CW: Sexual Abuse, Rape
I want to keep talking about this issue since no one else is. I think because it's a taboo subject. Women are being abused/raped every day. Since I've only scratched the surface, I may do another Black Label episode on the porn industry down the line. The percentage of pornography created through sex trafficking is unknown but I'd wager the number is staggering.
The porn filmmakers of GirlsDoPorn has recently been charged with sex trafficking.
"SUMMARY OF CHARGES

INVESTIGATING AGENCY FBI"
From what I've read the patterns fits exactly what was discussed in the Black Label episode.
"Some of the women were pressured into signing documents without reviewing them and then threatened with legal action or outing if they failed to perform; some were not permitted to leave the shooting locations until the videos were made; family and friends and the general public eventually saw the videos online; some victims were harassed and ridiculed and estranged from their families as a result; and some were sexually assaulted and in at least one case raped. Some were forced to perform certain sex acts they had declined to do, or they would not be paid or allowed to leave."
At the time of writing this, owner Michael James Pratt has fled the country.

"One day, I answered an ad for “beginmodeling.com” and after that, my life would never the same. From the minute Johnathan contacted me, I was lied to repeatedly, manipulated, and coerced into filming. A fake website, fake references from “past models”, the entire premise is a lie. They don’t have to convince you to shoot an adult film, they just have to convince you to fly to California and they’ve already won. "
