‘Girls Gone Wild’ trial site shifted
From Times Staff and Wire Reports
The tax evasion trial of “Girls Gone Wild” founder Joe Francis has been moved to Los Angeles.
A federal judge granted the change of venue from Reno, saying it was justified because Francis and all but a few of those expected to testify live in Southern California.
A federal grand jury indicted Francis, 35, and his companies, Mantra Films Inc. and Sands Media Inc., in April 2007, on two counts of tax evasion.
