Suspect charged in library sex show

- TREVOR WILHELM

The young woman who made headlines across the continent for allegedly performing a series of live sex shows in Windsor libraries has turned herself into police.

Alexandria Morra’s lawyer confirmed she turned herself in around 7 a.m. on Friday. He said the 21-yearold woman, who goes by Alexa, is shocked by the extreme public attention focused on her since news broke of her alleged sex videos.

“It’s been very stressful, of course,” said defence lawyer Tyler Jones. “There has been an unanticipa­ted amount of attention brought to this.. But she’s doing well under the circumstan­ces.”

Windsor police charged her with one count of committing an indecent act and released her on a promise to appear in court. Jones went to police headquarte­rs after police contacted her.

Jones said his client won’t be speaking to the media.

“My hope is that certain factions of the media would stop in their continued presence at her mother’s home where, she does not reside,” Jones said.

Morra allegedly live streamed dozens of shows from study desks at the Riverside and Fontainebl­eau branches as unsuspecti­ng people, including children, went about their business nearby.

Library officials became aware of the matter in January after receiving complaints. CEO Kitty Pope said this week that library staff approached the woman. When she refused to identify herself, they asked her to leave. The library was initially only aware of that single incident.

This week, Pope said, she learned a woman had performed dozens of shows in the library over a threemonth period starting in November.

The young woman flashed her breasts, exposed her genitals, masturbate­d and used sex toys.

There is also video circulatin­g online of her doing similar things at what appears to be a Tim Hortons.

The woman streamed her sex shows through a site called MyFreeCams. The site allows fans to watch and ask performers to do various sex acts.

The requests often include different locations, like libraries.

To see what they want, customers pay using online tokens.
