Porn peddler Joe Francis has been warned not to publish saucy videotapes of Eliot Spitzer call girl Ashley Dupre – because she is underage in them.
Francis, the founder of the Girls Gone Wild franchise, withdrew a $1m offer to shoot Dupre nude after he unwittingly found her frolicking in old tapes.
Lawyers for Dupre say that the video was shot in March 2003, a month before Dupre turned 18.
But Francis has shrugged off the request, saying that the tapes do not show any actual sex.
“The lawyers looked at the tape and said since there is no sexual contact it doesn’t matter if she was underage. It will be released.
“There is a discrepancy between when they say it was shot and when we know it was shot.
“I just think it is a clever negotiating tactic.”
Eliot Spitzer was forced to resign his post as Governor of New York earlier this month after it emerged he was a high-profile client of a prostitution ring.
Married Spitzer, who was known as ‘Client 9′, allegedly paid more than $4,000 for sex with Dupre in a Washington D.C hotel room in February.
She has been tipped to make more than $1m in deals following the scandal.
