SAN DIEGO —  A San Diego man formerly employed by GirlsDoPorn was sentenced Friday to a year and a day in prison for stalking the 22 former models who sued the website and its owners and employees before a criminal sex trafficking investigation shuttered it.

As XBIZ reported, Alexander Brian Foster, who once had served as cameraman for GirlsDoPorn, pleaded guilty in January to a single federal stalking charge.

Foster admitted he was hired by GirlsDoPorn’s owners to create a derogatory video publicly identifying the women who had sued the company.

According to the U.S. attorney’s office, the intent of the video — titled “22 Whores + 5 Shady Lawyers VS GirlsDoPorn” — was “to intimidate the women who had brought the lawsuit and retaliate against them by identifying them in a very public manner.”

The prosecutors also said that GirlsDoPorn owner Michael Pratt and his main associate, Matthew Wolfe, hired Foster to create the video, which was apparently never released on the internet.

During the civil and criminal actions, victims’ lawyers and prosecutors alleged that Pratt at some point controlled the adult industry gossip website Porn Wikileaks in order to blackmail the models with threats of exposure.

In July 2022, Wolfe pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit sex trafficking and admitted as part of his plea that “he was aware that the names and social media accounts for some women were posted on another website controlled by Pratt, resulting in severe harassment of the women by internet trolls. Still, Wolfe and others continued to assure recruits that their videos, and identifies, would remain secret.”

In December 2022, Pratt was captured in Madrid, Spain, after escaping the U.S. in 2019 and becoming one of the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted Fugitives since 2021.

As of last month, Pratt was being held in Madrid by Spanish authorities pending extradition to the U.S.

PHILADELPHIA — Brenna McKenna is the latest guest on both “The SDR Show,” with radio personality Ralph Sutton and comedian Big Jay Oakerson, and “The Happy Hour Podcast,” with Ray Chace and comedian Erik Woodworth.

For her latest appearance on “The SDR Show,” McKenna was joined by her friend, content creator and dancer Lydia Rose, where the duo played a few rounds of “What’s in the Box” before a climactic ending.

McKenna said of her return to “The SDR Show,” which streamed live on April 26, “I have come to love the crew at ‘SDR’ and have so much fun every time. However this episode is the best. It is the most intimate yet most chaotic episode yet.”

Next, on “The Happy Hour Podcast, host Chace noted, “We were super excited to have Brenna on. If you know anything about this show, you know it’s bound to be wild. If you don’t, then just know it’s going to be wild. If you’ve seen other shows with Brenna on them, I guarantee ours isn’t like any other.”

McKenna similarly enthused about her appearance on the show.

“Even I am surprised with how much I laughed and revealed on this episode with the guys at ‘The Happy Hour Pod.’ The chemistry was so tangible that I was invited on again to act as guest host. Stream the episode to watch it all unfold.”

SALT LAKE CITY — Pornhub disabled today access to its platform from all Utah IP addresses in response to the state’s latest anti-porn law, which goes into effect Wednesday.

SB 287 — one of several anti-porn measures promoted in Utah by the Republican Party, which controls all branches of government — is an analog measure to the religiously inspired Louisiana age verification bill which went into effect January 1.

The LDS Church — a powerful force in a state with a documented history of little separation between church, state, law, business and education — considers all pornography as a ploy by “the adversary” (aka Satan) specifically created to destroy Mormon households by tempting the male heads of the family.

Pornhub responded to the challenge presented by SB 287 by cutting off access to its content for Utah-based IP addresses, and replacing the landing page with a SFW video where Cherie DeVille explains the reasons for the content restriction.

“As you may know,” DeVille says, “your elected officials in Utah are requiring us to verify your age before allowing you access to our website. While safety and compliance are at the forefront of our mission, giving your ID card every time you want to visit an adult platform is not the most effective solution for protecting our users, and in fact, will put children and your privacy at risk.” 

Emphasizing the fact that mandating age verification without proper enforcement gives platforms the opportunity to choose whether or not to comply, De Ville continues, “as we’ve seen in other states, this just drives traffic to sites with far fewer safety measures in place. Very few sites are able to compare to the robust Trust and Safety measures we currently have in place. To protect children and user privacy, any legislation must be enforced against all platforms offering adult content.”

The safety of our users, DeVille adds, “is one of our biggest concerns. We believe that the best and most effective solution for protecting children and adults alike is to identify users by their device and allow access to age-restricted materials and websites based on that identification. Until a real solution is offered, we have made the difficult decision to completely disable access to our website in Utah.”

The video ends with a call to action with DeVille asking Utah citizens to “please contact your representatives before it is too late and demand device-based verification solutions that make the internet safer while also respecting your privacy.”

