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.

61. Let's see, OJ going to prison for life for stealing his own memorabilia and Joe Francis going to prison for underage filming, there is a GOD afterall.

Poetic Justice.

Karma.

What goes around comes around.

Couldn't root for a couple of clowns less that these two.

62. BS "FLA_damsel". He may have been in the area, but he was not THERE. And it was a setup if anything, anyone can lie about being in the legal age and falsify papers, like the girls did. Prosecuting people for being duped by such liars is ridiculous. And especially since he wasn't even the guy that got duped and filmed them. What a load of CRAP.

63. And people don't hate you "Bill O"? Lmao. There are always haters, but as long as people have some support they'll go on. Haters will eventually get what's coming to them.

64. Hey ! "Franis was persecuted" The first rule of a PR man is : Learn how to SPELL the client's NAME. As in Francis. How do you sleep at night in the pen, Dude ? I assume you are also incarcerated. Who else would stick up for this nasty Douchebag, who is HATED by men and women, alike ? Only another Stank Douchebag !

67. lmao mr. fake "Bill O", if you actually bothered to use your brain you would have noticed that I spelled it correctly in my previous posts, which should have told you that it was a TYPO. My keyboard is pretty messed up at the moment, it doesn't register every time I type in a letter, hence the occasional typo when I don't bother to proof read it.

And no I am not a paid employee. I don't even personally know Francis at all. My information comes directly from his homepage (google meetjoefrancis if you're interested).

But by all means continue being the snot-nosed, stuck-up dumbass that you are. Karma's a bitch.

murdering two people isn't even in the same league as filming two slutty underage girls (who lied about their ages), you moron!!

70. As long as there are going to be slutty girls going around doing that stuff, someone will always be there to make a buck off of them. To me, the blame is entirely on those drunk floozies who can't keep their clothes on.

71. Anyone else find it odd that he spent so long trying to avoid being sent back here to PC and now here it is the very first week of Spring Break and he desides to bite the bullet and come back. Bet there is already a camera crew on the beach waiting.

72. And since no one else has mentioned it the reason he was kept here in BAY COUNTY JAIL so long the first time was because while in jail for the 2003 incident he smuggle contraban into the jail, such as prescription drugs I believe Xanax was among some of the crap he brought in. He wasn't bein unjustly held he just couldn't play by the rules. Watch out for your daughters coming to PC for SB 08 Cause He will be here waiting.

74. FREE JOE!

And I mean right NOW! This poor man has been unjustly persecuted! Don't hold him in custody another minute.

In fact, don't even wait for the plane to land. Joe deserves his freedom NOW. Just open the emergency exit and push him on out.

75. And you believe that khristina despite all the evidence poining to the judge being corrupt and biased, along with the mayor making outrageous statements and indirectly pressuring the judge? Whatever. This case is a sham.
