Nearly two dozen women won $12.7 million in a fraud lawsuit against the owners and operators of a San Diego-based pornographic website, GirlsDoPorn, a Superior Court judge ruled Thursday. San Diego Superior Court Judge Kevin Enright, who presided over a four-month-long bench trial, decided in favor of all 22 plaintiffs and against 13 defendants. AdvertisementHe awarded the women $9.45 million collectively in compensatory damages and $3.3 million in punitive damages. The judge also ordered the GirlsDoPorn website owners to prominently post in recruitment ads that videos would go on the internet. The plaintiffs’ attorneys said the videos were not immediately posted on the internet and defendants later refused requests to take down the films.
