SAN DIEGO — A third former GirlsDoPorn (GDP) employee charged by federal authorities with sex trafficking conspiracy pled guilty on Friday, according to a local San Diego news report.

Valorie Moser, identified by NBC San Diego as “a bookkeeper” for the site owned by fugitive Michael Pratt, worked for GDP from 2015 to 2018.

According to the news report, Moser “served a number of administrative functions, including providing travel arrangements and transportation for women arriving in San Diego to appear in GirlsDoPorn videos.”

“Moser’s plea to a conspiracy charge came with admissions that she was aware the women were being falsely assured by the website’s operators that the videos would not be uploaded onto the internet and that they would only be distributed to private customers,” NBC San Diego reported.

According to the federal prosecutors who negotiated Moser’s plea, she testified that “she was told by her co-defendants to block any calls from the women” attempting to get their videos removed from the site.

As XBIZ reported, male talent and videographer Ruben Andre “Dre” Garcia — who has also been accused of rape by some of the models — and cameraman Theodore “Teddy” Gyi, who is presumed to have been cooperating with authorities before the indictments were unsealed, have also pleaded guilty and await sentencing.

New Zealand native and mastermind of the operation Michael Pratt remains a fugitive, with a $10,000 reward offered for information that could lead to his arrest.

Moser is due to be sentenced July 2.

LOS ANGELES – SexLikeReal.com has released a new VR fantasy, starring Marica Hase and Avery Black, from director Alex Nash and Evan Redstar as director of photography.

As they don revealing outfits, the starlets are “ready to indulge the viewer in some fetishistic fun, but, just when the spectator thought it couldn’t get any saucier, the ladies reveal that they’ve added a naughty sci-fi element to the romp: the ability to stop time and freeze either or both of these foxes while the viewer has his way with them,” explained a rep. “The deepest of desires are explored as Hase and Black use every salacious trick in their considerable sexual repertoire to show their lover the time of his life.”

The fantasy was shot in 6K with a 200-degree FOV and can be found at SexLikeReal.com.

LOS ANGELES — According to director Ivan, Alt Erotic model Misha Montana has suffered a stroke and a GoFundMe has been created to help with medical bills.

Last Thursday, according to Ivan, Montana “woke up in a panic. She immediately noticed something was wrong when she was unable to formulate words and realized half of her face and arm had gone numb and lost all sensation. To add to the horror of an already frightening scenario, Misha was almost two hours away from a hospital. She jumped into her SUV and headed down the mountain with one operable arm and not knowing if she would make it in time to save her life.”

“Imagine losing sensation in half your body, driving yourself to an emergency room and being completely overwhelmed by panicking thoughts, “What is going on? How will this impact my life and my family? How do I recoup from this? Will I survive this? Can I make it to the hospital in time?” the Alt Erotic director continued.

When Montana finally arrived to the hospital, Ivan said, “it was determined that she had suffered a stroke. Complications from blood clots and an undiagnosed heart condition put the starlet in serious danger, and she is lucky and thankful to have lived through a situation that is fatal to many.”

‘A Positive Outlook’

“Misha is one of the strongest people I know,” he added. “She is also a grounded well adjusted intelligent woman who understands the aspects of humanity in sharing and helping others. This is not a set back for this fantastic lady, this in another opportunity for her to show the world her human side as well as the strength of a positive mindset.”

Montana added that this “has been such an emotional and scary time in my life. I have been working extremely hard on building my brand and producing unique, authentic content. While this health situation tests my limits and abilities, it doesn’t define or break me. If anything, I’d like to use this moment as an opportunity of optimism, strength, positivity and perseverance. It’s a pivot to keep creating and sharing my story.”

“I have a positive outlook about making a comeback to porn after a stroke, I’m determined to. I’ll just get better at left-handed, hand jobs,” she added.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Adult performers and other sex workers are warning against a new legislative attempt to expand on the harms to the community effected by FOSTA-SESTA by further eroding Section 230 protections.

