Matthew Isaac Wolfe, 40, of New Zealand, the co-owner of notorious GirlsDoPorn website, copped to the sex trafficking beef and conspiracy to commit sex trafficking by force, fraud and coercion.

He faces life in prison.

“This crime had a devastating impact on the victims,” U.S. Attorney Randy Grossman said in a Tuesday statement.

“We will seek justice for human trafficking victims in hopes that it will help them reclaim their lives and leave the pain of this experience in the past.”

Wolfe and his partner, Michael James Pratt, 39, who is on the run and being hunted down by authorities, coerced young women between the ages of 18 and 23 into making the sex videos — assuring them the raunchy reels would not be seen in the U.S.

They lied.

In addition, Wolfe said Pratt owned a website called pornwikileaks.com whose mission was to post information about adult video starlets, their real names and social media accounts.

The U.S. Department of Justice said in a release that the exposure site caused “the victims to be subjected to severe harassment.”

Wolfe continued to tell his aspiring Jenna Jamesons no one would discover their true identities — even though he was aware of Pratt’s sinister machinations.

“Wolfe lied to and preyed on vulnerable young women, subjecting them to years of relentless harassment, fear and mental anguish,” Stacey Moy, special agent in charge of the FBI San Diego Field Office, said in a statement.

“Identifying, investigating, and apprehending sex trafficking offenders is a critical part of our mission. We will continue to work with our partners every day to hold these perpetrators accountable for their crimes.”

Now, investigators are setting their sites on Pratt and offering a $50,000 reward leading to the kinky Kiwi’s arrest. In addition to the sex trafficking charges, he is also charged with production of child pornography and sex trafficking of a minor by force, fraud and coercion.

Pratt was allegedly at the centre of a conspiracy recruiting young women into commercial sex acts by use of force, fraud and coercion.

Cops say he promised the girls $3,000 to $5,000 for a one-day X-rated video shoot. Pratt and his accomplices allegedly locked the women in a room until the videos were shot — or they performed sex acts they originally declined.

And the operation was profitable: Pratt, 39, earned around $17 million from the sickening enterprise.

Now he’s on the run. The feds say he has ties to New Zealand, Australia, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Turkey, Singapore, Japan, Chile, Croatia and France and is likely getting assistance

“We believe he is likely still victimizing others,” FBI agent William McNamara said.
