"Lesbian Defense" for Porn Star Alexia Moore In Prostitution Case?

NEW YORK (CBS) Porn star Alexia Moore might offer a "lesbian defense" when confronted with evidence that she offered to have sex with a man for $5,000, a Manhattan district attorney said in court Wednesday.

The curvy Moore, whose real name is Cassandra Malandri, was "dancing" at New York's "Big Daddy Lou's Hot Lap Dance Club" in 2008 when she, along with fellow stripper Falynn Rodriguez, allegedly offered an undercover NYPD officer a "threesome" for big bucks.

The two were arrested and are on trial.

Quick-thinking Manhattan Assistant District Attorney Daryl Reed noticed that many of the x-rated movies Moore has taken part in were of a Sapphic nature, and wanted to make sure that those in the courtroom realize that she also likes men.

"There have been allusions that she only deals with women, sexually," Reed said.

"We should be allowed to call her so-called fiancé to rebut her," Reed said, according to the Daily News, referring to a man that Moore is said to be currently dating.

Defense lawyer Ikiesha Al-Shabazz says the prosecutor's scheme "doesn't even make sense," and the logic that lesbians don't have sex with men for money is just "faulty."

The trial was to continue Thursday.

This one could get Moore complicated.
