Porn Empire Founder Sentenced to 27 Years in Prison for Sex Trafficking
Michael James Pratt, founder of the porn empire GirlsDoPorn, has been sentenced to 27 years in federal prison for sex trafficking. Pratt, who pleaded guilty in June, was found to have recruited hundreds of women, often in their late teens, through fraudulent modeling offers, using force, fraud, and coercion. The crimes resulted in a 2020 judgment against Pratt and others, after several women claimed they were victimized. Co-defendants Matthew Isaac Wolfe and Ruben Andre Garcia received 14 and 20-year sentences, respectively, while cameraman Theodore Gyi was sentenced to four years.
