Michael James Pratt, a fugitive charged with multiple counts, including sex trafficking and child pornography, has been arrested in Spain, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) announced.

Pratt, originally from Christchurch, New Zealand, had been a fugitive since 2019, having allegedly fled the country amid a civil trial in San Diego. The 40-year-old is charged in a 19-count indictment with sex trafficking, production of child pornography, sex trafficking of a minor, and conspiracy to launder monetary instruments in connection with the now-defunct San Diego-based pornographic website GirlsDoPorn.com, which Pratt owns.
