Joe Francis -- Free to Roam, Again

Posted Feb 11th 2009 7:00PM by TMZ Staff

As easy as it is to talk a drunk 18-year-old out of her tank top -- Joe Francis has just been sprung from house arrest.

A Federal Court in L.A today released Joey boy from casa lockdown in his tax evasion case.

Joe had been in the doghouse after being 5 hours late for a hearing last week. Joe said he was too sick to make the trek to court.

The judge didn't buy it and placed him on house arrest -- until the doc came in today and backed up Joe's story.

31. Francis might make good DVD's but the fact is he is taking advantage of many UNDERAGE girls for private profit...criminal

32. And I'm sure the "doctor" got a hand job by one of the sluts Joe tends to attract. Or maybe Joe gave the hand job? Either way, I would bet my life he's lying.

33. That's not a photo of Joe Francis - unless it was taken before his nose job. It looks nothing like him.

34. Joe maybe it's time you grow up. Your to old to be exploiting drunk college kids. Why don't you take all that money and do something more fulfilling and constructive with your life. Although I'm no fan of yours I think they did you dirty if your story is true.

35. Something tells me this idiot will be behind bars again soon. He seems to think he's above the law.

36. Hey # 19, I'm white, so I'm a slut? Take your racist comments somewhere else. What, do you give blow jobs for food stamps or something? See, how did that feel...

37. Hey Joe Francis defenders- do you realize that this disgusting animal is a PEDOPHILE?? Read the new book "Six Degrees of Paris Hilton"- it says that when Joe Francis was in Russia he asked a nightclub owner who already supplied him with prostitutes for a 12 year old girl!!! That is disgusting beyond belief. Why the Hell was Larry Flint the one who got shot???

38. Hey JF defenders- why the Hell do you support a PEDOPHILE??? Read the new book "Six Degrees of Paris Hilton"- when JF was in Russia he asked a nightclub owner who already supplied him with prostitutes to supply him with a 12 year old girl!!! Is that the type of thing that you agree with???

39. I am not saying Joe is right or wrong necessarily - but let's say Karma has a play here.......this is a guy that had a brain, some financial backing, some success......what has he done with it? Gotten young girls to get naked on camera and exploited that throughout the world. Ummm....okay. The girls agreed, right? Well, you can get a lot of victims to agree to detrimental things - it doesn't make it okay. Joe helped exploit and ruin the lives of thousands of girls - hurt them, their families, careers....not that the girls didn't agree to it., but it was a negative choice of energy. Don't believe it? Ask Michael Vick and about his contribution to the world - and how he promoted youth.....man, Michael really gave back to the world (just like old white slave owners centuries ago). Go Joe! Exploit those young girls! They WANT it!
