Thursday October 11, 2012 8:00 PM

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — A lawyer for two alleged clients of a Maine woman accused of running a prostitution business out of her Zumba dance studio in Kennebunkport has filed a motion to block the release of names of the men suspected as her clients.

Stephen Schwartz told the Portland Press Herald (http://bit.ly/R1nb7O ) he filed the motion in court Thursday afternoon, a day before police were expected to release the first batch of names.

The 29-year-old Wright pleaded not guilty Tuesday to 106 counts of prostitution, violation of privacy, tax evasion and other charges for allegedly providing sex for money at her fitness studio and a nearby office. The man police say was her business partner, 57-year-old Mark Strong Sr., pleaded not guilty to 59 counts of promotion of prostitution and violation of privacy.
