All-female jury in Florida civil trial rejects claims that the "Girls Gone Wild" founder "took advantage" of four women when he taped them flashing their breasts and engaging in other X-rated behavior.

Good that he was found not liable, but holy hell a guy that sells porn featuring women is tried by a jury comprised entirely of women? What happened during selection for that jury.

If they signed releases--which they would have to do, or it would be illegal--then they haven't a leg to stand on. Seems it was all in the right.

Women know women. LOL!

An all-male jury would have found him guilty, preferring to cling to their chivalrous illusions about the feminine mystique.

whoever stacked that jury forgot that women are the prime perpetrators of slut shaming

I've DJed and bounced at bars hosting GGW nights. They are very exacting about getting releases and checking for IDs at those events.

This reminds me about the case where the woman who got her top pulled up on GGW camera sued them and lost. In fact, I got into a long jousting match over in r/feminisms over that case.

The judge ruled against her because the video clearly showed her dancing for the camera before the other woman came from behind her and pulled up her top. My argument was that what she should have done was went after the woman for assault rather than going after GGW. If she had done that, then either the woman would have been paid under the table to plead out, or she would have sold GGW out (as it was alleged that the woman worked for them and was under "orders" to pull up the plaintiff's top) and admitted wrongdoing.

Either way, both of these were just sour grapes/morning after regret lawsuits from drunk women who got loose after too much alcohol.

"I was very surprised because it's not often that you find a jury that actually follows the law," Seaton-Virga told the newspaper.

God bless America!

He's a jerk, but he's an innocent jerk.

All-female jury? Looks like the lawyers chose poorly when jury-picking.

Francis had to stop representing himself after the judge found him in contempt of court and fined him $2,500 after he asked one of the plaintiffs if she was a prostitute

I'm sure his exact words were "Ma'am, are you a prostitute?"
