I imagine that they would have to prove in a court of law that they were impaired when they gave consent before they sued. But the settings (nightclubs, parties) where these scenes are filmed would certainly handicap GWW in a court.Originally Posted by Squirt

Yeah, I know it's not a legal document. But I didn't feel like googling forever.Informed consent is a legal condition whereby a person can be said to have given consent based upon an appreciation and understanding of the facts and implications of an action. The individual needs to be in possession of relevant facts and also of his reasoning faculties, such as not being mentally retarded or mentally ill and without an impairment of judgment at the time of consenting. Such impairments might include illness, intoxication, drunkenness, using drugs, insufficient sleep, and other health problems.
Wow! Can I tell you guys have never been girls! Do you know how easy it is to coerce a 18 year old kid? Especially a drunk one? Who you have managed to get to sign a consent form?
Even when young women KNOW their rights (and generally, they don't) - enforcing them is a whole 'nother matter. There is a GOOD reason most women don't EVER report being raped. Because, honestly, unless you've been beaten, it just ain't worth it.
As far as I am concerned, this bastard ain't nothin but a serial rapist with some high priced attorney's covering his a$$.
I have been watching stories about this Francis for a while now. He's SLIME. DIRT. The CRUD between my .... fill it in with your imagination.

APRIL 19--"Girls Gone Wild" founder Joseph Francis today filed a $25 million defamation lawsuit against the Texas woman who last month accused him of rape. Claiming that he would not "sit back and be called a rapist," Francis filed the below Florida Circuit Court lawsuit against the 21-year-woman and a friend who accompanied her to Francis's Ritz Carlton suite after a night of South Beach partying. Francis, 31, contends that he engaged in consensual sex with the woman--identified as Amy Doe in his complaint--and even had lunch with the alleged victim and her pal the following day. Along with the $25 million, Francis is also seeking to be reimbursed the $36 he shelled out for the medium rare burgers the women ordered from room service. (8 pages)

OCTOBER 30--Already facing criminal charges for allegedly filming underage girls naked, "Girls Gone Wild" boss Joseph Francis and his cohorts have just been sued by the parents of six teenagers who claim they were sexually exploited during this year's spring break in Panama City......Francis paid two teenagers to engage in sexual conduct in a motel shower and tried to pull up a 17-year-old's shirt in a bid to expose her breasts. His employees were charged with giving booze spiked with "drugs or additional stimulants" to a 16-year-old who was then "coerced" into engage in sexual conduct with a friend. The complaint also alleges that "Girls Gone Wild" representatives "cajoled, harassed, intimidated and persuaded" a 15-year-old girl to flash her breasts on camera.

There are LOTS of stories about this guy, just like these ones, and I am sure there are thousands of stories from young women too ashamed of themselves to come forward. I hope they put him in the general population, where he gets to be someones bitch for a few really really long years.
And... the problem is, as long as it's just flashing breasts, the Feds can't do anything under 2257, because it isn't a violation. They can rightfully claim they are "in 2257 compliance" and still have a bunch of underage girls flashing their boobs.
The guy is definitely sleazy. Be interesting to see if a bunch of his then-inebriated victims could create a class action.
Don't any of you guys have the TV on late at night? GGW hasn't been only about tittie flashing for years now. I haven't actually watched any of their videos but the commercials sure make it look pretty hardcore to me... girl/girl sex scenes seem to be pretty common and I think they have boy/girl as well.
I suspect that the deal is they keep 2257 records for the explicit stuff, and no records for the nonexplicit stuff. Their index page for girlsgonewild.com isn't even compliant! There's no 2257 notice until you get inside the site, and they have language indicating that some of their content is exempt, which is what leads me to believe they keep no records on the girls who flash tits and do nothing else, meaning, they have no way of knowing whether the girls are of age or not, unless they shoot explicit content of them.
Mind you, this is conjecture, but they've never claimed to have docs for all their girls, only that they are "completely compliant."
