Joe Francis is a free man!

The Girls Gone Wild impresario made a court appearance in Panama City, Florida today and after agreeing to a plea deal he was released!

Joe will supposedly be back in L.A. as early as tonight.

As y'all know he was just extradited from Nevada to Florida to face charges.

We didn't expect such a quick release!

Francis plead no contest to the charges of filming underage girls and has been sentenced to time served. He will be on six months "non-reporting" probation, and Girls Gone Wild can't film in the Panama City area for three years.

County authorities are supposedly returning to Joe his brand new Ferrari and $60,000 that they confiscated from him last year.

Joe's spent almost a year in jail.

Party at Francis' house this weekend!

    A free douchebag is STILL a douchebag.

    And just think: All this from videotaping the perky, milky titties of drunken spoiled white girls on Spring Break. Their asshole parents must be so proud back in their trailer parks.

    I wonder whose bitch he was in jail?

    My heart is broken. I was so sure that Joe would be COMPLETELY FUCKED in Florida. This is yet another reason to write off the fucking sunshine state. If they can't take advantage of a fucking handout like this– then fucking forget that flea-infested cock of a state. Fuck Florida. Fuck Joe. He is a rapist PIG. There is no getting around it. Time for him to go. I only hope that the IRS does a better job of burying this moterfucker. Joe Francis is the true scum of the Earth.

    " SHITBAG WALKIN'!" how about drinking some more of that haterade asshole. YOU should be put behind bars for being such a scumbag cowardly anonymous hater. He's not a rapist, the charges against him were bogus crap.

    How's about we all keep our titties in our clothing while out in public and stop acting like skany ho's. Then Jo won't have anything to video tape. Let's get real girls. We are letting men degrade us! We need to STOP!

    Holy shit man. That is ridiculous. He's a fucking sex offender and he gets off that easy? Any average person who did what he's done would be labeled a predator and a monster and probably serve quite some time in the orange jumpsuit. I yet again feel let down by our justice system.

    Keep the pig locked up. The world is a better place if this pig wasn't allowed to run around and profit off semi-naked underage girls.

    how sad. normal guys get serious jail time for doing something like that. seems like all you need to do to make your crime seem legit is add a trademark or copyright symbol and a quasi-celebrity. so sad.

    When I got released from jail once, 4 days in, I got a crumpled up $5, my phone with dead battery, and a pack of gum. A brand new Ferrari and $60,000 has to be nicer.

  57. New Money says – reply to this
    57

    He got what he deserved. He found out you cant talk shit even if you have some money in the bank.

    The next time dumbass, show up, show some respect, and then talk shit in your Ferrari on the way home, NOT in the court room.

    But the guy is a fucking moron.

    Thjis from the state that let hjim go:

    Proposed Law Looks to Wipe Out Problem
    A proposed law currently making its way through the Florida legislature might help you with what can be an embarrassing problem. Here's the bottom line, the bill would be a mandate that all eating establishment must have enough toilet paper when you go into the restroom.

    The only problem is the bill doesn't dictate how much toilet paper is "enough."

    State Senator Victor Crist, a Republican from Tampa, felt the problem was so important, a law must be passed to protect the backsides of anyone in Florida. The measure will also try to regulate the cleanliness of restrooms in eating establishments.

    Crist, says in the bill, restaurant inspectors, "should also check the restrooms along with the kitchens to make sure that basic cleanliness necessities are in place."

    The Senate Regulated Industries Committee approved the bill, SB 836, on Monday. It has two more stops to go and as long as it's not wiped out before then, it could then go to the Senate floor. A similar measure is currently awaiting passage by the House.

    When the hearing was over and he stood outside talking to the local media, the dumbass couldn't keep his mouth shut about the upcoming Nevada trial. His lawyer had to rein him in as usual. What a lowlife!

    Hopefully, the man has learned a hellified lesson from all this, among them: that Flo-ree-DUH is irrefutable proof that when the rest of the nation flushes, the shit's gotta go somewhere(!), as exemplified by a) the low-life skanks who lied about their ages–of course, Joey-boy should've done a better job of ferreting them out–and b) the po-pos in that state are among the dirtiest on Earth(but what can you honestly expect from gangs of drunken confederate pig farmers?).
