WAYNE COUNTY, Mich. — While waiting on a charge of federal tax evasion, a Michigan inmate was found to be running a multimillion dollar porn and strip club business from his cell.
Francis Sharrak was in jail for 18 months on charges related to the same porn business, as reported by the Examiner. He was representing himself and asked for a computer to help with his research.
According to the inmate, a court order was issued to allow him to have the computer, but this information was false.
It is unclear how Sharrak obtained the computer and internet access. A fired veteran civil employee may be involved, as suggested by an internal probe.
Sharrak was sentenced to six years in a federal penitentiary in Virginia and must make restitution of $4.2 million.