In a piece published today by Vice’s Motherboard vertical, sex worker groups spoke out against the Safeguarding Against Fraud, Exploitation, Threats, Extremism, and Consumer Harms Act — or SAFE TECH Act.

The bill was re-introduced to the Senate in February by Democratic Senator Mark Warner (Virginia) and co-sponsored by Senators Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii) and Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn).

“Supporters of the SAFE TECH Act want to further limit the scope of Section 230, making companies responsible for policing user speech on online platforms,” explains Vice’s Lauren Crosby Medlicott in the article, quoting a March interview with Warner when he was promoting the bill.

“What I don’t want is to have these giant providers continue to use Section 230 as this immunity, a kind of ‘get-out-of-jail-free’ card,” Warner said.

However, Medlicott continues, “sex workers and free speech advocates warn that eliminating these liability protections means greater censorship of online platforms as companies try to reduce the risk of landing in legal trouble as a result of third-party user content.”

A Bill That Would ‘Inevitably Harm’ Marginalized Groups

“The SAFE TECH Act would mean I can’t afford to run my own website and will lose income from many other sites,” said performer and activist Mary Moody. “It will impact any social media platforms I use for marketing.”

Other voices in the sex work community also spoke to Vice about their concerns.

Jason Kelley, a digital strategist at digital rights advocacy group Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), explained that Section 230 “underpins much of the internet, offering legal protections for companies, news organizations, creators of all stripes, political activists, nonprofits, libraries, educators, governments and regular users.”

”Without it, any online service that did continue to exist would more than likely opt for censoring more user-generated content — and that would inevitably harm marginalized groups more than others,” Kelley added.

Sex workers, Medlicott wrote, “would be one of those marginalized groups affected by SAFE TECH, and many fear that their work and safety will be compromised if the bill passes.”

SAFE TECH’s Downstream Effect

Blair Hopkins, deputy director of sex worker advocacy group SWOP Behind Bars, told Vice she’s  dreading the “inevitable” Section 230 reform.

“Section 230 protects sex workers in a kind of ancillary way because it allows them to conduct their business on platforms without interruption from the platforms,” she added, expressing concern that SAFE TECH will have “a downstream effect of unintended consequences.” 

According to Medlicott, “while FOSTA was touted as a way to curb human trafficking by creating liability for platforms that facilitated trafficking, it simply didn’t work. In fact, the increased vulnerabilities of sex workers resulting from FOSTA, combined with the new difficulties police had tracking traffickers, actually meant that FOSTA increased cases of human trafficking.”

BOSTON — A federal judge rejected yesterday several memos filed by the counsel of the Martha’s Vineyard landlord who is suing Mile High Media and several associates for a 2014 incident involving artwork in her rental property, which she claimed could be seen onscreen in several adult videos.

In an unusually stern ruling, U.S. District Judge Patti B. Saris lambasted three memos filed by attorney John A. Taylor, representing landlord Leah Bassett, which were filed late, deemed too long and filled with “insulting or pejorative” language towards Mile High and the other defendants.

The filings, according to a report by legal news site Law360, “focused in part on Leah Bassett’s efforts to learn how much Mile High Distribution Inc. made in profits from films shot at her home in Aquinnah, Massachusetts.”

‘Emotional Distress’ and Copyright Issues

As XBIZ has reported, in her original 2018 complaint, Bassett — a sometime artist whose paintings decorated her Martha’s Vineyard rental property — had named now-retired producer and director Nica Noelle and her former collaborator, Joshua Darling; the distributor of their content, Mile High; and others as defendants, accusing them in a civil lawsuit of a laundry list of violations against herself (such as fraud and emotional distress), her property and her copyrighted art.

In May 2020, Judge Saris granted Mile High and the other co-defendants their motion to dismiss counts I (Breach of Contract), II (Trespass), III (Negligence), VI (Civil Fraud), X (Civil RICO) and XI (Defamation).

