Dumbass Joe Francis Shot An Underage Ashley Dupree

gonzo · 03-20-2008

NY- Ashley Dupre may have been more like a child gone wild when she bared her breasts for the "Girls Gone Wild" cameras.

Dupre's lawyers said yesterday that the video was shot in March 2003 - a month shy of the high-priced hooker's 18th birthday, making the sexy footage kiddie porn.

But "Girls Gone Wild" head honcho Joe Francis says he plans to go ahead with a release of a video of the jiggly sexpot-for-hire who brought down Gov. Spitzer because none of the tapes depict overt sexual contact.

"The lawyers looked at the tape, and said since there is no sexual contact; it doesn't matter if she was underage," he said. "It will be released."

Plus, Francis said the tape was shot later than Dupre's lawyers alleged, and he thinks it's just a ploy to forestall the tape's release - which could hurt her negotiating positions.

"There is a discrepancy between when they say it was shot and when we know it was shot. I just think it is a clever negotiating tactic," he said. Dupre's lawyer did not return several messages seeking comment.

Considering how quickly he yanked his million dollar offer, I'd say it's true. Dumbass.

"Valid News" trumps "age" on every public occasion.

Much as he's slime, it's still "newsworthy."

it all depends how it is presented. In any other presentation than as "news", they would be taking a huge risk. Further, the newsworthy aspects often apply when the images are used without knowledge of the person's age - clearly knowing that someone is underage, exposing their breasts in a sexual manner pretty much makes this a risky move. I am sure his lawyers have told him it is okay, and those may be the same lawyers that helped him make the settlement in other cases in Florida.

This also draws a clear line between the GGW people and the responsible parts of the adult industry that realize that just because there may be a 1% loophole that makes the material legal under very restrictive circumstances doesn't make it a good move.

Further, I think this is a clear indication that the GGW shoots are not careful about the ages of the performers in their videos. It makes you wonder what other little secrets are out there.

.

All very "Fuzzy" and arguable.
A good attorney, which Joe can afford, can probably knock the shit out of it.

Free speech is a very slippery slope to start "prosecuting" for....especially on an issue like this.

Greed amazes me.

Joe can live well the rest of his life....presumably. Let me restate that. Joe has made enough money that he SHOULD be able to live well the rest of his life.

He just got out of jail. He was fighting hard to get out of jail and really whining about being in there, so again I have to assume that is NOT a place he LIKES to be.

You'd think those two might make him take a little more conservative business approach. The greed of cashing in on a tabloid celebrity is just too much for him to pass up though.
