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.

Story developing ...

78. I live here "presecuted" I know what is going on here in my town and he did bring those things into the jail. I have inside knowledge from someone at the jail. But like I said before it isn't about coming back here to resolve anything there are half naked girl walking all around this place and that is what he is coming for. To shoot new footage. He hasn't missed a year yet why would he stop now he has enough money to get out of jail when he gets here and head straight for Thomas Drive and the strip. Kinda funny that they call it the strip considering that is what he comes here for "the strip".

81. Mark my words, Joe Francis will probably go ON THE RUN even though he has posted 1.5 million bail...that is chump change to him. He knows that he is facing 10 years in prison on the federal charges in Nevada and he knows that federal authorities would not have brought charges against him unless they had an air-tight case...they win about 99% of federal cases because of this. And since we have all seen how Francis cannot handle prison and is mentally unstable, it is highly likely he will jump bail. They should never have let him out of prison. I have read the famous LA Times article about him and couldn't believe that he has gotten away with raping so many young women...he needs to PAY.

82. "THE_TRUTH" and I supposed you were there when he "raped those young women". Riiiight. What a load of c-r-a-p.

He's not mentally unstable either, where is the footage showing him as being mentally ustable? But I'd be furious if I was treated like this as well. Spending 10 months in prison for a bogus charge is no joke.

83. Ok, anyone that says "Free Joe" needs to call there Mom and apologize. I agree with Dallas, send him here and throw him in Lew Steritt. They would enjoy him!

84. Free Joe, as a former employee of Mantra films i can tell you this case is a joke and you will all see when its over. I have never seen a room full of so many jealous and pathetic people in my life. You have all seen a video, and you still hate? might not be your nitch but you have all seen one and that is brilliant let alone he started GGW at the age of 24.
so grow up
and FREE JOE
