OnlyFans star Courtney Clenney’s lawyer doesn’t want ‘explicit’ content released in murder trial
Not guilty! (ed.)
A Florida judge on Tuesday rejected a bid from OnlyFans star Courtney Clenney’s lawyer to restrict the release of “sexually explicit” material to the public as she faces a murder trial for the death of her boyfriend.
Clenney, who boasts 2 million Instagram followers and a once-thriving OnlyFans page, is charged with plunging a knife into the chest of her boyfriend Christian Obumseli inside their luxury Miami apartment in April.
With Clenney looking on glumly in orange scrubs and a surgical mask, her attorney, Frank Prieto, warned that prosecutors could potentially release “salacious” material found on her seized cell phone that would poison a potential jury pool and compromise the court proceeding.
“There’s a hunger for this case in the media and what we’re trying to do is make sure this case is tried in a court of law,” he argued Tuesday morning.
Prieto said Clenney recorded explicit videos — which he termed “pornography” — for her thriving OnlyFans site on her device.
“This is going to turn into a circus of media outlets publishing salacious material that has absolutely nothing to do with guilt or innocence in this case,” Prieto argued.

her trial.
Clenney is accused of killing her boyfriend Christian Obumseli in their Miami apartment.
He noted that the state attorney already released a video of Clenney and Obumseli fighting inside an elevator at their building to bolster their second-degree murder case against her.
Prieto said the “drip” of similar releases down the road would “erode” Clenney’s shot at a “fair and impartial” trial.
He asked for a protective order that would limit materials that are produced in discovery that are made available to the media and public.
The judge ultimately denied the motion in the interest of transparency.

Judge Diana Vizcaino ultimately denied the motion in the interest of transparency.
Prosecutors assert that Clenney was the aggressor in the fatal confrontation with Obumseli and that she brutally stabbed the unarmed cryptocurrency trader.
She told investigators that she threw a kitchen knife at him from several feet away after the threw her to the floor — a claim prosecutors say doesn’t match forensic evidence.
Prieto has forcefully argued that Obumseli was routinely abusive towards Clenney during their volatile relationship and that she killed him in self-defense.
Her trial is slated to begin on Dec. 19.

Adults making porn is legal. Don't see why they should introduce the stuff unless it has a strong, direct bearing on the case. If they want they can send the stuff to me for safe keeping.
Was some of it already posted in a public domain? Was anything left unseen? Sounds like it should be admitted.
