Wright is facing 106 counts of prostitution, violation of privacy, tax evasion and allegedly providing sex for money. Wright’s business partner, Mark Strong Sr., pleaded not guilty to 59 counts of promotion of prostitution and violation of privacy.
Rumors that the quiet and small town of Kennebunk’s Zumba instructor Alexis Wright was living a double life began to spread in September 2011. According to the police affidavit issued , anonymous phone calls from concerned citizens came in alerting authorities that Wright’s Pura Vida Studio, 8 York St., was the site of “suspicious activity.” The callers named the suspect as Alexis Wright.
Wright also rented a small one-room office above a hair studio and flower shop across the street to her Zumba Studio where the alleged sexual acts took place. Wright video taped her sexual encounters with clients, according to the report. Officials armed with a search warrant seized more than 100 hours of video and 14,000 screen shots from computers at Wright’s business, after Wright’s landlord made a complaint.
Officials say that based on Alexis Wright’s ledger she earned approximately $150,000 for her sexual acts. Wright was allegedly receiving public assistance from Maine where she claimed her income to be around $6,000 a year, according to Seacoast Online.
Investigators will next begin speaking with Wright’s clients to gather evidence for the case.

The only real crime here was that she recorded people with-out notifying them. legalizing prostitution & marijuana will ease taxpayers burden and police should be able to focus on real crimes that affect good people.
