Police release 21 names in Maine Zumba sex case
PORTLAND, Maine —
Police on Monday released the first round of names of people they say paid for sex with a Zumba fitness instructor charged with running a prostitution operation out of her studio.
Justice Thomas Warren earlier Monday denied a motion seeking to block disclosure of the names of the people, who are accused of being johns at the studio in Kennebunk, a seaside community.
An attorney for two of the people had filed a complaint asking the names be kept private and criminal charges not be pursued. But the attorney, Stephen Schwartz, said an appeal was unlikely.
Kennebunk police on Monday evening released the names of 21 people who have been issued summonses to appear in court in the case, which had the town buzzing.
