Martin Bashir Eye-witness to Illegal Sexual Conduct, Lawyer Says

Lawyers for “Girls Gone Wild” founder Joe Francis want ABC’s “Nightline” reporter Martin Bashir to tell what he knows to a judge about whether State Attorney Steve Meadows showed him child pornography during an interview.

A hearing is scheduled for Feb. 8 to address a motion from Miami attorney Roy Black seeking dismissal of the 2003 criminal charges against Francis, or the case moved out of Panama City, because Meadows reportedly violated state law and legal ethics by showing Bashir a tape of the “shower scene” that is at the center of the case against Francis.
