In 1992, A Teenage Girl Showed Up At Her Lover’s Home, Tried To Expose His Affair, And Shot His Wife, Earning Her Seven Years In Prison And The Title Of “Long Island Lolita”
In 1992, a 17-year-old girl named Amy Fisher showed up at her lover’s house with ill intentions. After confronting her lover’s wife about the affair they were having, Amy shot her. She spent seven years in prison for her crime and became known as the “Long Island Lolita.”
Amy Fisher met Joey Buttafuoco in 1990 after taking her car to his auto shop for repairs. She had just turned 16. He was 20 years older than her and was married.
When they met, Amy had already experienced a lot of trauma and claimed that she was abused growing up. She also often cut class and forged her report cards.
By the summer of 1991, Amy and Joey were having an affair. About a year later, she visited the Buttafuoco house in Massapequa, New York, bringing along a t-shirt from Joey’s auto shop and a .25-caliber semiautomatic pistol.
On May 19, 1992, she rang the doorbell of the Buttafuoco home. Joey’s wife, Mary Jo, answered the door.
Amy introduced herself as Anne Marie and told her that Joey was being unfaithful. She made up a story about how he was having an affair with her little sister and showed Mary Jo the t-shirt as proof.
However, Mary Jo didn’t believe her. She dismissed Amy and turned to go back inside. That was when Amy attacked. She struck Mary Jo in the head with the pistol and then shot her in the right temple.
Afterward, Amy fled the scene of the crime. Mary Jo was rushed to the hospital, and the doctors saved her life. One side of her face was left partially paralyzed, and she was deaf in one ear, but she was still able to provide an accurate description of her assailant.
Joey recognized the t-shirt that Amy had brought to the house and admitted that he had given it to Amy’s father, so she was most likely the shooter.

Amy was arrested. She told the police that she had been sleeping with Joey and that he had instructed her to kill his wife. Joey insisted that he had never slept with her. He denied it multiple times. During the trial, Amy was portrayed as a call girl and was referred to as a “Long Island Lolita.”
Ultimately, Amy was sentenced to 15 years in prison. A year later, in 1993, Joey admitted to having an affair with Amy. He pleaded guilty to sleeping with a minor under the age of consent in New York. But, he maintained his declaration that he never encouraged Amy to murder Mary Jo.
Later, Amy took full responsibility for her actions. In 1999, she was released from prison after seven years. At first, she led a relatively normal life. She married in 2003, wrote a memoir, and had three kids in 2004.
But in 2007, an adult film she made with her husband came out, which kickstarted her career in the adult film industry. She left the industry eventually but started hosting private shows at her home in Long Island in 2017.
Mary Jo and Joey divorced in 2003. Even though they have all gone on their separate ways, Amy, Joey, and Mary Jo will forever be linked. They have even appeared on television together before.
