A state court judge in San Diego has tentatively awarded more than $12.7 million to nearly two dozen women and their attorneys who said the owners of a San Diego pornography website lured them into appearing in adult videos through "coercion and lies."
The verdict was reached after a nearly three-month-long civil trial of the San Diego-based pornography website. Atypical to civil court proceedings, the dispute was decided by a judge, not a jury.
