GirlsDoPorn Owner Sued for Fraud by 22 Models Has Left the U.S.

SAN DIEGO — Michael Pratt, the owner of website Girls Do Porn currently being sued by several of the site's models in a San Diego courtroom, has left the country and his whereabouts are unknown, lawyers for the 22 "Jane Does" told the court yesterday.

Pratt, a native of New Zealand, was reportedly set to testify in the upcoming weeks.

According to a report by the local NBC station:

On Tuesday, attorneys for the 22 women who are suing the website, Girls Do Porn, its owner Michael Pratt, videographer Matthew Wolfe, and actor and director Ruben 'Andre' Garcia, said they were informed that Pratt was no longer in the country, despite being under subpoena to testify.

'We have been informed that [Pratt] is no longer in the jurisdiction and is no longer available to testify, even though he is under court order to here in court,' said lead attorney Ed Chapin.

“I have never had this happen before. We are going to be running it to ground and asking the court for whatever relief we can get,” a surprised Chapin commented

GirlsDoPorn and Pratt's attorney, Daniel Kaplan, alleges that his client's disappearance should not be considered suspicious.

“It doesn’t have anything to do with the trial,” Kaplan told reporters according to NBC. “The trial date was uncertain for a number of months and the case has been going on for three years. People still have their lives to lead, including the defendants.”

Kaplan claimed Pratt will continue "to participate in the case."
