Joe Francis in More Hot Water as Girls Gone Wild Sued for Sexual Harassment
Girls Gone Wild founder Joe Francis continues to find himself on the wrong side of the law as he was recently named in a sexual harassment suit filed by a former sales representative for Mantra Films Inc. and GGW.
Francis was not directly accused of any sexual harassment charges but was taken to task for not properly managing the two companies and failing to acknowledge or prevent the acts from occurring.
Tranae Hammond has claimed that she was sexually harassed on several occasions by a supervisor named Ron. She then claims that she was fired after reporting the repeated incidents.
Hammond’s lawsuit states that her supervisor created a hostile work environment after touching and massaging her shoulders and speaking about sex in front of her.
The lawsuit was filed in Los Angeles Superior Court on Monday.
Joe Francis is currently serving time in a Reno, Nv. jail for a federal tax evasion case.
