KENNEBUNK, Maine (AP) — The first batch of men charged with being clients of a woman accused of turning her Zumba dance studio into a brothel include a former mayor and men from more than a dozen Maine towns.

After initial confusion caused by the release of names without ages or addresses, a judge on Tuesday granted a request for additional information about the first 21 names out of what's believed to be more than 150 men accused of paying a 29-year-old fitness instructor for sex.

The men range in age from 34 to 65 and also include one man each from Massachusetts and New Hampshire.

Alexis Wright has pleaded not guilty to 106 counts of prostitution and other charges. Her business partner has pleaded not guilty to 59 counts.
