Michael James Pratt, who fled San Diego in 2019 while he was the target a federal sex-trafficking prosecution, joins the FBI's 10 most wanted list.
L.A. couple facing prison for stealing $18 million in a pandemic relief scam took a private jet to the Balkans and vanished into a posh town on the Mediterranean.According to federal prosecutors and evidence presented in the civil case, the victims were recruited for modeling jobs, then coerced into having sex on camera through promises the videos wouldn’t be made public, but would go to private DVD collections overseas.
Victims said they were plied with alcohol and cannabis before being rushed through signing a contract, which they were not allowed to read or obtain copies of. Some said they were sexually assaulted, held against their will or threatened if they asked to stop. Prosecutors allege the subscription pornography site generated more than $17 million in revenue. Assistant U.S. Atty. Alexandra Foster said Wednesday that Pratt “has access to significant funds.”
Authorities have said Pratt “has the financial means to be anywhere around the world,” is receiving support from others and has ties to multiple countries, including Australia, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Turkey, Singapore, Japan, Chile, Croatia and France.Police are investigating whether Myles Sanderson killed his brother.
