"HEY JOE"...YOU ARE GOING AWAY FOR A LONG TIME!



With all the latest Joe Francis "the pimp scumbag" controversy, I am so thrilled to hear more good news about his criminal status! Just yesterday he was arrested on federal warrant stemming from a civil lawsuit brought against him by seven underage women who were filmed by his company in 2003. The contempt citation was issued after Francis rebuffed a judge's order to settle the case with the aid of a mediator.


Now TODAY he was indicted on FEDERAL TAX EVASION CHARGES! What did he do?


  • Illegally deducted more than $20 million in phony business expenses in 2002 and 2003.
  • He concealed income through offshore companies.
  • He transferred $15 million from one offshore account to a California brokerage account in the name of a Cayman Islands corporation he controlled.
  • If he's CONVICTED he faces a maximum of 10 years in prison and fines of up to $500,000!!!


Read his indictment HERE


See? Karma DOES work! Am I am soooo glad to see it. Maybe someone should make do a "Prisoners Gone Wild" so we can watch Joe flash us and be degraded!? I'd buy it!!!

AMY BRADLEY--RUMORED SIGHTING IN BARBADOS!



WHAT AMY MAY LOOK LIKE NOW




The first sketch is that of an individual who was seen in Barbados in March of 2005 and believed to have resembled Amy Bradley. The second sketch is that of man who was thought to have been with the woman who resembled Bradley.

The FBI is seeking information regarding the identity of these two individuals. They may have information about the disappearance of Amy Bradley in 1998.

The first Unknown Male (#1) has been described as White; in his late 30's or early 40's; between 5'11" and 6'1"; balding; with red hair and a red beard. The second Unknown Male (#2) has been described as being in his early 30's; approximately 5'11"; with dark, wavy, shoulder length hair.

Background on Amy Bradley

Born May 12, 1974

Missing since March 24, 1998 from the Rhapsody of the Seas cruise ship while vacationing with her family. The ship was en route to Curacao, Antilles at the time Amy was last seen. The ship docked in Curacao shortly after Amy was discovered missing.

Three men who worked on the cruise ship befriended Amy and said they wanted to take her to a bar in Aruba. 

There are confirmed reports of a sighting by a Naval officer one year after Amy disappeared. The officer told the FBI he went to a brothel in Curacao in 1999. He said an American girl leaned in and said: "My name is Amy Bradley I need your help." Unfortunately he didn't report the sighting for some time and by then the brothel had burned to the ground. (source)

According to the Naval officer at that time, two men in the bar removed her and told her to move and go upstairs. (source)

Two Canadians also told Bradley they saw her daughter Amy on the beach in 1998, described her tattoos and her demeanor but did not know she was missing. (source)

Incidentally, former suspect, Steve Croes of the Natalee Holloway case was working on the same cruise ship when Amy Bradley disappeared. Click here for my December, 2005 article with private investigator Rich Strom regarding this curious 'coincidence'.

Barbados will not tolerate any modern forms of slavery

As Barbados and the rest of the world celebrates the 200th Anniversary of the abolition of the Transatlantic Slave Trade in Britain, we must ensure that anyone practicing modern forms of slavery will feel the full weight of the law.

Citing an example, Minister of State in the Prime Minister's Office and Member of Parliament for St. Michael West, Reverend Joseph Atherley, stated that Government had the duty to crack down on the practice of human trafficking in Barbados. He noted that there are instances in which people from Europe and elsewhere in the Caribbean are being manipulated and tricked into coming to Barbados, where they are often forced to engage in prostitution.

He also mentioned that some 250 million children world-wide are forced to engage in child labour, and that instances where people were grossly underpaid for their work, which he referred to as wage slavery, were other issues we had to grapple with 200 years after the abolition of the slave trade.

During his contribution to the debate on the resolution to commemorate the occasion in the House of Assembly, Atherley also came out in support of reparations. He noted that in 1807, the British Government paid slave owners 20 million pounds in compensation for loss of property, and that Haiti had to pay reparations to France for 100 years following its declaration of independence from France in 1804.

Atherley also quoted Lord Gifford, who described the slave trade as a crime against humanity, and stated that the hardships many descendants of Africans faced today were a direct consequence of that period in our history.

The MP for St. Michael West also called on Barbados to stay away from "polarising politics", which divided countries along racial lines, stating that this practice had created major problems in other Caribbean countries over the years.

YOU CAN RUN, JOE, BUT YOU CAN'T HIDE!



WHY I HATE JOE FRANCIS


I HATE Joe Francis. He is the infamous creator of the low-budget videos, "Girls Gone Wild". He is only 34, yet is the epitome of a true misogynist and a pimp to boot. He makes money off inebriated women who he encourages to flash their breasts, privates and perform sexual acts on camera.


One can say that it is the woman's fault for their own actions, but the difference is that he PREYS on girls during spring break and other areas where women are on vacation and are under the influence of intoxicants. In fact, some of them have been MINORS. He is a sick bastard and I hope he ROTS IN HELL when he meets his maker.


