'Girls Gone Wild' Creator Gets 270 Days in Jail

LOS ANGELES August 28, 2013 (AP)

By TAMI ABDOLLAH Associated Press

"Girls Gone Wild" creator Joe Francis was sentenced Tuesday to 270 days in jail and three years' probation for choking a woman and repeatedly slamming her head to the ground at his Los Angeles mansion in 2011.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Nancy L. Newman also ordered the 40-year-old Francis to complete an anger management course and attend 52 sessions of psychological counseling, according to Deputy City Attorney Mitchell Fox.

A jury in May convicted Francis of five misdemeanor charges — three counts of false imprisonment, one count of assault by means likely to cause great bodily injury, and one count of dissuading a witness from reporting a crime.

(snip)

The day after Francis was convicted in Los Angeles, he told The Hollywood Reporter that members of the jury were "retarded," and said "they should all be lined up and shot."

(The TV show, "Bones", did an episode with a similar character who ran a version of "Girls Gone Wild," and he ended up getting murdered by an angry dad.)

I hope he doesn't meet any Angry Fathers in jail.

Cruel and unusual punishment or the death penalty are evil.
