The Federal Bureau of Investigation has added GirlsDoPorn founder Michael James Pratt to its Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list, nearly three years after he was charged with sex trafficking in a US federal court in California. The FBI is now offering a reward of $100,000 for information leading to his arrest, up from the $10,000 it offered in September 2020.
Pratt is wanted "for his alleged involvement in sex trafficking and production of child pornography," the FBI said yesterday. Pratt and others who did not evade capture were accused of "a conspiracy to recruit young adult women and minor girls to engage in commercial sex acts by force, fraud, and coercion."
From 2012 to 2019, Pratt owned and operated GirlsDoPorn and GirlsDoToys, which generated more than $17 million in revenue, the FBI said. "Locating Pratt is a high priority for the FBI in order to stop him from victimizing anyone else," Special Agent in Charge Stacey Moy said.
