Joe Francis is a Free Man

“GIRLS Gone Wild” creator Joe Francis is a free man after 11 months behind bars.

Unlike previous years, where he spent time overseeing spring break filming, Francis retreated to his office to prepare for the launch of his new “Girls Gone Wild” magazine, set to hit newsstands on April 15th.

Page Six reports,

Francis headed straight to his office yesterday to get back to work. “We’re filming at every spring break location, 14 cities right now. We’ve got 50 or 60 camera guys out there,” Francis told Page Six from Florida, where he pleaded no contest to charges of videotaping underage girls and was released for time served.

His lawyer, Roy Black, said, “It’s a big victory for Joe. He’s such a high-energy guy. He couldn’t stand being in jail.” Francis planned to fly back to LA immediately.

Unlike past years, when he’d hit beach resorts in Florida, Texas and Mexico to oversee the spring break filming, he’ll be in his office. “I’ve got a magazine to put out,” he explained.

The first Girls Gone Wild magazine is due to hit newsstands April 15 at $9.99 a copy, poly-bagged with a full-length CD featuring drunken exhibitionist co-eds. Francis said Curtis Circulation had already lined up 50,000 retail outlets.

Let’s just hope that Francis has learned and is making sure that all those girls being filmed are over the age of 18.
