Woman gets probation, $250 fine for streaming live sex show from Windsor public library
WINDSOR, Ont. — A daring young woman who performed a live Internet sex show at the Windsor Public Library that made headlines across the continent has pleaded guilty to committing an indecent act.
Alexandria (Alexa) Morra, 22, who went by the user name Lilsecrett, was sentenced to 12 months probation during which time she may not enter a public library in Windsor or Essex County. She was also fined $250 and must submit her DNA to a national registry.
The Tecumseh, Ont., woman, who was dressed in a conservative black top and pants and whose hair appeared lighter than when she made her notorious videos, declined to comment outside court, where she climbed into a waiting car and left.
Her lawyer, Patrick Ducharme, said she showed remorse by pleading guilty at the pre-trial stage.
“She dealt with it, she admitted it, she identified herself to police,” Ducharme said, noting she turned herself in March 6. “She suffered a lot of public embarrassment because it truly did go viral.”
Ducharme said she filmed her performances to make money, as she was unemployed. She earned a total of $1,500 for her shows.
She was live streaming on MyFreeCams, a site that allows fans to interact with performers.
“She performed in front of one adult who knew exactly what her performance was going to be because he was directing it. He wanted her to do it in a public library,” Ducharme said. “And no one else apparently saw her.”
Ducharme was prepared to argue that her act was not indecent.
“A lot of people would think this is a slam-dunk case because there is videotape of exactly what she did in the library,” Ducharme said. “But the legal issue is, how does our country define indecency?”
Ducharme said years ago he defended about 160 erotic dancers who were charged with indecent acts for performances in various clubs, including in Windsor, and that eventually all were declared not guilty.
Still, he said Morra decided to plead guilty because she wanted to put the issue behind her.
“She acknowledges what she did was inappropriate,” Ducharme said.
He said Morra is looking for work and plans never to make pornography again.
According to the facts read in court, library officials became aware of a sex show Dec. 29 when a man called the Riverside branch of the Windsor Public Library to report it. A library worker looked around and found what seemed to be Morra in mid-show.
She had one leg in the air and the other spread in front of a laptop with a cellphone pointed at her crotch, according to the facts.
She was asked to leave immediately, which she did without incident, saying only, “Oh, yeah.”
Police later reviewed a three-hour sexually charged video featuring Morra.
“During the video Morra exposes her genital area and is seen to be masturbating,” according to the facts, which noted that she borrowed a pen from an unsuspecting man behind her. “Morra continues to use the borrowed pen as part of her sexual performance, placing it between her exposed breasts, and at one point inserting the pen into her vagina while masturbating in a sexual manner.”
Ontario Court Justice Greg Campbell had harsh words for Morra in the courtroom.
