The Hard Rock Hotel in San Diego's Gaslamp Quarter wants to make you feel like a star. Adhered to the wall behind the front desk is a colorful photo looking out at a raucous crowd from the stage at a rock concert.

See just how young 18 is.

A few blocks north up Fifth Avenue, guests at the boutique four-star hotel Kimpton Hotel Palomar San Diego are immersed in "SoCal chic" design, popjazz playing on the hotel's sound system and a tattooed bartender slinging pricey cocktails at the poolside bar on the roof.

Fourteen women, ranging in age from 18 through 22, including one still in high school, may have felt like stars when they walked into these downtown San Diego hotels. But a few hours later they left feeling degraded, abused, underpaid, and humiliated. That's what four of them allege in a lawsuit they filed in June 2016 against Matthew Wolfe, Michael Pratt, Andre Garcia, and their popular amateur website, girlsdoporn.com. Six months later, ten other women joined the lawsuit.

According to the lawsuit, the women each entered into financial agreements with the three men for a few hours of filming them having sex for private collectors in Australia or South America. But they allege that the film sessions devolved into a day of rough sex, mistreatment, and lies. It worsened when guarantees of anonymity were broken and the men posted the videos on their popular amateur pornography website, girlsdoporn.com, as well as on to free conglomerate porn sites as a way to advertise. Making matters worse, the women's identities and contact information were leaked on the internet for friends and families to see.
Modeling ads on Craigslist

For the 14 women, and hundreds of others that have appeared on girlsdoporn.com since the website launched in 2011, their introduction to the adult film industry began by searching Craigslist for modeling jobs.

During their search they found one from San Diego-based modeling agencies beginemodeling.com, exploretalent.com, and Bubblegum Casting. The ads were posted on Craigslist pages in cities such as Las Vegas, San Diego, Dallas, Alberta, Canada, Los Angeles, as well as in populous counties in North Carolina, Louisiana, Florida, and Tennessee.

But the so-called modeling agencies were fakes. The blank forms embedded on the websites required that only women between the ages of 18 and 22 apply. Applicants were then asked to submit pictures and list their body dimensions and other personal information.
The pitch

Shortly after submitting the online form, the women say, a phone call came from a man with a thick Australian accent identified as Matthew Wolfe.

Wolfe told them that the gig, while technically considered modeling, is really having sex on camera in exchange for a few thousand dollars. Wolfe says their names would be kept confidential. The videos, only in DVD format, are only sold to private buyers and independent video stores in Australia and South America and are not for release on the web or in the US.

To sweeten the deal, Wolfe promises an all-expenses paid trip to San Diego. The videos are shot at upscale hotels along San Diego Bay and throughout San Diego County, at hotels such as the Kimpton Palomar Hotel, the Coronado Island Marriott, the Hard Rock Hotel, the Hilton Bayfront, and the La Valencia Hotel in La Jolla.

According to the lawsuit, Wolfe offers the women anywhere from $2000 to $5000 for a few hours of "work." If still on the fence, Wolfe provides them a reference; a woman they can speak to who recently shot a video with the men and can attest to their professionalism and that the models' true identities remain hidden.

When the women agree, Wolfe acts fast to book their travel in order to prevent them from backing out.

The lawsuit addresses what is a growing trend in the adult film industry, which features young women, oftentimes still in their teens, appearing in amateur and "reality" adult films.

The younger the girls are, the better, for Wolfe, Pratt, and Garcia, according to the website's social media profiles.

"Just finished shooting a girl still in high school..." read a post on the website's Instagram page in April 2014.

Three months later the men bragged about another woman.

"Shooting a girl who turned 18 ten days...ago. Happy late birthday," reads the profile followed by a smiley face emoticon.
And... action

Once in San Diego, the young women were brought to their hotel rooms where they are handed contracts to sign. According to the lawsuit, the men rush the women to sign quickly so they can get started filming. In some cases, the lawsuit alleges, they tell them it is only for tax purposes and legalese that the women need not concern themselves with. The contracts say nothing of private buyers.

The filming begins. The women sit on the bed. Wolfe, in Australian accent, interviews them. He tells them to state their age. He asks if they are nervous; if they work or go to school. He asks why they decided to do a porn video. Most of the women respond that they are in need of cash. Some say the money will help pay for college tuition. Wolfe then asks more personal questions: how old they were when they lost their virginity, if they have boyfriends, and whether they told anyone they were going to do a porn film?

It is then that Andre Garcia, the actor enters. Garcia likes it rough. He slaps them. Forces copulation. Filming lasts a number of hours and involves several takes, the women allege. Three of the four women who filed the lawsuit claim that the men ignored them when they expressed discomfort or wanted to stop filming.

Reads the lawsuit, "After the filming begins, and/or when the young women are told what to do, if they refuse or say they are uncomfortable or in pain, the defendants often yell at them saying it is too late to change their minds and they cannot leave the hotel room. Further, the filming often takes much longer than the[y] promised - often the young women are confined in the hotel room and forced to film and have sex for many hours. Even worse, the young women are sometimes forced to have sex when not filming to appease [Garcia]."

Sad how stupid young people are. And how they think $4000 is "a lot of money"...

Vice President Mike Pence and AG Sessions live for shit like this ...

hope they will end up in jail

thanks to primitive assholes like these the whole industry has such bad reputation, making it harder for serious and honest producers

" having sex for private collectors in Australia or South America" - Who are they kidding? Even those duck lip twats can't be that dumb.

Paying the girls $3000-$4000? Wow that is a LOT for a porn shoot. Are the girls really getting paid that much?