As XBIZ reported, the Mormon church has resisted any attempts to discuss scientific and evidence-care, and has staunchly promoted a “porn is Satan’s weapon” view that led to a religious obsession with “porn filters.” Utah has often been the first state to easily pass unscientific anti-porn legislation, and actively supports the ostensibly “non-religious” crusading organization Fight the New Drug.

LOS ANGELES — Sinn Sage and Trouble Films have released a new title, “Strap On Sinners 3: All Stars.”

The latest addition to the series includes five scenes starring Sage alongside Cherie DeVille, Lena Paul, Kenna James, Emily Addison and Angel Dark.

“This time around, I really wanted to showcase the many sexy talents of some of the award-winning performers I’ve been blessed enough to make scenes with,” said Sage. “‘Strap On Sinners 3: All Stars’ does just that, highlighting just a few of the best lesbian sex performers in the industry. These scenes really display the different ways in which sapphic pleasures can be expressed and enjoyed, and the chemistry is absolutely on fire in this release. I feel so lucky to have been able to take my cock to all of these incredible women.”

Regarding the new release, Trouble Films’ Courtney Trouble said, “I’m beyond excited that Sinn Sage is presenting another ‘Strap On Sinners.’ This series is perfect for Sinn’s brand and so important for the lesbian porn genre. It’s really crucial to have porn out there that shows genuine love for the showcased sex acts and Sinn does that with strap-on content. She loves making it and as a queer person watching her strap-on scenes myself, I know what I’m watching is reflecting my own desires and my own sex life. This is real lesbian porn and another classic for Sinn.”

“Strap On Sinners 3: All Stars” is available now at Sinn-Sage and TroubleFilms.

LAS VEGAS — Severe Sex Films has released the fifth installment of their fetish feature series “Kinky Cuckold.”

Directed by studio co-owner Dee Severe, the title features co-owner/performer Jimmy Broadway with Sophia Locke, Dillon Diaz, Pierce Paris, Sheena Ryder, Sarah DiAvola, Cole Church, Draven Navarro and Vanessa Vega.

“When we say kinky, we mean it,” said Severe. “FemDom does remain our core audience, but KC gives us a chance to explore fun new vistas in the FemDom world.”

Broadway praised the release.

“While I have done numerous cuckolding scenes for other companies,” he said. “The ones I shoot for Severe Sex are my favorite because we aren’t locked into a format. We explore all of the aspects of the cuckolding and hotwifing fetishes, often taking them places that other companies wouldn’t even consider. With an amazing group of performers who can really act, on top of being hot and sexually adventurous, I think that our cuckold scenes are the best in the business.”

LOS ANGELES — Wicked Sensual Care has unveiled a new set of Simply Aqua Special Edition reseller resources in preparation for Pride in June.

The company is offering new promotional assets in the form of Simply Aqua Special Edition packets, giveaways for events and a forthcoming retail display contest.

Founded in September 2021, Wicked Sensual Care donates a portion of all sales of its Simply Aqua Special Edition to charitable organizations serving the LGBTQ+ community. According to the company, to date nearly $35,000 has been contributed to organizations such as the Marsha P. Johnson Institute, the Trevor Project, Trans Lifeline, APLA, Trans Santa, Black and Pink, Immigration Equality, Tending the Garden and more.

Maximizing Simply Aqua Special Edition sales at the retail level, a rep explained, “will provide critical support for those dedicated to bettering the lives of LGBTQ+ individuals and raise awareness about the systemic inequalities facing the LGBTQ+ population.”

“Our sentiment this year is to be yourself,” the rep said. “While we’re able to celebrate because many hard-fought battles have been won, LGBTQ+ rights are still under attack today, just as reproductive rights are. Conservative media, in particular, is increasingly focused on ‘culture wars’ targeting LGBTQ+ education and issues, particularly those impacting the trans community. Trans rights are human rights, and it is incumbent on us to provide resources and support to those who cannot be out. You are seen. You are valued. We’re proud — and empathetic — year-round.”

Wicked Sensual Care Director of Sales Jennifer Brice noted that retailers serve communities made up of people from many different backgrounds.

“I’m very happy to see them ensure their workforce reflects the diverse nature of these communities,” she said. “This includes their lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer-plus employees and, of course, customers. We’re excited to make special assets available to our retail and distribution partners, and we encourage them to get their orders for Aqua Special Edition in early for Pride month, so they can keep their inventories replenished … and join us on our journey as we support LGBTQ+ organizations.”

Further support for retailers can be found on the WSC B2B Portal, including digital and printable one-sheets with hi-res art for merchandising assistance, suggested messaging to consumers — including the social media-friendly #loveissimplylove — as well as a calendar highlighting domestically and internationally recognized dates of observance that focus on LGBTQ+ history, awareness and celebration.

Wicked Sensual Care has also curated a Spotify playlist for inspiration.
