Celebrity Justice
Joe Francis Skates on Sex Charges

Joe FrancisJoe Francis has been cleared of sex charges in L.A.

An L.A.County Superior Court judge has dismissed the sexual battery charge against the "GGW" founder, because no one can find the alleged victim.

UPDATE: Joe's attorney Mark Werksman told TMZ he was able to get the case dismissed based on insufficient evidence. He said the prosecution realized the allegations were groundless and that there never should have been a prosecution, and that Joe never knew the girl and had no recollection of ever meeting her.

Joe Francis just released this statement to TMZ: "This was just yet another false allegation against me in the past year. Every single time a case like this gets levied against me, it has been proven false. I have never lost a case, criminally or civilly. I feel this may finally bring an end to these frivolous allegations."

18. Seriously, however right you are here is a free law school lesson for everyone in America shut the F-- up. Noone likes the a$$hoe who wins anything then brags. And the worse part about the law is unless you get a bench trial, those people you pissed off are the "deciders" and will send your @$$ to jail the next time if you did it or not. This guy is a tool and deserves to go to jail and not because the girls are right because he is a d!ck.
