Multi-millionaire founder of Girls Gone Wild faces criminal charges yet again for having underaged girls in his videos.
Founder Joe Francis seems to be a little weary when it comes to checking the proper identification before he begins to film his soft porn.
Apparently, seven girls were not 18 when they participated in the Girls Gone Wild production, and Francis failed to document their ages.
His sentencing: A $500,000 fine and 200 hours of community service, something to ‘really’ make him think twice the next time.
But who is really to blame here?
It just may be a possibility that the girls didn’t realize what they were doing at the time, and now that they know, they want to make it seem as though the whole idea was not their own.
They want to put the blame on someone else.
It’s a classic girl excuse. I have seen this happen time and time again. Girls use the “I was drunk” excuse, and whatever they did was soon forgotten.
Apparently, it’s OK to get crazy, take off your clothes, and let everyone watch you do what you do, but in the morning it’s like, “Oh my gosh, what did I do?” for these underaged ladies.
I’m sorry, girls (ahem), but I think that they should’ve thought about the consequences before committing the acts.
I’m not saying that chicks can’t expose themselves on Girls Gone Wild. But if they do, they need to own up to it in the end.
Don’t put the blame on the guy who filmed the whole thing. If he didn’t push you to tear off your clothes, and put your hand on your own boob, guess what? It’s your fault. Take it, and move on.
On the other hand, this is a multi-million dollar company. This Francis guy should have taken the correct procedures to ensure that women performing in his films were the legal age.
It is his personal responsibility to check and make sure everything is perfect so that nothing comes back to him.
In the law’s eye, if the girls are under 18, they are considered children and not adults.
The sex business has proven to be quite lucrative; unfortunately, money can’t buy you everything, not even a bottle of water.
ABC news reported that while Francis was incarcerated for tax evasion, the filming of underaged girls, and a whole mess of other things that were made public, he tried to bribe an officer to get him a bottle of water for $500.
It’s like he just can’t learn. Maybe money can’t buy you everything.
