GirlsDoPorn: Charges Against 'Reference Woman' Dropped

SAN DIEGO — The prosecutors in the GirlsDoPorn criminal case have dropped charges against a woman who admitted to having acted as a “reference woman” for the site’s owners, falsely assuring prospective models that the scenes would only be sold overseas.

“The U.S. Attorney’s Office said in its notice to the judge that it was dismissing Amberlyn Dee Nored from the prosecution ‘to satisfy the ends of justice,’” the San Diego Union-Tribune reported Tuesday.

Nored, also known as Amberlyn Clark, testified in the 2019 civil trial of owner Michael Pratt and other GirlsDoPorn staffers. As XBIZ reported, she was later identified as one of the defendants in the criminal case.

Nored, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported, was “accused of being paid to falsely assure women that she had participated in videos herself and that her videos had not been posted online in an effort to make recruits feel more comfortable, according to testimony in the [civil] lawsuit filed by 22 women.”

The January 2019 federal indictment named Pratt, male talent and scout Ruben Andre "Dre" Garcia, Matthew Wolfe, Theodore "Teddy" Gyi, Valorie Moser and Amberlyn Nored/Clark as co-conspirators in the GDP operation.

Garcia was sentenced to 20 years in June after pleading guilty in December 2020 to the charges of conspiracy to commit sex trafficking by force, fraud and coercion; and sex trafficking by force, fraud and coercion.

Pratt has been a fugitive from U.S. federal authorities since late 2019 and was last presumed to be in his native New Zealand two years ago.

In October 2021, the FBI raised the reward offered for information leading to Pratt’s arrest to $50,000.
