This poor bastard has had a bad couple of weeks.



PANAMA CITY, Fla. - Girls Gone Wild founder Joe Francis is now being investigated for attempted bribery and possession of a controlled substance after prescription drugs and cash were found in his cell Wednesday night at the Bay County Jail in Panama City.

According to the Panama City News-Herald, Francis allegedly offered a guard $100 for bottled water. The ensuing search of Francis' cell turned up 16 prescription pills and $700 in cash

At press time, it is unknown whether Francis will face federal or state charges as a result of the incident. If convicted on state charges, Francis could face up to 85 years in prison.

Francis is being held at the Bay County facility on federal contempt of court charges stemming from his conduct during mediation in a civil lawsuit. The T&A mogul was also charged with tax evasion this week for allegedly deducting an estimated $20 million in false business expenses from his 2002 and 2003 federal tax returns.

Francis is scheduled to appear in federal court today at 1:30 p.m. for a bond hearing on the contempt of court charges.

couldn't happen to a nicer guy. Perhaps the guards will sell the tape of his prison rape?

This guy will go to jail. Bet on it. The Feds will chase him to hell and back to get him behind bars. He's made a lot of coin on the silly shit he's produced, but even the best attorney's around can't keep Uncle Sam from extracting their pound of flesh from this guy.

Reminds me of MEGA PIMP Jason Itzler. Pretty much did what he wanted until he ran his mouth all over the papers about how the NYPD wouldn't bust him because they were his best customers. Guess what happened next.

Joe Francis=Al Capone

he cried like a bitch at his latest hearing...he got caught with marijauana inside the correctional facility...lol

"The videotape on the screen in front of me is stark, grainy. The color is garish, almost fluorescent, possibly from too many generations of loosely authorized copying. A shirtless male figure lies face down on a mattress, his head resting on a pillow. His eyes flutter at half-mast. His mouth is puddled in a stuporous grin, and he looks very, very high. The camera pans to reveal his pants dragged down around his knees and a pink vibrator resting on the crest of his buttocks, lazily gyrating with an irritating whine. The mood is hardly erotic. The man on the screen looks like a hostage in one of those videos streaming out of war-ravaged Iraq: disheveled, sleep-deprived, disoriented, and, just maybe, fearing something on the order of an on-camera beheading. “My name is Joe Francis,” he says repeatedly in a damaged monotone, slurring his words in a continuous stream. “I’m from Boys Gone Wild, and I like it up the ass.”"