I am embarrassed and ashamed for his mother. What kind of parents would raise their son to believe it is morally acceptable to capitalize on this kind of "business"? It's wrong and it's disgusting.


At least strippers and porn stars get PAID.

The only person who gets paid is JOE FRANCIS.


So I am thrilled to report that Joe Francis was arrested today in Florida at the Panama City airport on a warrant for criminal contempt of court. A judge ordered Francis's arrest last week after Francis reportedly changed the terms of a settlement deal stemming from a 2003 lawsuit in which seven women accused him of victimizing them by filming them in sexual situations while they were on spring break in Panama City.


Francis was ordered by U.S. District Judge Richard Smoak to surrender to authorities in Panama City by noon last Thursday to begin serving jail time for contempt of court, but Francis never showed up! Yet he told Geraldo on Monday, "I'm not trying to hide at all. I'm on my way to Florida right now to turn myself in and comply with the judge's order. I would never run from justice."


How could he have not been arrested then? If he didn't show up on Thursday, then a warrant for his arrest should have been ordered and they could have arrested him during his interview!




WHY DO I HATE JOE FRANCIS? HERE'S AN EXAMPLE:


In an August 6, 2006 issue of West (the Sunday magazine of the Los Angeles Times), an article by Claire Hoffman followed Francis across the country. In it, Hoffman bore witness to Francis' numerous alleged illegal activities, including habitual supply of alcohol to underage girls.


Hoffman reported Francis' alleged rape of an 18 year old virgin, Jannel Szyszka. Quoting Szyska, who was under the legal drinking age in the USA and had allegedly been supplied by alcohol by Francis and her entourage, Hoffman wrote, "Eventually, Szyszka says, Francis told the cameraman to leave and pushed her back on the bed, undid his jeans and climbed on top of her.


"I told him it hurt, and he kept doing it. And I keep telling him it hurts. I said, 'No' twice in the beginning, and during I started saying, 'Oh, my god, it hurts.' I kept telling him it hurt, but he kept going, and he said he was sorry but kissed me so I wouldn't keep talking." ... Then, she says, he opened the door and told the cameraman to come back, saying, "She's not a virgin anymore."...She says she's haunted by that night".



After the report was published, Francis denied that he engaged in sexual intercourse with Szyszka, while his lawyer claimed that intercourse had occurred consensually.



Hoffman also reported that she herself was assaulted and "humiliated" physically by Francis in front of his cheering entourage, stating that "the pressure he applied was so intense that hours later, my arms were covered in red hand marks".



MORE REASONS I HATE JOE FRANCIS:

  • Francis has been criticised by social commentators and third wave feminists such as Ariel Levy for perpetuating "the new double standard" which equates the objectification of women with sexual liberation.

  • Francis' rap sheet include allegations of rape, sexual assault and conspiracy to use minors in sexual performances. The recurring allegations include that women engaged in sexual activity were covertly filmed without their consent, and that Mantra films (his company) engaged in sexual exploitation of minors.
  • In an incident at Panama City Beach, Florida, during spring break 2003, Francis was arrested and initially charged with 71 separate counts which included racketeering, drug trafficking, and child pornography.
  • In March 2004, a Texas college student accused Francis of raping her in his Miami hotel room. She told police that after she met Francis in a bar in South Beach, Florida, where they argued over the morality of "Girls Gone Wild" videos, she went to his room at the Ritz-Carlton for a drink and awoke the next morning in bed next to him with no memory of the previous evening after Francis had offered her a drink. Again, Francis reported that he had consensual sex with the woman.
  • In 2000, the property manager of Francis' Santa Monica apartment, Stephanie Van de Motter, obtained a restraining order requiring that he stay at least 100 yards away from her. She said that Francis, upset about the noise garbage collectors made in the mornings, had harassed and threatened her twice by climbing up to her bedroom window and pounding violently on the glass while screaming obscenities at her. He also appeared in her office several times asking for her by using the "c-word" and left messages with her co-worker saying, "Tell the bitch this is war."
  • In 2003, Darian Mathias-Patterson, who scouted locations and arranged for the rental of a space for a Halloween party Francis threw, filed a police report that he threatened to kill her when she told him she couldn't return his $25,000 deposit because the 2,000 guests had trashed the place. She told police he said, "I'm going to fucking get you, you fucking whore" and repeatedly used the "c-word". Two weeks later, Mathias-Patterson, who was pregnant, miscarried. She later sued Francis and his company in Los Angeles County Superior Court for emotional distress, and the case was settled for an undisclosed amount.
  • In 2002, Becky Lynn Gritzke discovered that she had been covertly filmed flashing her breasts at a Mardi Gras festival and that the image had been used without her permission on billboards advertising Girls' Gone Wild videos and even on the cover of a GGW video.
