Judge OKs plea deal from 'Girls Gone Wild' founder in tax case

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A judge sentenced "Girls Gone Wild" founder Joe Francis on Friday to time served and a year of probation for filing false income tax returns.
U.S. District Judge S. James Otero accepted the terms of a plea deal between Francis and prosecutors, who struck the deal after learning on the eve of trial that a key witness had lied to them.

Francis, a soft-porn mogul who filmed and marketed videos of young women, initially was accused of taking $20 million in fraudulent tax deductions earlier this decade.

  1. This artcle just shows that everyone is in it for the money, but some people will work for it and some will steal it. it is the way of the world. We have good honest people and we have bad thieves. But, as i always was told " what goes around, comes around" And karma will always win.
