But it says that he's just been charge with filming women.... where's the rape charge?

"Francis had been ordered to turn himself in for changing the terms of a settlement deal stemming from a 2003 lawsuit in which seven women accused him of victimizing them by filming them in sexual situations while they were on spring break in Panama City."


And is Paris Hilton one of his accusers?

He's not charged, but there was a story a while back about one of the girls he featured in his 'Girls Gone Wild' videos. Apparently he invited her back to his FuckBus, and forced himself on her (she was too drunk to resist).

I don't have a link to the story, maybe someone else does?

Here's the relevant part:

Szyszka says the more shots she drank, the cloudier her judgment became. She says she agreed to join Francis and his crew on the "Girls Gone Wild" bus. "I thought 'Girls Gone Wild' was like flashing, and I thought I would flash them and be done. And so when I'm walking to the bus, that's all I'm thinking is going to happen."

At first she felt comfortable, she says. Inebriated and excited, she says she was led to the back of the bus, to a small bedroom. The double bed, with its neatly folded iridescent purple sheets, takes up most of the room. A flat-screen TV faces the bed, and cabinets are filled with remote controls, lubricants, condoms, sex toys in plastic bags, baby oil, a DVD called "How to be a Player" and a clipboard full of waivers for girls to sign. A small bathroom is off to the side, with a half-sized shower with faux marble tiling, and on the floor of the shower is a crate holding cheap and fruity-flavored rum, whiskey, tequila and Kool-Aid.

Footage from that night shows a close-up of Szyszka's driver's license, proving she's not a minor. The camera then captures Szyszka lying on the bed. Her nails are chipped, her eyes coated with makeup. Following a camerman's instructions, she shows her breasts and says, "Girls Gone Wild." She seems shy but willing. She smiles. The unseen cameraman asks her to take off her shirt, her skirt, then her underwear. She sprawls on the bed, her legs open. At his suggestion, she masturbates with a dildo, saying repeatedly that it hurts but also feels good. Francis enters the room at certain points and you hear his voice, low and flirtatious, telling her, "You are so adorable." When she says she's a virgin, he responds: "Great. You won't be after my cameraman gets done with you."

When I talk to Szyszka seven days later, she says she "didn't quite realize" she was being filmed. "But I didn't care because I was drunk and who cares?" Then she adds: "It didn't feel good to me at all, but I was totally faking it because I was on 'Girls Gone Wild.'"

Eventually, Szyszka says, Francis told the cameraman to leave and pushed her back on the bed, undid his jeans and climbed on top of her. "I told him it hurt, and he kept doing it. And I keep telling him it hurts. I said, 'No' twice in the beginning, and during I started saying, 'Oh, my god, it hurts.' I kept telling him it hurt, but he kept going, and he said he was sorry but kissed me so I wouldn't keep talking."

Afterward, she says, Francis cleaned them both off with a paper towel and told her to get dressed. Then, she says, he opened the door and told the cameraman to come back, saying, "She's not a virgin anymore."

Szyszka says Francis told her that what happened had to stay between them. She says she agreed, and they walked to the front of the bus. Szyszka remembers that one of the crew returned her driver's license. Another asked if she wanted to hang out on the bus. She declined, she says, but asked for three pairs of "booty short" underwear that Francis had promised her for appearing on camera. "They gave me a weird look like that was too much," Szyszka recalls. "They were, like, 'Three of them?' and I was, like, 'Yeah, three.'"

Within days, Szyszka says, she told her father, who was angry about what she said had happened but kept quiet at her request. A month after the incident, she says, she told her sister and mother.

She's confused, she admits, about what happened. She feels guilty, she says, for getting herself into the situation in the first place. She says she never would have undressed for the cameras if she hadn't been completely drunk. And she is adamant that she said "no" to Francis. She says she's haunted by that night.

"I feel like it was planned," she says. "Sometimes I'm driving along, and I think about it and all of a sudden feel weird."

Granted, it's only an allegation. But nothing about this guy's character makes me want to disbelieve her.

Thanks for that. She should have filed (if it's true & I think that we apear inclund to believe it). However, he can't deny a rumour easily, it's like shooting shadows (but he probably doesn't care.....).

And, we have a double whammy! from TMZ.com

Joe Francis Nailed Again!
4/11/2007 6:13PM by TMZ Staff
"Girls Gone Wild" porntrepreneur Joe Francis has been indicted on federal tax evasion charges, for illegally deducting over $20 million in phony receipts from previous tax returns.

As first reported by thesmokinggun.com, court documents say Francis transferred millions of dollars from an offshore bank account to a U.S. brokerage account. If found guilty, Francis could face 10 years in prison and $500,000 in fines.

On Tuesday, Francis was arrested at a Florida airport on an unrelated charge. A judge there ordered him into custody after settlement talks soured with seven women who accused him of victimizing them by filming them in sexual situations while they were on spring break in Panama City.

I know he is a sleaze and all and I dislike this guy but I have to wonder what type of girl worries about her 3 pairs of booty shorts after an ordeal like this?

[yoyoma]

^Maybe she was still shocked by the whole ordeal & that was
the first thing that popped into her head....

[Aella]

^^That's how I interpreted it too. Like the irrational responses people often have to trauma.

He looks like Zack Braff about to coordinate an orgy (well while high to)

[january]

Also he roughed up the reporter that wrote the story that Aella posted. He roughed her up while his cronies looked on and laughed, and sexually harassed her the whole time she tried to get a story. There's not even a word to describe him to me, he's absolutely the lowest of the low. I despise him even more than I despise OJ Simpson or Michael Jackson, and thats saying a whole lot.

I can relate. I was in a very serious car accident back in September, when I got out of my car I grabbed my coffee cup and my son's kindergarten graduation tassel off the rearview mirror. Left all the important shit like my purse and keys and stuff.
