Jurors shown Kennebuck Zumba teacher Alexis Wright in sex video
Zumba brothel clients face naming
From: News Limited Network, March 01, 2013 5:11PM

IT IS only getting worse for clients of an alleged illegal brothel in a Zumba fitness studio. Pornographic videos have surfaced. THE names of 150 alleged clients of a fitness instructor who ran a brothel from her Zumba fitness studio to be released pending appeal. JURORS were shown a video of an accused Zumba teacher having sex with a 61-year-old man as her business partner watched from home via Skype. Alexis Wright, 30, is accused of running a prostitution operation out of her former Zumba studio in Kennebuck, Maine, for more than a year-and-a-half.

Business partner Mark Strong, 57, faces 12 counts of promotion of prostitution and a single count of invasion of privacy. He has pleaded not guilty. The video evidence was recorded by Wright herself on a camera hidden in lingerie, showing her negotiating a fee and then collecting a pile of cash after the sex act, Seacoast Online reported. Prosecutors allege Strong was listening in and watching live via Skype during the entire encounter and later discussed booking other clients for Wright, pushing her to sleep with three clients in one day instead of two.  

In between clients, she discusses her schedule of clients with a man who is watching through the video camera. Prosecutors allege that man is Strong.
"I'd like to schedule only two one-hour appointments tomorrow instead of 45," Wright says, talking to the camera.
"Nice to get three in somehow,” the man's voice says.
When Wright says that she has "school" the next day, the man suggests she "fit three in today." Wright replies that would be 'pushing it.'

The time stamp on the 36-minute video shown to the jurors in Alfred, Maine, which was seized from Wright's home, corresponds with the time on 45 Skype video screen shots that were downloaded from Strong's computer, an investigator testified. Seacoast Online reports that in other videos, the pair discuss rates and sexual services that Wright offers. Strong, a married father of two, says he funded Wright's exercise studio with a loan and acted as her business partner. He also admits that he had an affair with her and his lawyers concede that he may have watched her online as she had sex with other men.

However, his lawyers argue Strong, a local real estate broker and private investigator, had no idea Wright was allegedly receiving money for the sex or that she was running a prostitution business.

Prosecutors say the video shows that Strong not only knew Wright was having sex for money, he was helping her book and schedule clients. Yesterday the jury was shown video of the alleged Zumba prostitute dropping her towel and posing naked in front of the windows of her Maine exercise studio - the raciest evidence so far in the trial of Alexis Wright's business partner. Strong's lawyers admit that the footage, which appears to be amateur porn Wright shot, is shocking, but they say it has no bearing on the case and that it will only bias the jury.

Jurors also saw about two dozen pictures Strong captured on his home computer while he watched live Skype broadcasts of Wright allegedly having sex with clients in her Zumba exercise studio. Detectives say they recovered 13,000 still images from Strong's computer, many of them sexually explicit pictures that he captured from videos of Wright having sex with alleged johns.

Robert Labonte, 61, of Saco, Maine, was charged with engaging a prostitute on October 16 in relation to the case and is included on the state's witness list for Strong's trial. There are 18 men, who were charged with paying Wright for sex, included on the witness list and prosecutors said they have all pleaded guilty. Wright has pleaded not guilty to charges of prostitution and invasion of privacy. Her trial is scheduled for May.
