Francis was recently found guilty of assaulting a woman two years ago. “All I did was do a nice thing,” he says, recounting how he invited the women home after meeting them at the Supper Club in Hollywood. “It just proves that any celebrity in Hollywood should never give a ride home to any girls. I mean, there were 20 people in the afterparty. They [say they] got their head slammed on a tile floor and they were imprisoned here for hours. They said it was here on the tile floor. I don’t see any tile right here. Now you’ve been here for hours. Have you been imprisoned?”

"That’s the maximum.” So why has the media reported that he could face five years in prison? “Because they’re reporters, and they’re a–holes, of course.” (The maximum could be five years, according to prosecutors, but legal sources believe such a sentence is unlikely.)
