Celebrity Justice
Judge Goes Wild on Joe Francis

Joe Francis"Girls Gone Wild" video kingpin Joe Francis lashed out at a Florida judge after refusing to surrender to authorities on a contempt citation, which may end up stripping him of his freedom!

Judge Richard Smoak ordered Francis into custody after settlement talks with seven women (who were minors when Francis filmed) took a turn for the worse. Lawyers for the women claim Francis threated them during negotiations. Joe told the AP that the judge "had lost his mind," adding, "This judge has gone so far as to call me the devil and an evildoer. It is a case of a judge gone wild."

Francis' lawyers have appealed the court order, which would send the 34-year-old millionaire to jail.

17. DEAREST #11

Yes all girls go topless in Europe - I don't believe that this was the issue - its this sleeze ball (my apologies to all sleeze balls out there for saying he's one of you) who is exploiting these underage girls.

#11 has gotta be a guy - overly concerned with breasts. Probably failed all his history classes in school - hey' but he remembers "all girls go topless in Europe". Way to go!

18. This guys has too much money. No one is going to be able to do anything to him. Plus...he can bribe the judge with his secret stash of uncut videos...he is one of the untouchables. Maybe he will get a female judge...ha...!

21. This guy has enough money that he can get enough lawyers and pervert justice. He will never see one day of jail time. His lawyer will save him. He is not home free however. There are a lot of fathers, brothers, uncles, mothers, sisters etc. who would love to see him step in front of their car. SPLAT! And he would deserve it. He should look both ways before he crosses the street. I hope he never has anything to do with anyone in my family.

23. You know these girls know what they are doing, I am a female and I don't just go into public and lift my shirt up to show guys my breasts. They obviously want attention and got it by getting it caught on video. These are 16 year girls wanting to be over 21, until mom and dad get wind and try to throw you out of the house for disgracing them. I do not support what this man does for a living but I know my boundries when it comes to my body, maybe mom and dad should have warned them about guys like this, but I don't think their GOD would want it that way!

24. What a dumb ass! Doesn't he know when to keep his mouth shut? Obviously all of his money didn't buy him any brains. What a stupid creep!

25. Joe Francis NEEDS to go to jail so HE can be taken "advantage" of, just like he likes to do to out-of-control, under-age, drunk teen girls. See ya, Joe! Don't let the cell door hit you in the ass on your way in. Although, you'd probably enjoy THAT.

30. This guy had it comin'. To take advantage of young, often tipsy girls is reprehensible. I'd like to see how smug he'd look if his little sister was videotaped.
