Amy Elizabeth Fisher (born August 21, 1974) is an American woman who became known as "the Long Island Lolita" by the media in 1992, when, at the age of 17, she shot and severely wounded Mary Jo Buttafuoco, the wife of her illicit lover Joey Buttafuoco. Initially charged with first-degree attempted murder, she eventually pleaded guilty to first-degree aggravated assault and served seven years in prison. Paroled in 1999, Fisher became a journalist and writer, before embarking in 2007 on a short-lived career as a pornographic actress.
Fisher was born in Wantagh, New York, to Elliot and Roseann Fisher; her father was Jewish and her mother was Italian-American. As a 16-year-old student at Kennedy High School in Bellmore, New York, Fisher allegedly began a sexual relationship with 35-year-old Joey Buttafuoco after damaging the car her parents had given her for her 16th birthday and appealing to Buttafuoco, owner of the body shop to which she took it, to make the repairs without her family knowing of the damage.
On May 19, 1992, 17-year-old Fisher had an accomplice drive her to the Buttafuoco home in Massapequa, New York. When Mary Jo Buttafuoco answered the door, Fisher told her that Joey was having an affair with Fisher's younger sister, providing a T-shirt advertising Joey's auto body shop for her "proof." When Mary Jo turned away, Fisher shot her in the head on the front porch and left the property.
Fisher was charged with attempted murder, and on September 23, 1992, she pleaded guilty to first-degree assault. She was sentenced on December 2, 1992, to 5 to 15 years in prison. She served seven years and was granted parole in May of 1999 after Supreme Court Judge Ira Wexner vacated (withdrew) her guilty plea and shortened her sentence.
Based on a signed hotel receipt dated days before Fisher's 17th birthday, Joey Buttafuoco, for his part, was charged with statutory rape. Buttafuoco pleaded guilty in a plea deal in October 1993 and served four months in prison.
