'Girls Gone Wild' video prompts lawsuit

PANAMA CITY, Fla., June 13 (UPI) -- A lawsuit filed in Panama City, Fla., has accused "Girls Gone Wild" producers of releasing a videotaped sex scene without the permission of those involved.

Filed on behalf of Brooke Patsolic and Christina Brose, the lawsuit accused "Wild" producers Joe Francis and Mantra Films Inc. of selling footage of the women's sex scene together despite making promises to the contrary, the Panama City (Fla.) News Herald said Wednesday.

The lawsuit alleged that after the women were taken onto a bus by "Wild" cameramen, they were promised that no filmed footage of their sexual exploits would be included in any videos.

The explicit footage was included on two "Girls Gone Wild" videos.

In addition, the suit alleges that the women were given alcohol by the "Wild" officials despite being underage at the time.

The newspaper said that a lawyer for Mantra Films Inc. said the women signed release forms while being videotaped and said that the company's film crews never provide women with alcohol.
