“I think it’s important for parents to talk about healthy and respectful relationships, and talking to your children is not just a once-off,” says Lerato. Whether we want to face the fact or not, she says, with more kids having access to data, unlimited Wi-Fi and devices since the Covid-19 lockdown, psychologists are seeing the kids who are accessing pornography online getting younger and younger. With porn addiction specifically, the person may grow angry or frustrated when something or someone is keeping them from being able to watch porn, such as work or spending time with their partner.

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. Garcia’s victims were coerced, defrauded and forced to participate in recorded sex acts, some of which were violent to the point of drawing blood. 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.
My Fellow Black Men—It’s Time to Get in Line Behind Kamala Harris Opinion
LGBTQ+ teens and young adults may be particularly at risk of participating in sexting, with 21% of LGBTQ+ youth reporting they have shared images or videos of themselves. This may be because LGBTQ+ teens report feeling more pressured to sext, or, possibly due to uncomfortability or inability to be “out” and dating in real life, are creating romantic relationships online. Parents should talk with their teens often about the experiences they are having and the choices they are making online. Screens and interactive media form an important part of teens’ and young adults’ social lives, education, and entertainment choices with teens and young adults engaged in a constant and often simultaneous interaction with the online world alongside their “real life” world. Findlater, from the Stop It Now helpline, says he hopes other companies, such as social media websites and file-hosting platforms, can look at the results of the trial and introduce similar nudges where people are seeking CSAM. “The more places you can put it, the greater chance you’re going to catch those people that might be at a stage where they can still be helped, or those people that are looking for help but don’t know about it,” Sexton says.
- During that time, Pratt allegedly threatened and blackmailed her into filming more pornographic content for GirlsDoPorn.
- Many of the women said viewers found and published their full names online, resulting in severe harassment and suicidal thoughts, for some of them.
- This secrecy, coupled with the assumed ubiquity of porn, is the subject that animates Porn.
- Investigators said that victims were forced into performing nonconsensual sexual acts, and when they wanted their videos removed from the websites, Pratt and his partners threatened and intimidated them.
Company
- Following an explosive New York Times column on December 4 that accused the company of hosting rape videos and child pornography, the company changed its policies so that only verified users can upload content, and started deleting millions of unverified videos from its platform.
- Someone with a porn addiction may see how these actors behave and expect their partner to act the same way during sexual activity.
- Fifty GirlsDoPorn victims are now suing Pornhub, demanding more than $100 million in damages for their pain and suffering.
- Garcia and the California-based website’s co-owner, Matthew Isaac Wolfe, were both detained and hit with sex trafficking charges.
- Over time, they may find porn more exciting or sexually arousing than traditional sex or even prefer viewing porn over being intimate with their partner.
While she only looked at it on one website, others told Doe the video was now all over the Internet. Several women described during his sentencing hearing how links to their videos were sent en masse to family members, friends and co-workers, sabotaging their employment prospects and ruining familial relationships to this day. One woman said she’s faced consistent harassment since her video was posted nine years ago, leading her to move and change her name. The woman said she’s about to graduate from college, but said that though “I’m proud to be the first in my family to go to college, when I graduate, it’s not going to be my name that’s called.” According to his plea agreement, Wiederhold appeared as the male actor in 71 GirlsDoPorn videos. He also falsely assured at least two women that their videos wouldn’t be posted online after knowing other women’s videos had already been uploaded to the Internet, the plea agreement states.
Wolfe’s attorney, Jeremy Warren, wrote that the country’s economy ground to a halt, leaving young people like Wolfe with few job prospects. That’s when childhood schoolmate Pratt offered Wolfe a job in San Diego, telling him that he needed technical help to run his business. It makes you wonder what, if anything, will be enough to convince Pornhub and its porn owner MindGeek to proactively get rid of Girls Do Porn’s worrying content, seeing how the simplest searches for Girls Do Porn videos on Pornhub turn up plenty of Girls Do Porn videos that aren’t even trying to hide. The most recent demand letter from the victims’ lead attorney Brian Holm states that “Cloudflare itself is knowingly participating in this criminal venture” by providing services to these sites.
Over 20 victims of Pratt and his crew already won the$12.75 million civil lawsuit against the site. Women cited in the court documents said they were forced to sign contracts that did not give the full scope of what the site intended to do with the videos. Even after the women’s videos were released on the site, the victims said they were doxxed, and their personal info was released to the internet. Women also testified that the men refused to stop the porn shoots, and that they were threatened with withholding their hotel reservations and plane tickets they were going to use to return home. Since their arrests, Garcia, Wolfe, and several others have pleaded guilty to sex trafficking. Garcia was sentenced to 20 years in federal prison, and Wolfe awaits sentencing.
Pratt fled the US and is now a fugitive, likely in his home country of New Zealand. It was in June 2020 when Garcia was sentenced to 20 years in prison after he plead guilty to federal counts of sex trafficking by force, fraud, and coercion. How could millennial women, living in an age where porn is almost exclusively viewed online, ever believe their own videos would never be posted on the Internet? To start, it takes a thought-out criminal scheme where the perpetrators were dedicated to leaving no paper trail. But GirlsDoPorn’s successful manipulation was possible because large swaths of society still label women who participate in sex work as cultural pariahs.

On July 7, the women and MindGeek filed a joint motion to suspend proceedings for 30 days so they could discuss a “possible resolution of this action (including potential mediation or other alternative dispute resolution.” The court granted the motion. A court document filed Friday noted that a settlement agreement had been reached and dismissed the claims. Althaus is one of dozens of victims who have brought similar allegations against GirlsDoPorn and websites like Pornhub that promoted the since-closed website’s content, “generated millions of dollars in revenue,” the lawsuit states.
After the victim arrived at the hotel or short-term rental unit, Garcia would continue to falsely assure them that the videos would not be posted online and that no one who knew the victims would see – or even know about – the videos. Victims were told that the contracts they were presented with simply said what the victims had already been told, including that the videos would not be posted online. Nowhere on the contract could the reader find a reference to “girlsdoporn,” “girlsdotoys” or pornography at all. The companies were instead identified with innocuous names, such as Bubblegum Casting. Two other members of Pratt’s team have already been indicted, including the porn actor Ruben Andre Garcia of San Diego who was sentenced to 20 years for sex trafficking in California district court. Videographer Matthew Wolfe, another member of the GirlsDoPorn team, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit sex trafficking as well as fraud, and he’s scheduled to be sentenced next month.
Business Insider has found lawsuits on behalf of nearly 300 plaintiffs who allege that back before the 2020 purge, videos of their abuse were uploaded to Pornhub without their consent and remained on the site for weeks or months after they were flagged. “Laila Mickelwait is a superstar advocate and activist who has single-handedly led the charge against Pornhub and its facilitation and monetization of child sex trafficking,” he tweeted last week. Nearly two dozen videos uploaded to Pornhub showed a 12-year-old Alabama boy being repeatedly drugged and raped. The rapist, Rocky Shay Franklin, is now serving a 40-year prison term for sexual exploitation. Since then, Pornhub has enacted a detailed system of safeguards to keep illegal and abusive content off the site.
