Celebrity Justice
Francis to Face Florida -- Finally!

Joe Francis"Girls Gone Wild's" Joe Francis is finally going back to Florida to face criminal charges there.

Today, his lawyer told a federal judge in Reno that Joe will be headed back to Panama City, Fla. on Wednesday to deal with charges stemming from his alleged filming of underage girls in that city. Francis had been stuck in legal limbo for a year, unable to leave a jail in Nevada, where he faces tax evasion charges.

Now, it looks as though he wants to face the Florida music -- to make it go away as quickly as he can.

48. Joe has done nothing wrong, just being persecuted by some religous pinheads.
Joe, keep your head on straight, congratulations on the new magazine coming out. You will be free of the weasels soon and enjoy your millions and freedom. The nitwits will still be the same unhappy fools as they always have been.

50. Bellita. You lack education and class. And, apparently, Morals. Were you brought up on a Prison Farm in Alabama ? Thought so. Or are you really Joe Francis or his pretend girlfriend in the Nevada Pokey ? Either way, no class, whatsoever.

51. Joe Francis thought he was above the law and brought drugs into jail while in Panama City. Why aren't your PAID henchmen saying THAT, Joe?

52. Funniest cartoon I ever saw - A big, burly prisoner flashing his boobies at Joe Francis, who resides in the cell across the hall, all the while yelling - HEY JOE HEY JOE HEY JOE!! JOE FRANCIS WHINED AND ACTUALLY CRIED TO THE MEDIA ABOUT THE TORMENT HE SUFFERED DURING THE ENDLESS - HEY JOE HEY JOE HEY JOE! Said he was having a mental breakdown because of it - lolololol!!! Rich punk slimeball piece of trash got what he deserves!

53. Joe Francis WAS there during filming and even if he didn't know their real age should be held accountible - it's STILL a crime! IGNORANCE IS NO EXCUSE FOR BREAKING THE LAW, JOE! Then he swaggerred into court, BAREFOOT and proceeded to insult the victims and their families. THEN HE BROUGHT ILLEGAL DRUGS into his jail cell BECAUSE HE THINKS HE IS ABOVE THE LAW! If that's how youre gonna roll, then suck it up and take it like a man, Joe!

54. Are all of you Joe Francis gonna write him and visit him in the Florida Prison ?? Oh yeah, you are ALREADY there ! hahahaha!
You are all so EVIL and like minded, I'm sure you are offenders like his sleazy, stank self. Good luck ever getting a nice, pretty, classy girlfriend. Well, they do have "girlfriends" in jail. Go for it. You can watch the sleaze videos with the fake "girls", too. Not quite the same, is it ? BO Plenty.
