Michael James Pratt, founder of the defunct California pornography website GirlsDoPorn, was sentenced to 27 years in federal prison for sex trafficking. Pratt, once on the FBI's 10 Most Wanted list, pleaded guilty to sex trafficking charges. His company used fraud and coercion to recruit hundreds of women, mostly teenagers, into the adult film industry. Co-defendants received varying sentences, ranging from 4 to 14 years, for their roles in the operation. The sentencing follows a 2020 civil lawsuit awarding $12.7 million to 22 victims who alleged fraud and assault.
