Going, going, gone.

USLaw

Girls Gone Wild maestro Joe Francis has learned not to test the patience of a Federal judge. The soft-porn videographer may be used to getting his way with under age women wearing bikins, but his peculiar charms are lost on men in robes.

At first U.S. District Judge Richard Smoak stayed his criminal contempt of court ruling when it was reported to him that Francis had reached a settlement with seven women who accussed him of filming them in sexual situations while they were below the age of consen. Then Francis displayed his usual form by reneging on the deal. When Smoak learned about this, he issued an immediate arrest warrant. Francis was picked up by local police in the Panama City, Florida airport on his way to surrender. With good behavior– not a slamdunk assumption– we’re guessing a minimum of two weeks before he’s out victimizing again.
