Newly unsealed court records offer glimpse inside prostitution investigation

also by

KENNEBUNK — Following months of rumors, tips and investigation, records show Kennebunk Police in February requested a search warrant of the business spaces, home and personal vehicle of Alexis Wright, expecting they would find evidence of prostitution.

What they discovered, though, investigators said in court records, was an extensive business operation that included videotaping clients without their knowledge, a tucked away office space stocked with body oils, condoms and camcorders, a "domination fetish list" and a little black book of client names.

More alleged 'john' names to be released Friday

Kennebunk Police are expected Friday to release the next "batch" of names of men alleged to be clients of Alexis Wright.

So far 39 men have been charged with the misdemeanor crime of engaging a prostitute. All are due in court in either December or January.

Further, records show, investigators discovered a link to Wright's alleged partner-in-crime: Mark W. Strong Sr., a 57-year-old insurance company owner and private investigator from Thomaston.

Today both Wright, 29, of Wells, and Strong face more than 160 charges, including prostitution, promoting prostitution and invasion of privacy.
