Kellie Ann Lundon-Cormican
The well-known Twin Cities defense attorney for Kellie Ann Lundon-Cormican, the Crookston woman charged with having sex with a 14-year-old boy, is asking a judge to throw out some of the more graphic allegations against her before her trial begins next month.
Earl Gray, known as an aggressive defender of celebrity defendants, filed a motion last week in state district court in Crookston seeking to prohibit prosecutors from mentioning allegations in the case that Lundon-Cormican masturbated in front of a computer camera while the teenage boy watched via his own computer, that she sent text messages to another juvenile and that another teen said she solicited him for sex.
Gray cited “Rule 403,” which allows a judge to prohibit evidence if it’s seen as more unfairly prejudicial than relevant or useful to the case.
According to court records, Lundon-Cormican told police in a taped December interview that she had sexual intercourse with the boy, performed oral sex on him and that she thought he was 16. Minnesota state law says a mistake about the victim’s age in such an alleged offense is not a defense.
