Even though I’m firmly team Rory (that is, up until her personality 180 that takes place around the show’s fifth season), I maintain that Kirk is one of the greatest fictional characters to ever grace the small screen. If I lived in Stars Hollow, I would wake up every day and go out into the town looking for Kirk so I could see what his new job of the day was and what whacky situation he is currently stuck in. The role initially went to Alex Borstein before going to Melissa McCarthy. Luke and Lorelai had such intense chemistry that the character became part of the title cast.

She contacted numerous attorneys from both Eugene and her hometown in Washington. She says her parents paid thousands of dollars in attorney fees to get the videos taken down, only to have them reappear hours later. The civil suit was interrupted in October, when Garcia, Pratt, Wolfe and two others were charged in federal court for sex trafficking by force, fraud and coercion for their connection to both Girls Do Porn and Girls Do Toys, another site owned by Pratt, according to a press release. In August 2019, the three men were sued in civil court by 22 women for $12.7 million. The women allege they were coerced and deceived into having sex on camera, under the belief that the videos would be sold only on DVD to private buyers abroad and that the models would maintain full anonymity. On October 19, 2021, Pornhub’s parent company MindGeek settled a lawsuit brought forth by over 50 women who sued Pornhub claiming they were victims of a sex-trafficking operation.

On top of that, many instances of their peers’ sexual exploration through sexting had traveled down several slippery slopes, including cases where teens had been criminally charged for sharing x-rated media they took of themselves. Jane Doe 7 was far from the only woman duped into filming pornography for the subscription website GirlsDoPorn. Her experience ultimately led to a San Diego Superior Court room where—one by one over the course of several months—22 millennial women answered affirmatively when attorneys for GirlsDoPorn asked them if they had ever viewed porn online. Yet in this fraud trial, these women all claimed they believed the porn videos they shot, which were published among GirlsDoPorn’s library of hundreds of porn flicks viewed collectively over one billion times, would never get posted online.

In this email, Jane was offered $4,000 for a first photoshoot – just regular modeling, mind you – but was told that she could be paid an additional $1,000 for an additional video shoot… It became clear to this young woman that this was porn, which she had no interest in, despite the promise of good pay for very little work. Megan, on the other hand, had her life changed overnight, with her true identity being revealed to the world just hours after the video appeared online. While she would originally attempt to deny any relation to the video, a subsequent video was obtained by sites like Brobible, which showed her in the same hotel room as the adult film – this time, however, just reading off a prepared statement giving her consent to appear in the flick. The flight and hotel would be paid for by the company, which was being called “Begin Modeling” in the ad, but was actually Girls Do Porn, a popular amateur porn company featured heavily on free sites like PornHub and XVideos.

Pratt, who was the owner of the website GirlsDoPorn, was charged in October 2019 in the Southern District of California with sex trafficking crimes in connection with a scheme to deceive and coerce young women to appear in pornographic videos. Pratt was an international fugitive for more than three years before he was arrested in Spain in December 2022. If the women ever changed their minds about filming or completing the scenes, the defendants threatened to sue them, cancel their flights home or post footage that had already been filmed online, the U.S.
