Girls Gone Wild creator grilled on police record in court
32-year old Joe Francis, who became a gajillionaire by convincing countless young women to "show us where babies feed" for Girls Gone Wild videos, was grilled about his own criminal record when he appeared in court as a burglary victim yesterday:[Francis] testified that an armed intruder stole cash and possessions and then forced him to make a humiliating, half-naked video. Francis identified his assailant as Darnell Riley, 28, who is accused of six felony counts of burglary, robbery, carjacking, kidnapping and attempted extortion.Link (Thanks, Cyrus Farivar)In Los Angeles County Superior Court today, Riley's lawyer fired back at Francis, grilling him on his own police record. Defense attorney Ronald Richards asked Francis about a theft arrest in North Carolina, and a case pending in Florida alleging that he filmed minors for one of his videotapes and was charged with racketeering, prostitution, obscenity, child pornography and possession of an illegal drug.
