Zumba Prostitution Case: Reply to Gansett (posted on Escort Board)
(Didn't want to post on Escort Board, so moved it over to this Board)
Case is going to be tough to prove without testimony of some of the John against her. Violation of privacy for recording w / o permission needs testimony of those recorded w / o permission. Why do you think they are charging 150 guys? Because the Prosecutor is outraged? They want to make sure they can flip enough johns to testify against Lexi.
Prostitution needs connection of sex act with $$. Just her detailed notes without corroborating evidence is not a done deal. The videos are just plain stupid on her part, but even those alone without other elements is very difficult to prove for Prosecutor. It proves the sexual act. Of course, if video includes audio or video of discussion of money or shows any exchange of currency, Lexi and particular John are cooked. But no one is that dumb.
The LE has to flip one of the three, Lexi Wright, Strong or a few of the John's to convict Lexis, the Johns, & Mr Strong.
"Beyond a reasonable doubt" is very difficult standard, and you only need one of the Jurors to say not guilty to have hung jury.
Of course, with all this publicity, they will not get fair & impartial trial in Biddeford / Wells area.
Yes, the Prosecutor will definitely try to have them plead out to the charges, because going to trial is a risk that the Prosecutor doesn't want to take without a sure bet, and this is no sure bet. The media would love a trial because of all the salacious details they could print due to the "publics need to know".
IMHO.
[QUOTE=Gansett; 1571674]Sux to be them. Channel 12 in Providence reported that because the "authorities" didn't post their age or address there's several guys screaming they'll be falsely accused due to having the same name. A couple had motions denied by the court.
She's facing over 100 charges, her business partner 59 and if you think they, or any other provider, won't cut a deal you're only fooling yourself.
