Every Guy In Town Did Zumba

There has probably never been greater participation by men doing Zumba then in the town of Kennebunk, Maine. Yes, the summer home of President George Bush. A few years ago, Alexis Wright came to town and opened a fitness studio where she taught Zumba. Police also says she was selling sex and charged her with 109 counts of prostitution. Here is where things get sticky. Alexis filmed everyone of her sessions with the residents of the town who used her services. She also kept very good records. The town is on pins and needles to find out who is on the list. Apparently it is going to be a very good list filled with everyone in the town who would probably normally speak out against prostitution. Doctors, lawyers, police, city council people, and many others are on the list of 150 customers. It took police five months to crack the case. Uh huh. Probably because they needed to go back for repeat visits just to make sure.

    KennebunkPORT was GHW Bush's vacation home place---are those towns connected?

    And OF COURSE all the 'best' people in town patronize the PROSTITUTION WHORE. Why, I've seen nuns shoplift booze.

    I thought GWB lived in KennebunkPORT, Maine, not Kennebunk, Maine?

    From Google Maps, they seem to be different towns a few miles apart.

    Am I the only one that thinks that Prostitution should be legalized? If a married man is going to cheat it will be with a prostitute or someone else. Just seems like a stupid law, plus legalizing it will make it safer for everyone involved. You can set laws for necessary std testing and wouldn't have to worry about it necessarily happening in shady places.

    Different towns divided by the river, but mostly it's the same...K'port kids go to Middle & High School in K'bunk. I shudder to think who I'm going to recognize on that list.

    Legalization would also make it more difficult for men to extort the sex workers with threats of turning them in.

    Maybe it's the Libertarian in me, but I think prosecuting prostitution is stupid. WHO CARES if men paid her for sex? Unless she was blackmailing them (and keeping videos and records points to her trying that one day), I don't care.

    ITA, Christina. Prostitutes only exist because there's a market for them. Just like drugs.
    There's a lot of things we'd legalize & regulate, if we actually cared about all the people hurt in these underground criminal industries, instead of 'warehousing' addicts as a policy.

    Addicts without money, I should say. If you have money in this country, you can get all the prescription drugs you wish, and/or afford a great lawyer if caught.

    Legalizing prostitution would also mean that they're paying taxes and contributing to society. Whenever this topic comes up I think of the movie Night Shift, and how The Fonz got them all health insurance and 401(k)s.

    The more serious charges against her are for tax evasion and theft by deception, as she has been receiving state financial assistance for years stating that her only income was as a Zumba instructor. I think they could care less about the sex-for-pay issue.

    I completely agree that prostitution should be made legal. But it's that whole taboo thing. Selling your body for money is very taboo. Same reason why marrying your sibling is illegal, right? Incest is a very taboo topic and it gives people the icks, just like selling your body for sex.

    Smart woman, keeping records like that. This is the type of delicious scandal I like.

    I agree with many of you saying prostitution should be legalized. It should be like any other job with benefits like health insurance, 401K's, pensions, as well as having wages taxed (regrettably). I'm sure people would still do business under the table, but for the most part, it would keep a lot of working gals safe from unscrupulous pimps and violent Johns. It's not going away, so might as well make it legit.

    Alicia: Perhaps they will--while putting away the "working girls" doesn't seem to put the brakes on prostitution, going after the johns sure as hell does! Sauce for the gander and all that, you know...

    This woman seems to have been running her own show, but I'm thinking in particular of all the young girls & women who are trapped in the business by their pimps; anyone who buys any of those poor girls NEEDS to be outed as the callous users they are. Want to stop sex trafficking? Don't go after the women; go to the source of the trade and bust the males (they're certainly not men) who exploit them, both pimps and johns. I bet we'd see a lot fewer of both, especially the latter, if they knew their ass would end up in a sling as well...

