In a courtroom packed with survivors on Tuesday, more than four years after he was charged, the founder of the San Diego-based GirlsDoPorn website, Michael Pratt, appeared in U.S. Federal Court, in San Diego.
“When he was in Spain, that was really hard, but now that he's here, and we got to see him first-hand, yeah, there is an end in sight," one victim, who NBC 7 is only identifying as Mariah, said Tuesday."And we will get to close this chapter soon.” 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.
