Eh. Joe Francis

Joe Francis, the millionaire founder of the “Girls Gone Wild” video empire, was charged Wednesday with misdemeanor sexual battery for allegedly groping an 18-year-old woman.

Francis allegedly touched the woman’s breast and buttocks repeatedly despite pleas to stop, said city attorney spokesman Frank Mateljan.

Oh, and Francis was JUST sentenced on Monday to 35 days in jail in Florida for criminal contempt.

U.S. District Judge Richard Smoak found Francis in contempt of court last week after lawyers for seven women complained he shouted obscenities and threatened them during civil suit settlement negotiations.

Settlement for what you ask? Just a simple lawsuit brought by women who were minors when Francis’ company filmed them on Panama City Beach.

What a guy.
