'Girls Gone Wild' CEO put on probation

LOS ANGELES - The founder of the "Girls Gone Wild" videos was sentenced Monday to two years probation and 200 hours of community service for violating federal laws designed to prevent the sexual exploitation of minors.

Joe Francis, 33, also was ordered to pay a $500,000 fine as part of a plea deal he made with the U.S.
Department of Justice in September, when he plead guilty to failing to document the ages of young women engaging in sexually explicit acts in the tapes.

Under the deal, Francis acknowledged he included footage of two drunken, underage girls shot in Florida in the videos.

Francis said he was targeted because the "government needs to make an example."

"The FBI investigated me for five years ... and this is the best that they could come up with," he said.

Last month, a federal judge in Florida ordered Francis' Santa Monica-based company, Mantra Films Inc., to pay a $1.6 million fine for featuring in its videos two 17-year-olds who were filmed on Panama City Beach during spring break in 2003. Francis and the company's three top officers were each ordered to perform eight hours of community service monthly for 30 months.

Mantra has appealed.

Can't stand this guy. As the father of two daughters, I'm amazed that his ass hasn't been kicked dozens of times already by irate fathers.

What a scumbag.

Didn't he actually try to have sex with some minors too while on tape?! The nerve of the guy. Practically rivals R.Kelly's.

Speaking off Robert when is he going to trial?
It`s sad the girls own parents deny it`s her when the girls own aunt,teachers and other people say it`s her sounds like a payoff to me.

I can't stand the commericals... but why fault the guy? If the girls sign waviers and are of age... then why is it so wrong of him to make a buck on their stupidity?

Now if he is giving alcohol or drugs to underage girls to loosen them up... then I can understand... but we all know that teenagers and college students all go to spring break and party and screw each other for wild weekends... Want to stop this from happening... then clamp down on the kids and stop the spring break activities...

usually happens in Mexico... drinking age there is 18... and again if the parents have a problem with this... then they need to step up and say... Darling... it is not worth showing your boobies for a t-shirt...

Yeah since Spring Break was always so early I never got to go anywhere. I'm always in Mexico by summer for the most part.
