Joe Francis just got out of jail in Nevada where is still facing tax evasion charges and now he’s been hit with a $10 million law suit from Ashley Alexandra Dupre. You remember her, the call girl at the center of New York Governor Eliot Spitz’s sex scandal.

She claims that Girls Gone Wild founder Francis exploited her name and image for profit. Ashley claims that GGW approached her while she was on vaca in Florida when she was 17. The standard operating procedure of GGW ensued, they offered her booze then talked her into exposing her breasts. Since then she claims ‘they have used her name, picture, voice and likeness in a number of deceptive ad campaigns.’

Francis said he was “surprised and in fact amazed” by the lawsuit, noting he has not released new video of Dupré “due to corporate policy of not using footage of individuals younger than 18″ and asserting she gave her consent on video, providing identification.

“She’s seeking $10 million for topless photos taken in front of a room full of people, including two newspapers and multiple crews we had in the room,” adds Francis. “These images were taken in public places and contain no sexual contact. We expect to triumph in this matter.”