Bassett was allowed to continue the lawsuit on counts IV (Chapter 93A), V (Civil Conspiracy), VII (Infliction of Emotional and Mental Distress) and VIII (Interference with Contractual Relations).

The trial is scheduled for August, 2021, after an August 2020 ruling that allowed Bassett to claim copyright on the artworks.

‘Vexatious and Inappropriate’

Judge Saris gave Bassett one week to cut her 53-page motions down to the 20-page filing limit, Law 360 reported, and “excise their ‘vexatious and inappropriate’ language. Mile High and the other defendants get two weeks to respond, after which Judge Saris said she would decide whether to entertain the motions.”

Bassett’s attorney told Law360 “he will apologize to the court for the filing length oversight,” and added that he “wasn’t certain what specific language in the memos the court took issue with.”

LOS ANGELES — Magic Silk and Male Power are touting a successful SPAM (Sex Professionals and Manufacturers) Facebook takeover last month which included live chat meet-and-greets, games, giveaways and retailer training about the company’s product lines.

“The social network got a lot more sociable recently,” a rep enthused. “The combined companies dominated the SPAM site with images of their bestselling products, a behind-the-scenes look at the headquarters of the intimate apparel giant and a series of casual interviews with their amazing staff members.”

Magic Silk/Male Power is the first lingerie company to hold the spotlight for a SPAM takeover.

“For five successive days, from March 8-12, visitors to the page were given an enlightening and sometimes lighthearted close view of this industry leader. Video postings were created by their talented graphics department and presented a brief history of Magic Silk and Male Power prior to and following their merger,” the rep said.

“Included were rare photos of Male Power Founder Sam Baker dating back to the 1970s, and images of Magic Silk’s humble beginnings in the basement of President Jeffrey Baker’s home,” continued the rep. “Members of the Male Power team — Ron, MaryBeth and Miss Liz — and the Magic Silk team, including Dina, Dave, and Lori, spoke about their jobs, their interests and their families.”

The company’s social media takeover launched, noted the rep, with “a Facebook live chat conducted by Barbara, the ‘smile behind the style’ of Exposed lingerie, and a live staff meet-and-greet including Jeff Baker himself, the ‘man behind the Magic.’ Taking a page from Oprah, Jeff rewarded all of the event participants with free samples of their best selling Bamboo garments.”

A “provocative pop quiz,” called “Expose the Power,” was the first game of the week.

“Viewers really knew their sexy stuff because three winners emerged in less than five minutes,” the rep said. “The day ended with ‘Lingerie Lingo and Jockstrap Jabber,’ a live presentation by Blanca, the company’s field sales and training representative, who helped organize and oversee the entire event. She conveyed basic but essential information about lingerie and intimate apparel.”

The remainder of the week included demonstrations and instruction about the company’s various lines, including Exposed, Male Power, Sexy Time and Lust and top-selling collections such as Bamboo and the “extremely popular” Exposed Seamless garments.

Daily games, hosted by Blanca, included “Bondage Bingo,” “Jock Strap Jeopardy” and “Panty Raid Word Search.”

“The biggest challenge of the week was a Display Contest, where participants were encouraged to show their creativity,” the rep recalled, noting more than 45 prizes were ultimately handed out. “The two top prizes went to Anjanette from Enchantasys in Ramsey, Minnesota for her brick-and-mortar design; and Kriszy Nicole, CEO of NaughtyDreams.com, and half of the podcast duo Naughty Cherry, for her website layout.”

Baker offered “sincere thanks” to SPAM creator Megan Swartz for helping turn their weeklong company spotlight into “a total success.”

“It was a very exciting week, and created excellent opportunities for our valued customers and talented staff to get to know each other,” they added.

Swartz echoed that enthusiasm. “We had a wonderful week with Blanca learning all things Magic Silk and Male Power,” she said. “She invested so much time and effort and it was very much appreciated. A tremendous amount of planning goes into these takeovers, and we thank your entire team for keeping it fun and fast-moving.”
