The Findings in the Andre Garcia Case
On December 17, 2020, GARCIA pled guilty to counts one and seven of the indictment charging the defendant with one count of conspiracy to commit sex trafficking, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1594(c), and one count of sex trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion, in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 1591(a)(1) and (2).
Beginning in approximately 2013 and continuing up to October 2019, GARCIA participated in a conspiracy with Michael James Pratt, Matthew Isaac Wolfe, Theodore Wilfred Gyi, Valerie Moser, and others, to recruit Victims 1-5, as identified in the Indictment, and others, to engage in commercial sex acts using force, fraud and coercion. Those sex acts were ultimately posted on Girlsdoporn.com (GDP) and girlsdotoys.com (GDT). GDP and GDT charged visitors a subscription fee to access the websites’ content. The GDP and GDT websites generated millions of dollars in revenue for its owners.
Throughout the conspiracy, GDP and GDT received millions of views. To promote the websites, video content from both sites was posted on free porn sites such as pornhub.com, one of the world’s most visited websites. The videos from GDP and GDT posted on pornhub.com were often viewed millions of times according to pornhub’s view counters.
From approximately 2013 to October 2019, GARCIA was employed at GDP. GARCIA recruited women to appear in videos for GDP/GDT and appeared as the male actor in the videos for GDP. GARCIA was paid a commission for each woman that he recruited on top of an hourly rate for his employment.
To recruit victims to appear in videos for the websites, GARCIA lied to the victims and told them that the videos would never be posted on-line, that the videos would never be released in the United States, and that no one who knew the women would ever find out about the video, representations that Defendant and other members of the conspiracy knew were false. Hundreds of women from various cities throughout the United States and Canada were recruited to appear in videos based upon these material misrepresentations. GARCIA and his coconspirators illegally obtained the images and videos of the victims using force, fraud, and coercion.
There are hundreds of victims in this case who have been and continue to be victimized by the posting and viewing of the GDP and GDT images and videos. The victims are identified in the attached Exhibit A to this order, which shall remain under seal, except for redacted copies to be provided to individual victims identified therein who seek to enforce the terms of this order.
The victims, in this case, have incurred the losses set forth in the Government’s Motion Regarding Restitution and supporting materials. The losses include medical expenses, counseling expenses, lost income, unused tuition, and legal fees. The victims will also incur expenses in the future, including for medical and psychological care, as set forth in the government’s motion.
The gross income of the victims’ services generated from the scheme, as defined by 18 U.S.C. § 1593(b)(3), was $16, 922, 798. This equates to $42, 097 per victim identified in Attachment A.
