Female doporn boss pleads guilty to sexual trafficking in San Diego

After three years of running and serving on the FBI's 10 most wanted fugitives list, Michael Pratt, a female girendoporn leader, pleaded guilty Thursday to San Diego's sex trafficking charges.

According to the U.S. Department of Justice, Prat recruited hundreds of women with force, fraud and coercion, many of whom had sex on cameras as teenagers.

Prosecutors said the women were often lured to model the pretending of the show and were later told they would shoot adult videos, with Pratt and his business partners wrongly promising not to appear online. If the women refuse to finish the filming, Pratt will threaten to sue them, cancel the flight home and release the video publicly.

Prosecutors said the videos will be uploaded to GirlsDoporn.com, and from 2012 to 2019, Pratt made more than $17 million in profits.

The consequences for young victims are devastating. During the court hearing, the victims detailed how they lost their jobs, were deported, dropped out of school or were rejected by friends and family. Some people commit suicide.

Prosecutors said Pratt admitted in court that he proposed the idea for the girl dog, recruiting women to appear in the video, sometimes taking them to the location where the video was filmed, and sometimes equipped on camera. He faces potential life imprisonment and is scheduled to be sentenced on September 25.

Initially, he was sued in October 2019 with his business partners.

But before Pratt could answer his crime, he disappeared.

For years, when his business partners entered the guilty debate and victims testified in court, there was nowhere to be found. The FBI placed him in the top ten and offered a $100,000 reward in exchange for information that led to his arrest.

According to the Justice Department, authorities eventually arrested the elusive sex trafficking leader in Spain in December 2022, where he was detained until he was detained in Santiago in 2024.

Pratt's former business partners Ruben Andre Garcia, Matthew Wolfe and Theodore Gyi have been convicted of serving 20, 14 and four years in prison, respectively. Former female bookkeeper Valorie Moser pleaded guilty to conspiracy to engage in sexual trafficking and plans to be sentenced in September, prosecutors said.

According to San Diego Union-Tribune, the allegations against the sixth person in the indictment are accused of recruiting women to shoot adult films.

Prosecutors said Pratt instructed male adult film performer Garcia to recruit "reference girls" to mistakenly convince young women that the video they are shooting will not appear online and that their friends and family will never see them. The reference girl they were trying to recruit the model was paid. At least one model is underage.

"I remember being worried about telling him (Garcia) that I was only 17 years old," a woman told the court at Garcia's hearing. "But he wasn't angry or worried. Instead, he was excited and eager to start."

These women are often taken to San Diego to participate in adult films from outside. Prosecutors said Pratt and his business partners will try to hide their connections with female doporn from the model, allowing them to sign contracts with harmless business names such as "Start Modeling", "Bubblegum Casting" or "BLL Media".

Prosecutors said Pratt pleaded guilty to a conspiracy charge from 2012 to 2019 and committed sexual trafficking on the victim in May 2012.
