GGW: Proof she was 18.

Girls Gone Wild entrepreneur Joe Francis today released a video featuring radio’s favorite working girl that “proves” she was 18 (legal) at the time she spent a week aboard the GGW bus recording lots of fun video.  This is in response to the lawsuit Ashley Dupre filed claiming she was 17.

The defense can easily claim she produced identification and consent.  Unfortunately, the ID was fake and she was obviously drunk and possibly unable to legally consent to his taping.  It’s a toss-up, but the courts have already proven they are no fans of Joe’s work.  I wonder if they’re even less of a fan of Ashley’s.

MIAMI — The founder of “Girls Gone Wild” released a video Tuesday he said proved that the call girl involved in a scandal that brought down New York’s former governor agreed to be filmed in 2003 for the raunchy series.

The release came one day after series founder Joe Francis and his companies were sued for $10 million in Miami federal court by Ashley Alexandra Dupre, who claims she was only 17 at the time and too young to sign a binding contract. Dupre, now 22, also accused Francis of exploiting her image and name on various Internet sites.

In the new release, Dupre appears covered by a terrycloth towel and gives her name as Amber Arpaio. An unseen questioner asks if she is 18.

The video also displays a New Jersey driver’s license with the Amber Arpaio name and a birth date that would have made her appear to be in her 20s.”
