Judge Freezes GirlsDoPorn Assets, Orders Liquidation

Judge Freezes GirlsDoPorn Assets, Orders Liquidation

SAN DIEGO — A San Diego judge issued yesterday a temporary restraining order freezing the assets of GirlsDoPorn’s owner Michael Pratt and associates, who are currently being sued for fraud in civil court by 22 former models and have also been charged by the Department of Justice with sex trafficking.

Judge Wohlfeil, according to a Courthouse News report, “also ordered payment processing companies which tender subscription payments to the GirlsDoPorn website to refuse any changes including ‘causing any of these processors to deposit funds or cryptocurrency into a new account.’”

Pratt and the other defendants “were also ordered to send all funds, documents or assets in foreign countries to the United States within five business days."

The judge “found good cause to believe immediate and irreparable harm will affect the Does based on actions the defendants ‘admitted’ including disposing of and transferring assets overseas and claiming insolvency.”

A hearing on a preliminary injunction and appointment of a receiver to oversee GirlsDoPorn’s assets has been scheduled for November 19.

The defense in the civil trial has asked Superior Court Judge Kevin Enright to stay the civil case pending the assets matter. Enright will consider the matter today.

Yesterday, at the civil trial, a woman named Jamia McDonald testified that she dated Kevin Gibson, a Pratt associate and housemate, for two years and that “Gibson paid her $300 a week in 2018 to make harassing phone calls to attorney Brian Holm, one of the attorneys representing the Does.”

McDonald also claimed Pratt and Gibson forged a compromising photograph allegedly showing a nude Holm and two other people and then made her text it to the Jane Does’ attorney.

McDonald testified Gibson “refused to give me any real information about what I was doing, just that I needed to do it or he would get someone else to.”

A new hearing for the civil trial is scheduled for today.
