GGW's Francis Loves Bondage -- Opts to Stay Jailed

Posted Apr 12th 2007 3:45PM by TMZ Staff

Joe Francis"Girls Gone Wild" pimpresario Joe Francis might be having a little too much fun in his Florida jail cell -- he's decided to stay to awhile!

We're told that Francis, who was arrested at a Panama City airport earlier this week, has waived his right to a detention hearing, which could have won his freedom. There's no indication as to why he decided to forgo the hearing. Francis will now remain behind bars until his next court date on April 23.

On Tuesday, federal marshals took Francis into custody to face a contempt of court citation, stemming from a case involving seven women who accused him of victimizing them by filming them in sexual situations -- while they were underage and on spring break in Panama City.

Calls to Francis' lawyer were not immediately returned.

5. He probably waived his right to the hearing because federal authorities just indicted him for tax evasion. This jerk didn't pay taxes, in addition to victimizing little girls. Given that new charge, his bail would be astronomical or would not be granted. I hope he rots in jail.

8. Victimizing little girls? Yeah, right. They were more than happy to pull off their shirts and show everyone their boobs. "I'm going to be on film", that's what these little floozies were thinking. You can't steal from someone willing to give it to you. He didn't take advantage of them, they used him for their 15 minutes of fame. The only time any of them squeaked was probably after daddy saw the video and got pissed. Then they say "He took advantage of me". Unbelievable.

10. those of you that feel it necessary to bad mouth this guy should just consider he would not have done so well if he had not had people willing to buy what he was selling.

i find it hard to understand how any girl who is willing to lift her shirt was victimized...
is it not a voluntary thing ?
My shirt never goes up with out some help..
like everything else in the great ol' US of A ...you are immediately a victim when you can get cash for it !!!
