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.
