GIRLS GONE WILD FOUNDER FRANCIS: CONTEMPT-IBLE

CONTEMPT-IBLE

GIRLS Gone Wild founder Joe Francis is being held in contempt of court in a civil case brought against him by four young women who were filmed by his crew when they were underage.
Despite earning an estimated $5 million a year from the franchise which gives out baseball caps, t-shirts, shorts or a cap to attractive women who agree to expose themselves, the media mogul is representing himself in the Panama City, FLA court.
And his inexperience in courtroom procedure has be shown up, as Judge Richard Smoak has repeatedly scolded him for his attitude.   

He also had to instruct Francis on how to cross examine a plaintiff, telling him:  "Everything you say needs to have a question mark after it," according to WMBB.
Francis replied saying, "I'm going to make it like Jeopardy, your honor."
Unimpressed by the seedy sexual video make the judge ruled he was in contempt for violating an evidentiary rule during cross examination of a witness and ended Francis' cross examination of that witness immediately.
He was fined $2,500 for contempt of court.

It's not the first time the 37-year-old has been in legal. 

In March he was convicted on child abuse and prostitution charges after pleading no contests in a plea bargain.  

He also pleaded guilty to charges related to having contraband in his cell during the time he was held in jail and was sentenced to time served 339 days and more than $60,000 in fines and costs.
He was also sued for $2million by Wynn resorts for an unpaid gambling debt.
