GGW does community service

ggw logo“Would you please pull up your top?”

It may be the new question on Panama City soup lines. The multimillionaire founder of the “Girls Gone Wild”  – Joe Francis- has been sentenced to 480 community service hours after the company pleaded guilty to federal charges of failing to monitor the ages of the women it films.

Mantra Films Inc. also agreed to pay $1.6 million in fines for using drunken 17-year-olds in videos it filmed on Panama City Beach during spring break.

….nothing was added to the fine or sentence for filming the girls’ moms, too.
