally hetero twosomes) were shown hugging and kissing, and sweating together après sex.
