The United States of America, in 2019. The Southern California District Court issued a warrant for Pratt's arrest, and the FBI has announced a reward of up to $100,000 for information leading to his capture.
Agent in Charge of the FBI's San Diego Field Office Stacey Moy issued a statement saying, "Locating Pratt is a major priority for the FBI in order to stop him from victimizing anybody else."
According to Moy, Pratt "preyed on young women and girls" and "engages in harmful and deceitful acts wherever he goes."
The FBI claims that Pratt can afford to travel overseas and has connections to other nations.
Federal prosecutors said in July that Pratt's co-conspirator, Matthew Wolfe, had pled guilty to "conspiring to falsely induce young women to appear in sex films on the GirlsDoPorn and GirlsDoToys websites."
Wolfe apparently admitted to telling women that the films would not be made public in the United States. The District Attorney's Office claims that Wolfe lied to the ladies, telling them that no one who knew them personally would ever locate the videos.
Reports claim that Wolfe has stated that he was aware that the women's personal details had been released on pornwikileaks.com, a website run by Pratt that revealed the identities of participants in pornographic videos.
According to the District Attorney's Office, Wolfe's sentencing has been set for October 10.
