Porn aide jailed

-

As fugitive Kiwi porn king Michael Pratt continues to evade the authoritie­s, one of his co-accused has been sentenced to 20 years behind bars. American Ruben Andre Garcia, 31, has faced a court in San Diego, while Pratt’s friend and fellow New Zealander Matthew Wolfe waits in a US jail for his trial. Two other defendants in the case have pleaded guilty and a third plans to fight her case. Pratt reportedly fled the US in 2019, with the FBI currently offering a $70,000 reward for informatio­n leading to his arrest. Among Pratt’s offerings was adult video provider Girls Do Porn, which touted itself as offering videos of young women in “the one and only time they do porn”. The reality was more complex and far more sinister. Garcia, who pleaded guilty in December 2020, admitted that he and Pratt were the lead recruiters for Girls Do Porn and its sister sites.
