2 women sue `Girls Gone Wild' creator

PANAMA CITY, Fla. - Two Florida women have sued "Girls Gone Wild" creator Joe Francis and his film company, alleging a sexually explicit video was released without their consent.

In the federal lawsuit filed Monday in Panama City, Brooke Pastolic and Christina Brose said they were enticed to board a "Girls Gone Wild" tour bus with the promise of free clothing. Once onboard, they allegedly were given alcoholic drinks even though both were younger than 21.

According to the lawsuit, the cameramen then coerced the women into exposing themselves and engaging in sexual activities, but repeatedly stated they would not use footage in a video. However, the footage appeared on two separate "Girls Gone Wild" DVDs.

The women claim the footage was used without their consent, and if they did give consent, it was obtained illegally by "Girls Gone Wild" representatives giving them alcohol.

When and where the footage was taped isn't stated in the lawsuit. The women's attorney, Christopher Hill, didn't immediately return a message Wednesday.

The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages.

"Girls Gone Wild" crews don't serve alcohol on their tour buses and ask women for identification to verify their age, Michael Burke, attorney for Francis' Mantra Films Inc., told The News Herald.

Francis, 34, remains in a Nevada jail on federal tax evasion charges. He was granted bail after pleading not guilty in that case, but stayed in jail to avoid the possibility of being sent to Florida to be arrested on charges of possessing contraband and drugs while in the Bay County Jail in May.

He is also charged in Florida with using minors in sexual performances, conspiring to use minors in sexual performances and prostitution.

Here's a thought - be a little more discriminating about which strange men holding video cameras you choose to strip for.

The lawsuit should be thrown out. Anybody stupid enough to take off clothes in front of perfect strangers with cameras or video cameras shouldn’t be able to get damages. Especially when it was on the bus of someone known for selling images of naked women. You shouldn’t get paid just for being stupid. Alas in this country that works. Look at that woman who got millions for burning herself with coffee. Or look at the GM of the Atlanta Hawks.

How did these broads make it this far?

The first pervert with a rapist van and a bag of candy should have carted them off long ago.

The woman who sued McDonalds for her burns suffered after spilling coffee on herself had her case overturned by a higher court and never collected a dime. If this law suit is allowed to continue, and these "women" lose, they should be made to pay all fees associated with the law suit. Stupidity should not be rewarded.

I'm guessing it looked
something like this. Twenty years
from now, their grand kids

will be laughing and
say, "Grandma was cool!" The girls
should just blush, move on...

I agree, but I’m not going to waste any breath defending the scumbag who produces these vids. I’m not an anti-porn crusader and I abhor censorship of any kind, but this guy is an a-hole with some very questionable business practices, and karma can be a real bitch.