Read the article ... they tell them $4000 fly them in... do some maxhardcore style porn and then throw $400 bucks at them and throw them out of hotel room.

Too late ??

long time coming

see sig :2 cents:

I've know their game for years, i found Bubblegum Casting years ago and could readily see what its purpose was, their ads have been plastered all over Craigslist day in day out, the recruiter who i think is the owner/shooter is relentless in recruiting round the clock, i answered his ad impersonating a girl with some ex-gf style pics, he only told me it paid as much as $5000 and kept including how the guys they film are hot and not like the regular male stunt cocks. I was trying to get him to tell me who would see the video but he wouldn't say any more via email, kept emailing me to call him - it is IMPOSSIBLE to recruit that many pretty first time girls to do hardcore porn without lying to many of them about what the content is being shot for. I've communicated with 3 or 4 girls who've shot for GDP, one said that she had no idea the video was going to be published online, never heard the name Girlsdoporn, but she did say she wasn't explicitly lied to, that she made a big mistake for the quick cash and didn't ask enough questions. When this ends up in court if it does I am sure they will have girls who will testify that they weren't lied to. I assume the ones who were more cautious/nervous got the 'private collector' story. The girls in this lawsuit will have to be believable in their story that they just aren't looking for revenge for making a mistake they are remorseful about and were deliberately lied to about the intent of the shoot and the nature of the contract they were signing.

The article says the site began in 2011, seems longer to me.

What happens if you hire a hooker legally in a Vegas brothel for instance and then refuse to pay what was discussed?..

I guess you will find yourself with a broken nose and lose a few teeth - What can be done legally though?....

They don't sound like good people - It might be worth rethinking this post if you know what I mean...

Bottom line: If a woman accepts cash money to have sex on camera and then somehow doesn't think that video will end up EVERYWHERE she is just a sad, naïve fool. Of course these are the types some producers go after but these days, with technology and Twitter and smart phones etc, I'm shocked Millenials would be this fucking clueless.

Then again, many 18 year olds do not make wise decisions in any area of their life. :(

they are 18

do you know a lot of smart 18 year olds?

I only said some of the girls contend they were lied to, there's a girl on MFC who talks about her GDP adventure all the time because guys in her chatroom recognize her and want to know how it happened and if she will do more porn. She's a girl who wasn't lied to, her only complaint was the stunt cock was an asshole who insulted her looks.

Their lawyer says they have video of each girl talking into the camera saying they understood what's in the contract. I don't like their chances of winning the lawsuit.

I tend to overreact - I just don't like poking the hornets nest...

I bet being raped wasn't in the contract.

They claim that after saying 'stop' the stuntcock would just hold them down and continue.

Unfortunately a lot of 'stunt cocks' are steroid-fueled quasi-gay (either suppressed or gay-for-pay) woman haters who see every girl as a cum bucket slut idiot who deserves to be treated as garbage. Many of them are shorter guys too with Napoleon complexes because while they may have a huge dick they are still shorter than the girls they fuck, fueling their hatred towards them.

Also, once you've fucked 1000 girls some guys need to go to that angry rage place just to feel anything at all and get the pop shot (no pop shot, no pay). Shooting porn can be like a factory sometimes and all that matters is the end product but that's a fucked up thing when the 'products' are human beings.

daaaaaaaaaaaaamn!!

Sure they gonna sue if the company broke the rule

Not good at all and a block from my studio on 4th & K damn!

If their accusations are valid those girls were done a lot of wrong. I hope justice is done and any victims made whole.

When did "Alberta" and "Canada" become cities?

This is the only interesting part of the case I can see.

Its gonna be tough to get around the signed model releases that I am sure had the necessary we can do whatever we want with the footage, blah, blah, blah.

Ask the frat boys from "Borat" how their "20th Century Fox lied to us claim" went to get their releases thrown out.

Sad that some people don't realize $10 is a lot to many people. But, if you mean't via suing, yes, they could sue for much more :2 cents:

I think they've offered some models more than that. Thats not alot of money when you consider they cut costs in other areas. Their costs are extremely low and their memberbase is large. Only update 4 times a month

Other companies overpay an entire production team and pay 1000+ for a location, nevermind agency fees, etc

Very true but I think they were offered 3-4K but actually paid much less, like a few hundred. :(

Lying to people you do business with is fucked up as is pressuring someone much smaller and weaker than you. On the other hand no one feels bad for 18 year old boys who join the army and then realize that they've made a huge mistake and that choice can often end with permanent injury or death.

So true...

Why would any gay guy want to join the army?

Lesbos I can see because it gives them "butchness" points and is as close to getting a cock as they can do.

I thought the story was fake since it didn't mention a docket number but I did a little search at the SD Courthouse's website and, here it is, View Case Detail .

The lawsuit is real. This isn't fake news.

same for honest and hardworking models, when people make life difficult for them to promote their businesses in forums...

fking trolls :disgust

Yeah Okkkkkkkay ...garry :321GFY

Women make shit up all the time! I've seen there videos and style and there accusations are not the style porn that they shoot. The porn they shoot is basic manilla style porn and they even wear condoms which most productions don't!

These whiny bitches sound like young females who regret doing porn they only have themselves to blame! If they did force them to have sex then they should be filling charges and not suing them! Maybe they weren't paid the money they where promised which sounds like that's the probably issue here!

You must mean vanilla.

Yandex Expert op

IMO

The girls were lied to and a jury will find in their favour.

Normally you pay beforehand

And half the money will go to the lawyers who rounded up the girls.
