Zumba sex scandal: Names’ release puts innocent in spotlight

KENNEBUNK, Maine — Paul Main’s quiet evening was shattered by a phone ringing off the hook and a half-dozen TV crews showing up on his porch. Everyone wanted to know: Was he the same Paul Main who’s been accused of visiting a prostitute in Kennebunk?

KENNEBUNK, Maine (AP) — A lawyer isn’t giving up on trying to stop the release of names of men accused of giving business to a fitness instructor charged with running a prostitution operation out of her Zumba studio in Kennebunk, Maine.

A state judge declined to stop the release of names but a lawyer was filing an appeal Friday.

Kennebunk Police Lt. Anthony Burpee said law enforcement officials were awaiting word from the courts.

Alexis Wright has pleaded not guilty to prostitution, invasion of privacy and other charges for allegedly accepting money for sex and secretly videotaping her encounters. Her business partner also has pleaded not guilty.
