JOE FRANCIS - FRANCIS SETTLES LAWSUIT WITH UNDERAGE GIRL

FRANCIS SETTLES LAWSUIT WITH UNDERAGE GIRL

LATEST: GIRLS GONE WILD founder JOE FRANCIS has settled a lawsuit with a woman who accused the adult filmmaker of exploiting her while she was underage.
In legal papers submitted to a Panama City, Florida courthouse earlier this year (08), the unnamed female alleged she was filmed by Francis' crew when she was only 16 years old after producers solicited her into participating in sexually-provocative videos.
According to reports, Francis settled the court case by dropping his countersuit against the woman, who posed for his camera crew in 2002.
But the dropped lawsuit isn't the last of Francis' legal troubles - he currently faces federal tax evasion charges in California.
