'Girls Gone Wild' Founder Settles Another Lawsuit

PANAMA CITY, Fla. (AP) ― "Girls Gone Wild" video founder Joe Francis has settled another of the many legal cases against his soft porn empire.

The 35-year-old multimillionaire reached a settlement this week with a Panama City woman who said she was 16 when filmed flashing her breast in 2002. Her picture was on the cover of a popular video.

Francis' attorney says the woman will not be paid but will be freed of a countersuit alleging she abused the legal process.

Francis was released following a year in jail in March after pleading no contest to child abuse and prostitution for filming underage Panama City girls. He is facing federal tax evasion charges in California.
