The "Zumba prostitution" scandal has rocked the small town of Kennebunk, Maine. In case you haven’t been following it, prosecutors allege that a Zumba instructor named Alexis Wright was using her Zumba dance studio as a front for prostitution. Jury selection in the trial of Wright’s alleged co-conspirator, Mark Strong Sr., began last week. Strong faced 59 misdemeanor counts, including conspiring with Wright, and Wright faced 106 counts, including prostitution and invasion of privacy for acts.
Forty-six of the counts against both Strong and Wright relate to allegations that the two made secret video recordings of her encounters with "customers," without the customers’ knowledge. On Friday, the prosecution’s case received a major hit when the court dismissed all of those 46 counts against Strong.
