'Girls Gone Wild' CEO Pleads Guilty

[rsmith6621]

LOS ANGELES -- The founder of the company that produces the "Girls Gone Wild" videos of women appearing in sexual situations pleaded guilty Monday to charges of failing to document the ages of young women engaging in sexual acts in the videos.

As part of the plea deal, Joe Francis, 33, agreed to pay a $500,000 fine.

A judge will decide whether to accept or reject the deal at a sentencing hearing scheduled for Dec. 18.

Outside court, Francis told reporters he thought the chances are "pretty slim" that the judge would reject the deal.

6. Ditto...

Joe Francis is so gross. I'm glad he's pleading guilty, and I hope he serves some time.

2. 500,000 bucks?

chump change for that sleaze bag.

4. $500,000???? That's nothing to this guy! A slap on the wrist.

He must be a contributing member to the Republican Party. Not documenting the ages of girls in videos for mass distribution should result in jail time. The only "fine" that would discourage this guy would be something like $50 million. But $500,000? What a joke. That guy makes $500,000 in like 1 month.

9. Only proves that if you're rich, you can damn near get away with anything.

Doesn't NBC have a show where they tape guys like this caught in the act then let the cops tackle the guy at the end of the show?

But since he's a CEO of a business that exposes underage girls, he gets a fine.
