GirlsDoPorn Cameraman Sentenced for Stalking Former Models

SAN DIEGO —  A San Diego man formerly employed by GirlsDoPorn was sentenced Friday to a year and a day in prison for stalking the 22 former models who sued the website and its owners and employees before a criminal sex trafficking investigation shuttered it.

As XBIZ reported, Alexander Brian Foster, who once served as cameraman for GirlsDoPorn, pleaded guilty in January to a single federal stalking charge.

Foster admitted that he was hired by GirlsDoPorn’s owners to create a derogatory video titled “22 Whores + 5 Shady Lawyers VS GirlsDoPorn,” the intent of which, according to the U.S. attorney’s office, was “to intimidate the women who had brought the lawsuit and retaliate against them by identifying them in a very public manner.”

The prosecutors stated that GirlsDoPorn owner Michael Pratt and his main associate, Matthew Wolfe, hired Foster to create the video, which was apparently never released on the internet.

During the civil and criminal actions, victims’ lawyers and prosecutors alleged that Pratt at some point controlled the adult industry gossip website Porn Wikileaks in order to blackmail the models with threats of exposure.

In July 2022, Wolfe pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit sex trafficking. The San Diego Daily Tribune reported that Wolfe admitted as part of his plea that he was “aware that the names and social media accounts for some women were posted on another website controlled by Pratt, resulting in severe harassment of the women by internet trolls. Still, Wolfe and others continued to assure recruits that their videos, and identities, would remain secret.”

In December 2022, Pratt was captured in Madrid, Spain, after escaping the U.S. in 2019 and becoming one of the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted Fugitives starting in 2021.

As of last month, Pratt was being held in Madrid by Spanish authorities pending extradition to the U.S.
