Angeleno of the Week: Joe Francis

Sleaze, thy name is Joe Francis.

But apparently karma does exist. It's been a bad week for Francis, the "Girls Gone Wild" creator who began the week by being jailed Tuesday in a Florida jail for criminal contempt.

Wednesday, Francis was indicted for tax evasion. (According to People, "The indictment, handed down Wednesday by a federal grand jury in Reno, Nev., alleges that Francis's companies, Mantra Films Inc. and its marketing arm, Sands Media Inc., claimed more than $20 million in false business deductions in 2002 and 2003," among other allegations.)

Then Friday, Francis was charged with bribing a jail guard for a bottle of water and possessing prescription sleeping pills.

Heckuva job, there, Joe.

Just in case you're feeling a tad bad for the guy, read the August profile on Francis in the Los Angeles Times here. But be careful -- you may need to take a shower after.

For having such a bad seven days, Joe Francis, you're our Angeleno of the Week!
