Zumba Prostitution Case: Teacher Released Early A Zumba instructor convicted of running a prostitution business, in which she videotaped unsuspecting clients, has been released from jail. Alexis Wright left the York County Jail in Maine on Saturday after serving nearly six months of a 10-month sentence. Wright recorded sex acts with clients so her business partner could watch them from his office 100 miles away. She admitted 20 charges including prostitution, conspiracy, tax evasion and theft by deception. Her jail term, which included welfare and tax-related charges, was cut short because of good behaviour and participation in a work programme. Wright ran a zumba business from this studio in Kennebunk. Wearing a grey suit and clutching a stack of folders, Wright strode out of the jail and into a waiting SUV driven by her husband, Jason Trowbridge. "I have no comment," she said. The scandal erupted a year ago in a small town known for its beaches, New England charm and proximity to former President George HW Bush's seaside estate in Kennebunkport. Wright's prostitution business came as a surprise to her fitness clients but not to police who became suspicious after fielding complaints about groaning, loud music and men coming and going from an office she rented across the street from her studio. Her client list reportedly included a former mayor, a senior lawyer and a prominent real estate agent. Wright's business partner Mark Strong was jailed for 20 days According to police, her business partner Mark Strong watched the sexual encounters unfold in real time on a computer in his insurance business office. In a twist at her sentencing, Wright claimed Strong had tricked her into believing she was a secret operative investigating sexual deviance. Prosecutors, however, said investigators believed the 30-year-old was "a willing participant" in the prostitution business. Detailed records over an 18-month period indicated Wright made $150,000 tax-free, and collected more than $40,000 in welfare benefits. Strong, a 58-year-old married father of two, acknowledged having an affair with Wright and helping her start the fitness studio but said he did not profit from the prostitution. He was convicted of 13 counts related to promotion of prostitution and sentenced to 20 days in jail.
