AUGUST 11--Snoop Doggy Dogg, the auteur behind the hit video "Girls Gone Wild Doggy Style," enticed a 17-year-old girl (and her 18-year-old friend) to flash his camera by offering the young women marijuana and Ecstasy, according to a Florida sheriff's investigator. Snoop (real name: Calvin Broadus) allegedly tendered the "illegal narcotics" last February while he and the Girls Gone Wild crew were in New Orleans filming during Mardi Gras, according to the below affidavit sworn by Faith Bell, an investigator with the Bay County Sheriff's Office. The document was recently filed in connection with the ongoing criminal prosecution of Girls Gone Wild founder Joseph Francis, who is facing charges that he and some employees knowingly videotaped underage girls naked, possessed drugs like cocaine and Hydrocodone, and promoted prostitution while filming this spring in Panama City. The inclusion of Snoop's Mardi Gras hijinks in the Florida affidavit was apparently done to establish the firm's alleged pattern of using minors in its productions. Jaime Capdeboscq, who was 17 when filmed topless, is now suing Snoop, Francis, and Girls Gone Wild in federal court for improperly using her image (which, by the way, appears on the cover of the "Girls Gone Wild Doggy Style" DVD and video as well as in TV and Internet ads for the production. Capdeboscq and pal Whitni Candiotto--who's also suing--are pictured bookending Snoop as they flash the camera. In a recent court filing, Snoop contended that the women voluntarily exposed themselves and "voluntarily consumed alcohol and other intoxicants" during the filming.

This brings back some memories.

Oh please. Rappers got lotsa "bling bling", therefore they are above the law, just like anyone else with a bunch of money. Why even waste our time? Calvin Broadus will just pay a few bucks for lawyers and he'll skate. Our legal system is the best that money can buy. I wonder how much the judge will pocket from this case?

All he's requesting is an appropriate credit at the end of the movie. ;-)

You're a good-looking babe and you show up for a rapper's video shoot and you expect what, exactly?

Well, you know, these girls are so innocent...they don't have a clue what they're doing! /sarcasm

Snoop offered teen age girls drugs to take their clothes off. Oh my, that is a surprise!

You know, if you run those videos backwards, it kinda looks like, "Girls have learned their lesson"

I find it interesting that giving marijuana and ecstasy to an 18-year-old is such a non-issue. Sure, it's mentioned in the article ("and her 18-year-old friend"), but it's a yawner.

I suspect that even giving the drugs to the 17-year-old is no biggie. It's the 17-year-old taking off her shirt that gets the focus. The journalist must be a Republican -- you know, for those Republicans, it's always about sex.

Sadly, you are most likely correct in how this will play out.

However, Calvin has been really pushing it in terms of his probation, so some judge is either gonna' get a mega huge manilla envelope, or the right kinda' of judge will feel compelled to follow the law and re-issue his old orange jumpsuit..

I've always kind of liked Snoop, but he's really blowing his second chances and I think it's time he pays the piper.
