Ah, I always had an inkling that whole “Girls Gone Wild” enterprise was nothing but reprehensible. So now Joe Francis, CEO of Girls Gone Wild, has been sentenced to 2 years probation and 200 hours of community service. All because he failed to document the ages of the chicks appearing in his videos. Oops. Looks like two of those girls were only 17 when they appeared in one of Joey’s flicks. Francis has also been ordered to pay a $500,000 fine under a plea deal.
Under the deal, Francis acknowledged he included footage of two drunken, underage girls shot in Florida in the videos.
Francis said he was targeted because the “government needs to make an example.”
“The FBI investigated me for five years … and this is the best that they could come up with,” he said.
Oh, you’re so suave, Joey.
