PANAMA CITY, Fla. (AP) - "Girls Gone Wild" founder Joe Francisresolved his Florida criminal case by pleading no contest to
filming underaged girls. But his raunchy video series is still
getting him in legal trouble in the Panhandle.
Four additional women sued him last week alleging he exploited
them. They say they were 17, 16, 15 and 13 when the company
solicited them to participate in sexually provocative videos in
2003 and earlier. They want unspecified monetary damages.
Francis' spokesman did not return a phone call today.
The lawsuit was filed by the same Panama City lawyers who sued
Francis in 2003. He settled the older case last year.
Francis went free after nearly a year in jail early this month
after pleading no contest to child abuse and prostitution. He was
sentenced to time served, but faces a federal tax evasion trial in
Nevada.
