Reply #29: Actually, not always. I understand he does some of his filming in Mexico and other locales where

the age is less than 21. And I imagine he doesn't do ALL his trolling in bars...in fact, I believe his MO is to hold a private party in some instances--at least that's how the commercials come across. In any event, if he does go into a bar to find his victims, the bar isn't a joint partner in the venture, so the bar's responsibility--serving booze to minors (if they even did that--not all bars check IDs at the door, some do it at point of sale--and if you are ordering a coke, and adding your own vodka or whatever in the restroom, who's to know?) is quite separate from his.

The bar is not a party to the contract between GGW and the drunken teen.

The judge isn't going to take "assuming" as an excuse, I don't think!

I don't think it's tough at all--if I were those teens, or the parents of those teens, I'd be looking for one hell of a payday.

I'm not looking at this from a moral aspect at all, the girls may have behaved "wildly" or foolishly, they may not have been 'raised right,' but all that is beside the point. The GGW guy got sloppy when it came to entering into a contract. He's rich, he has lawyers, and he should know better. It's one thing to FILM, it's quite another to distribute without checking the bona fides, to include age verification, of the young drunks with whom you contracted. And that ain't real hard to do--it wouldn't make a hint of a dent into his operating expenses. IMO, the guy was both lazy and greedy.

I'd put that GGW clown in major check-writing mode, and I'd make him pull those videos from the shelves to boot.
