Legal Hassles for one of our own

Fort Mitchell Police continue to investigate a couple that was allegedly running a live internet pornography site out of their apartment.

The "Naughty Wife Next Door" web site continues to operate even after police seized the couple's four computers and multiple web cameras.
Police suspect Jennifer and Michael Lunsford starting running the live subscription porn web site from their apartment at the Fountains At Lakeside Park complex off Buttermilk Pike and Interstates 71/75, shortly after they moved in last Fall.

After a two-month investigation, officers raided the Lunsfords' apartment on Friday, leaving neighbors both surprised and shocked.

Those who shared the same building area with the Lunsfords say they never suspected anything unusual was going on next door at 63 Dunster Court. All they saw was a couple with four children.

But, that changed radically last Friday. Neighbor Terry Hansley says, "Actually, we had come home and we had seen the police cruisers there. And a bunch of people all milling around, talking. And they had gotten started talking and they had mentioned it was some kind of internet porn sting."
Fort Mitchell Police raided the three-story townhouse apartment, because they found that the Lunford's X-rated web site, "The Naughty Wife Next Door" was being run out of the townhouse.

Fort Mitchell Police Sgt. Jim Bussman tells 9News, "The information we received was they were running a computer-type industry out of their apartment, a sexually-oriented one where they were videotaping sexual activity.

Police say Jennifer Lunsford ran a for-pay subscription web site offering sexual pictures, videos and live web camera views over the Internet. "We are looking at violation of Kenton County's sexually-oriented businesses, also we have one in the city of Fort Mitchell as well," Sgt. Bussman said.

Police removed all four children from the apartment, putting them in the custody of relatives. The reason had nothing immediately to do with the web site, according to Sgt. Bussman. "It was dirty in every single room. There were bugs present in the apartment. Part of the ceiling was collapsing, I think from a water leak. It was just nasty."

By Thursday afternoon, it was clear the apartment had been vacated. There was a lot of furniture, clothing and electronics boxes had been left behind.


Terry Hansley, a neighbor, also said it appeared the couple was moving. "To have four children in the house, absolutely, it really was a shock to all of us."
A New Hampshire subscriber to the website tipped police off when he complained he paid $8,000 for access to the site that he never got. He first filed a complaint with the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center.

The Boone County Sheriff's Office is going through the Lunsfords' computer hard drives, to see if there might be evidence of any other crimes. The Lunsfords currently have not been charged.
