BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. - Girls Gone Wild founder Joe Francis spoke about his release from jail and his upcoming plans at a news conference Thursday morning at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.
Alongside prominent news stations, AVN Online was the only adult news source in attendance.
"I, after 11 months of incarceration, pleaded ?no contest' to several charges in Florida," Francis said. "I am 100 percent innocent of these charges, and the only reason that I took this plea offer was to get out of jail. I was being held illegally without bail in the U.S. for over 11 months. It was time to get out. I had this plea offer on the table for quite some time before that, and I chose to take it simply to get out of jail, not because I committed any crime whatsoever.
