She and Zappa recorded a "sex party" tape at the request of a man, Jim Willis, who later turned out to be an undercover police officer. He arrested them on 26 March 1965 for the crime of obscenity. Belcher was 19 years old at the time. In the article "[[Vice Squad Raids Local Film Studio]]" (Ontario Daily Report, 1965, Ted Harp), they called her the "buxom red-haired companion" of FZ..."  Once Zappa was bailed out of prison, he contacted [[Art Laboe]] to give him 1.500 dollar so he could bail out Lorraine as well, and buy an attorney.<ref>http://donlope.net/fz/1965.html</ref>