    I want to agree with legalization and I would love to see the positive changes it could bring to the lives of workers, but there is a major problem with it. So far, in every system where it was legalized it has resulted in major increases in human trafficking. When it loses the social taboo through legalization, demand increases, and there are not enough willing workers to meet the demand. So, to fill it, more women are trafficked as sex slaves. Truly horrible. Look at Amsterdam - trafficking capital of Europe.

    I'm also against legalizing prostitution (and not because I'm part of the self-proclaimed "Moral Majority" - I am not). I'm a liberal Democrat, and I know that many people want to see prostitution legalized, but I think it's bad policy.

    I've read one study that said that 98% of prostitutes are homeless. Those women are not CHOOSING to sell their bodies for money, they're forced into prostitution to feed themselves or their children. The men who visit prostitutes who are forced to sell their bodies for money and take advantage of that situation, in my opinion, are the lowest of the low life forms, truly up there with molesters and murderers. These are woman who put their lives on the line, who are abused by society, who are looked down upon, who risk incredible violence, and on and on - for society to paint prostitution as a "choice" that some women just opt into is total BS.

    In my opinion, the way to eradicate the "profession," as so many people call it, is to levy severely harsh penalties on the johns, while providing social services to the prostitutes who are arrested.

    And one more thing before I step down - I don't know how it got this moniker for the "oldest profession," but that's just not true. I think it's away that society tries to set it up as something that's inevitable or that we just cannot stop - also BS. Women should not have to sell their bodies to men to survive, period.

    Unknown- I'm against legalizing prostitution because I just can't see how it's a positive for women to be known bought or sold for their body parts. Smiling,nodding and saying "it's okay honey, what you are doing is legal" doesn't make it right.

    In Sweden, selling sex is legal, but paying for sex is not. That way, it's the johns who are prosecuted rather than women who may have turned to prostitution because of drug addiction and saw no other option. I have to agree with that policy.

  55. Meg12:54 PM

    @ Libby -- since you bring up history, the locals still refer to the K'port residence as "Walker's Point" (or less formally, the Herbie Walker Estate), as it was originally bought & built by George Sr.'s grandparents. Non-locals (or "people from away who moved here") refer to it as "The Bush Compound."

    In any case, there are lots of people who are only aware of K'bunk/K'port because of the Bush connection, so when I read the blog post this morning it didn't phase me in the slightest, and I never got the impression that the writer was implying that either former president was on the client list. Nothing in the local news suggests it so far as I've seen. I took it as an offhand reference. If anyone else here wants to read more into it as a political jab, I can't stop them, but I think it's political oversensitivity speaking.

    Armpit thing is still funny to me and I'm on the legalize side. Beauty of the world IMO: Diverse points of view that if one remains open enough, one can learn from the other point. And I direct that towards myself.

    And for the record there ARE women who do want to be part of the sex industry, as they so sweetly refer to it here in SF.

    Anyway, legalizing the two would bring in taxes and help national debt...and you know there will always be plenty of stoners and old dudes who get a case of the restless porker in America.

    There's nothing wrong with Enty mentioning the Bush family connection to the two towns.

    1: It refreshes people's minds as to where they've heard the towns' names before.

    2: If a US president has a home there, other powerful people may live there and be on this list. That's speculation, but if they're already bracing for a shock, it has to be considered.

    3: It's not the fact the Bush family are Republican, it's the fact they were presidents. If this same thing happened in a small town where Carter, Clinton or Obama had summer homes, it would be just as valid to mention them.

    It's legal in Australia, and we have always had quite progressive laws in regards to this. It's illegal for men to profit from the earnings of a prostitute, so if a guy tries to pimp, a woman out, he is arrested.

    A woman can conduct a 'business' from home, declare her earnings, pay tax and have legal protection, and the freedom from prosecution, should she require police or ambulance assistance. This lowers the incidents of violence often associated with the profession, keeping the women safer.

    Prostitution should not be legalized. Legalization means that the state imposes regulations under which women can be prostituted. In effect, regulation means that under certain conditions it is permissible to exploit and abuse women.
