A
real estate mogul, a wealthy financier, a high-powered attorney-at-law
and a former mayor have all been indicted for being Zumba instructor
turned high-profile alleged prostitute Alex Wright’s clients that has
send shock waves through a small seaside community in Maine.
On Monday, the judge, Thomas Warren permitted the police to release 21 names, but his decision caused a major pandemonium among the 10,000 residents in Kennebunk. With confusion and anxiety running high, the judge was forced to release more names to the public on Tuesday.
Alexis Wright, who is in the center of the scandal, is facing 106 charges and she is accused of running a secret brothel inside her studio equipped with video cameras.
One of the accused is the married former mayor of South Portland James Soule, 58. When confronted with the public humiliation, his lawyer said: ‘He obviously feels terribly about this. The biggest impact of this is on his family and his friends. That’s truly the most dreadful situation.’
The prostitution charges and ensuing publicity, which reached across the country and beyond, came as a shock in the small town, which is well-known for its ocean beaches, old sea captains’ mansions and the neighboring town of Kennebunkport, home to the Bush family’s Walker’s Point summer compound.
Yesterday, police released only the first and last names of 21 of her alleged clients of a total of 150 they claim paid Wright for sex.
Of those names, a retired Colonel and Sheriff’s Deputy had to have embarrassing situations where they were branded as the clients of prostitutes, when they were innocent.
This morning, attorneys for Maine Today Media, the parent company of the Portland Press Herald filed a motion and won to reverse a temporary restraining order blocking the release of the alleged clients’ addresses.
All of the men are charged with a Class E Crime of engaging a prostitute, which comes with a fine of $200 if it is a first offense.
Second time offenders can be sentenced to up to six months in jail.
Police have said that they plan to list the full names and addresses of all the alleged clients once they have received their summonses.
Wright, from nearby Wells, has pleaded not guilty to 106 counts of prostitution, invasion of privacy and other charges. Mark Strong, a 57-year-old insurance agent, also pleaded not guilty to 59 counts of promoting prostitution, invasion of privacy and conspiracy at the Portland courthouse.
Her alleged client list isn’t the only secret; however, Alexis Wright went by a number of names on various pornography websites.
A search of her real name, Alexis Wright, revealed numerous fan sites, including message boards on explicit websites that included her many aliases.
Posters in search of more videos of Wright listed the many names under which she posted her films to they could find more of them. The commenter’s directed their fellow fans to names like Kikicu, Lexi, Lexilove, Zumba Whore, Maine Zumba Queen and Lydia of Kennebunk and Wells.
The MailOnline then searched these pseudonyms and found photographs and videos of the same woman, appearing identical to Alexis Wright, in various states of undress and performing explicit sexual acts.
In several cases, one commenter would inform the other that it was more difficult to find videos since she was arrested for prostitution.
On one website where a woman listed her name as Lexilove, she posted a nude photograph of herself and claimed she was a ‘Dance Instructor who love to have fun (Sex) with both men and women.’
‘I give full nude body rubs at my studio. Appointment only!’ ‘Lexilove’ wrote. She lists Kennebunk as her hometown and indicates that ‘Lexilove’ is bisexual and has sex three times a day.
On pornography sites, however, ‘Kikicu’ was a prolific video star that posted hundreds of films of herself engaging in all kinds of sexual acts.
On one website which promises ‘Free Porn by Adult Amateurs’, Kikicu could be seen performing in more than 270 films.
THE CONTINUED LIST OF ‘CLIENTS’
According to police records ordered by the courts to be released, the following men were clients of alleged the prostitute:
Kenneth A. Fairbanks, 54, of Lisbon Falls, ME
Donald F. Hill, 52, of Old Orchard Beach, ME
Monie B. Hobbs Jr., 43, of North Berwick, ME
David Kline, 51, of Rye Beach, NH
Robert R. Labonte, 61, of Saco, ME
Dale P. Madore, 34, of North Yarmouth, ME
Paul A. Main, 43, of Biddeford, ME
Harry J. McMann, 55, of Portland, ME
Kevin L. Pagliccia, 39, Lyman, ME
Claude S. Palmer Jr., 47, of Oxford, ME
Philip K. Parker, 65, of Kennebunk, ME
Colin P. Powers, 39, of Scarborough, ME
Clinton J. Ray, 42, of Portland, ME
James P. White, 38, of Buxton, ME
Norman P. Crepeau Jr., 46, of Biddeford, ME
Sometimes she would seemingly have one or two co-stars, sometimes performing alone in public places like porches and hotel rooms, and other times performing in her own studio.
Police say that of the 150 suspected clients, many of them were videotaped without their knowledge. It is unclear if those same videos populate her pornography channel.
‘That’s proprietary information that has been sealed by the District Attorney,’ Lt. Anthony J. Bean Burpee said to the MailOnline. ‘It just is what is is.’
One important note is that along with the prostitution charges Wright faces, she has also been slapped with numerous invasion of privacy charges, which may not only relate to her filming of the liaisons, but also her broadcasting of them.
In one sultry solo video, she sets up the camera and enters the frame wearing a revealing teal dress.
She spins around the center column of her Zumba studio, mirrors covering the wall, and proceeds to undress.
Kikicu was also not her only name – she also went by Lexi, Lexilove, Zumba Whore, Maine Zumba Queen and Lydia of Kennebunk and Wells.
Her forays on the web also included numerous provocative images, several of them taken by none other than Mark Strong.
Strong, a 57-year-old insurance agent, also pleaded not guilty to 59 counts of promoting prostitution, invasion of privacy and conspiracy at the Portland courthouse.
His lawyer, Daniel Lilley, said his client loaned money to Wright in the belief that her Zumba studio was a good business venture.
However, the amateur photographer set up a private gallery on his website of photographs of Alexis, which contained nude and scantily clad images of the alleged prostitute.
MailOnline has chosen to show these photographs to establish the nature of their relationship.
One can only surmise that this gallery was used to advertise Wright’s services to prospective clients. He also had galleries that feature other women.
Police said Wright kept meticulous records suggesting the sex acts generated $150,000 over 18 months.
