PANAMA CITY, Fla. (AP) - "Girls Gone Wild" founder Joe Francis
has pleaded no contest to child abuse and prostitution charges in
the spring break haven of Panama City.
Francis entered the pleas Wednesday to settle the case that
began when the series that shows women baring their breasts
videotaped underage girls in 2003.
Judge Deede Costello sentenced Francis to 339 days in jail, but
gave him credit for the last year he has spent in jail in Bay
County and in Reno, Nev.
The action resolves the Florida criminal cases pending against
Francis and allows him to remain out of jail on bond pending a
federal tax evasion trial in Nevada.
