at turns (barely) contrite and accusatory, his lawyer says "perceptions can vary" and "we must simply agree to disagree" about what the videos depicted, questioning the validity of so many victims' testimonies. lives were ruined, but he wants us to know he's not "the manifestation of evil"

None of them called the police or hotel security before or after filming; many agreed to return for subsequent videos, and some agreed to serve as “reference girls” to help recruit other models. From Mr. Pratt’s point of view, his crew was to keep his models comfortable, engaged, and to create high quality adult videos, using professional grade equipment. The PSR identifies troubling conduct and observations on certain videos. At ¶¶55-57 the Probation Officer recites her perceptions of what she saw on certain unidentified videos. The defense has reviewed a number of videos and has not seen any depicting the violent sexual acts perceived by the probation officer–models crying out or shedding tears in pain, or vomiting. Mr. Pratt himself denies that his models were subjected to such treatment. Recognizing that perceptions can vary, we must simply agree to disagree about what was depicted on those videos. It is true that, as the PSR points out at ¶56, during one post-sex interview, one of the women said, “My vagina hurts a lot.” The PSR’s description, however is misleading because her actual statement was, “The sex was awesome! My vagina hurts though, a lot,” followed by statements of how she enjoyed being filmed. And in her post-sex interview at the end of the filming, that woman said she “loved it, really exciting,” and when asked if she would do it again, replied “Absolutely!
