That turned out to be a lie, as their videos wound up on GirlsDoPorn, a website with plenty of American viewers.
One of the site's owners, 36-year-old Michael Pratt, fled the United States last month. Co-owner Matthew Wolfe, 37, was arrested on Tuesday. Ruben Garcia, 31, the male performer in many of the site's videos, was arrested on Wednesday.
The Daily Beast reports that "girls begged Moser to remove their videos, offering to return their earnings, or pay extra. For the first year at Girls Do Porn, Moser would forward these messages to Pratt. He often told her to block their numbers. She did."
Courthouse News reporter Bianca Bruno posted a copy of the criminal indictment in the case. It accuses Garcia, the male performer in many of the videos, of raping two of the women.
After one woman flew to San Diego, Garcia allegedly picked her up and took her to a hotel room. There he "began groping" her and forced her to kiss him. Garcia then allegedly said "I need to take you for a test drive before tomorrow," pushed her down onto her back, and raped her. The next day, she was allegedly rushed through signing a contract. She had sex with Garcia, which "was frequently painful because he was aggressive and indifferent." According to the indictment, she woman remembers being told "stop being a whiny little bitch" when she asked to take breaks due to the pain. After the video appeared online, the woman's parents kicked her out of the house, "told her not to come back and disowned her."
A second woman reported that she was forced to perform oral sex on Garcia even though she had not agreed to do that. She wanted to stop and leave. However, the indictment said, "she did not know how to extricate herself" because there was lighting equipment blocking the exit door. Moreover, she said, she felt that "based on their body language, demeanor, and tone of voice," Garcia and Wolfe "were in control and they might hurt her if she did not comply." After a five-hour photo shoot, Garcia allegedly offered to take this second woman back to her car. Instead, he drove her to a nearby parking lot, locked the doors, and "tried to kiss her and make physical advances toward her." She "attempted to evade Garcia by climbing into the back seat and telling him that she was not interested and wanted to leave." According to the indictment, he followed her into the backseat and raped her
