Sleazeball Joe Francis Ordered To Jail
Foxnews reports:
PANAMA CITY, Fla. — Just days after narrowly avoiding jail time, the multimillionaire founder of the "Girls Gone Wild" videos was again ordered to jail Wednesday for contempt of court.
Joe Francis, 34, has until noon Thursday to turn himself in to authorities, The News Herald of Panama City reported. A federal judge ordered Francis jailed on Wednesday after lawyers suing him complained that unbeknownst to them he had substantially changed the conditions of an offer they'd agreed to.
A mediator said the new offer included a payment plan that wouldn't be completed for many years.
"He may have snookered us and gotten out Saturday," Smoak said, "but he's coming back."
Francis' lawyer, Mike Dickey, told the judge he was "stumped" by the development.
The judge reinstated the civil contempt order, which means Francis will be in jail until a formal mediation session can be set up and he participates in a meaningful way.
Smoak said he would look into possibly starting a criminal contempt process. He also increased the amount of money Francis would have to pay to the plaintiffs' lawyers, The News Herald reported. It was not clear what the new sum was.
Personally I think this guy should be locked-up for good and be someone bitch when he's in jail.
