Do you think this is (and Paris' current, wonderful troubles) some sort of karmic payback pendulum swing for all the people who have shitty jobs, and live in shitty apartments and are just trying to get by? What? Shut up - I don't mean me! Joe Francis is currently serving time down in Florida, and who knows what terrible things are happening to a soft, formerly cocky bitch such as himself in there. A federal judge ruled yesterday that he should be sent directly to Nevada to stand trial for charges of tax evasion immediately after getting out of the joint. He's got a really grueling public humiliation schedule.
Joe Francis, 34, should be released from Bay County custody Tuesday after serving a 35-day sentence for contempt of court. Florida prosecutors want Francis to remain in custody for unresolved 2003 criminal charges involving filming minors in sexual situations on Panama City beach.But Federal Magistrate Judge Larry Bodiford ruled that Francis should first face federal tax evasion charges in Reno, Nevada.
It's very rare in life that something works out perfectly and justice is actually served.

What's happening to Joe is what's commonly referred to an open-handed slap in the mouth by the long arm of the law. It's a good thing and it couldn't have happened to a sleazier guy.
ChaCha says:
Still... six months in jail and 2k fine for the assault charges seem lame, and continues to send messages to boys that despite protests against unwanted touches or advances... 'it's really no big thing.' He'll get more grief for fondling money than he will for filming and fondling girls.
Ugh! I think our priorities are skewed.

Yea, I am sure every one of the stupid protein receptacles was forced to strip and make out with each other on film, especially in the Snoop Dog version of the GGW epics. Don't drop the soap, Joe! Ride Lo
