A Superior Court judge in San Diego tentatively awarded nearly $13 million to almost two dozen young women on Thursday, ruling that they had been tricked into performing in pornographic videos that derailed and uprooted their lives and led several to become suicidal.
The ruling capped an unusual 99-day civil trial that exposed the bait-and-switch tactics and false promises deployed as part of a scheme to induce young women, who would not otherwise consider filming pornography, to fly to San Diego and shoot a pornographic video.

Judge Enright found that the women had been lured with Craiglist ads that offered to pay them around $5,000 for photos or video shoots. The ads did not indicate that any nudity or pornography would be involved.
“Wanted,” one ad read, “beautiful college type preppy girls,” for video and photo shoots.
The women who responded to the ads said they were directed to innocuous websites, with pictures of clothed women, that asked for their contact information and photographs.
The ads turned out to be from the producers of GirlsDoPorn, who were seeking women to make so-called amateur pornography, which often features fresh-faced actresses paired with seasoned male performers.
Once a newly recruited woman had flown to San Diego, she found herself alone in a hotel room with two men about to shoot a pornographic video, Judge Enright wrote.
At this point, the producers had the women sign documents containing “dense and ambiguous legalese,” which they falsely described as guarantees that their videos would be distributed only on DVD outside of the United States and would never be published online, Judge Enright wrote.
“Defendants rush and pressure the woman to sign the documents quickly without reading them and engage in other deceptive, coercive and threatening behavior to secure their signatures,” Judge Enright wrote...

LOL
A lot of things lost in that area!
There are some on this forum—not just liberal, anti-christian forums—who will defend porn like it is their religion. They’ll burn in Hell just like the pornographers.
Is it defending porn, or just acknowledging that a government that has the power to eliminate it, may be a case of the ‘cure being worse than the disease’?
So, they were OK doing porn, they just didn’t want their friends watching it.
“I’ve heard of a couple of women that fell for the overseas only bit.”
Well your IQ would have to be pretty low in order to not think that through, and realize that it makes no sense in this day and age. Not in the age of digital media.
“...Women don’t spread their legs for strange men...”

My wife of 40+ years has several girlfriends from former workplaces.
They are all single, divorced women.
She regularly meets with them for lunch, dinner, etc.
Their description of their sex lives are amazing to me.
Go on vacation, meet a guy at a bar, and have a poke.
There’s the old saw about freedom: you should be able to do anything lawful regardless of what busybodies think about it and its none of their business if you do.
A principled libertarian position, held by Peter McWilliams, who wrote a book about the absurdity of nonconsensual crimes.
Still worth reading.
One would think.
of course I am just kidding but I do get tired of victims always being pummeled while the truly evil porn industry and its perv clientele get the ho-hum wink-wink attitude.....
ultimately, God will judge won't HE?
I’ve got three teenaged sons
My rib is appalled at how high school girls act today
I don’t think I said anything about strange men but I agree
Women do avoid strange men absolutely unless it’s weirdness seeking weirdness
My point in one of my posts was that today much porn is made by women
And I guess reflects their perspective
It’s not couples porn like most would assume but the rough stuff
And a lot of daddy stuff camouflaged as step daddy
Or it’s gang bang or bdsm
And women making the porn and running it
Not to mention so much home porn produced by college aged girls
It’s just insane commercial bacchanalia
And do indeed watch porn too or at least act like they do in Twitter chatter
I’m personally more fond of the old days of Hefner and Guccione and Annette Haven
The racial aspect of today’s porn is over half of what one sees just googling
Feminists have succeeded in getting most young women to have the sexual discretion of a Roman barge prostitute
Equality with men projected onto our young flowers by bitter older women for whom marriage or a decent beau was never in their future anyhow
To converge my meandering
Many of the women making porn today are lesbians and often dykes
I posted a couple of pics of two girls who made the news due to their GDP photoshoots, which wound up being costly for them.
Then I felt bad because the events were several years ago and the women now probably just want to get on with their lives and bury this old notoriety so I asked the post get pulled.
One thing I will say about GDP is they managed to find SMOKIN' HOT girls to have sex on camera. It was mystifying how they did it. Of course, now we know. Seriously though, in a world where most pro-am porn chicks are all tatted up, pierced, and look like they're fighting meth addictions, the GDP girls were freakin' hot AF!
And what did these dipsh*ts do with all of this incredible talent? They proceeded to make the worst-quality porn films imaginable. Bad lighting, awful camera angles, horrible editing. Just terrible productions.
At least, this I've been told...
See "The L Word", for one.
Sadly
you’ve been told :)
lol
Yeah porn “actresses” usually look beat to heck
Amazing how many gullible and trusting people there are.
Ah, it’s better than being a jaded NYer. I learned to stop trusting people by 7 :)
The court rightly awarded the women damages for use of the content they starred in that was outside of the scope of what they agreed to. But the women willingly chose to get into the port business regardless of whether the movies were allegedly for DVD customers in Australia or for general distribution.
Once somebody decides to take a $5,000 check in return for having sex with a stranger in front of a camera they are in the porn business of their own volition.
Right, they were “tricked” into taking their clothes off.
I know a guy who passed up a day at his sales gig and was told to strip.
Guy: Will you have sex with me for 1,000,000 dollars?
A lot of people say, "I wouldn't do that for a million bucks!"
I don't believe this is true.
I believe most people would do that for a million bucks, --and often for much, much less.
Not quite. There was a lot of fraud and deceit going on. Read the verdict. It's long but interesting. These guys screwed up.
The Porn Producers should have been charged with Human Trafficking - a serious Federal crime.
