Star of library sex show pleads guilty

COURT: Woman fined, given 12 months probation

- CRAIG PEARSON

WINDSOR, Ont. — The daring young woman with the user name Lilsecrett has pleaded guilty to an act that was anything but a little secret — a live Internet sex show at the Windsor Public Library that made headlines across the continent.

After pleading guilty Monday to committing an indecent act, Alexandria ‘Alexa’ Morra, 22, was sentenced to 12 months probation during which 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, 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 because 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.

Ducharme was prepared to argue that her act was not indecent.

“A lot of people would think this is a slamdunk 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?”

“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 was asked to leave immediatel­y, which she did without incident.

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.

Ontario Court Justice Greg Campbell had harsh words for Morra in the courtroom.

Campbell called Morra’s act vile and noted that children could have seen her. He said Morra should have more respect for herself and the community.

She did not address the court when given the opportunit­y.
