Female teachers and sex with students

[WaTcHeR]

Dec. 08, 2005 - Former middle school teacher Debra Lafave will go on trial and may face jail time after a Florida judge rejects a plea deal approved by her victim's family.

Lafave's lawyer had reached a similar plea deal in Hillsborough County last month with a judge, but she also faced charges in Marion County

In a hearing in Marion County court on Thursday, the judge rejected the deal and set April 10 as a trial date.

Lafave appeared in court today to face two counts of lewd and lascivious battery on a child under the age of 16, and one count of lewd and lascivious exhibition by an adult to a person under 18.

She had been expected to plead guilty to those charges.

The former teacher allegedly had sex five times with the 14-year-old student in an Ocala city park in June 2004, and once in a car while the student's underage cousin drove.

Her Hillsborough County sentence includes three years of house arrest and seven years of probation.

I was shocked that the child's parents agreed to a deal.

What is rally amazing is that more and more women today are getting lessor sentences for having sex with12-13-14 year old boys. Yet when a man has sex with a 13 year old girl, he doesn't see sun light for 100 years.

In all honesty I wish my teachers had looked like that teacher in Florida. She is hot! She may have some mental problems, but she's one hot teacher.

Charges Dropped in Fla. Student Sex Case

03/21/2006 - TAMPA, Fla. - Prosecutors in one Florida county decided Tuesday to drop charges against a former Tampa teacher accused of having sex with a 14-year-old middle school student.

The decision, announced hours after a judge rejected a plea deal for Debra Lafave, means the victim won't have to testify.

Lafave's sentence in another county for having sex with the same boy still stands.

Prosecutors and defense attorneys had urged the judge to accept the deal for the sake of the boy involved. A psychiatrist who examined the teenager told the judge at a previous hearing that the boy suffered extreme anxiety from the media coverage of the case and does not want to testify.

Marion County Circuit Judge Hale Stancil, however, said the lack of prison time for Lafave under the plea deal "shocks the conscience of this court," and he rejected it.

Assistant State Attorney Richard Ridgway, in explaining the decision to drop the charges, said: "The court may be willing to risk the well-being of the victims in this case in order to force it to trial. I am not."

Lafave, 25, was already sentenced to three years of house arrest and seven years' probation in Hillsborough County, where she was charged with having sex with the same boy in a classroom and her home. She pleaded guilty Nov. 22 to two counts of lewd and lascivious battery under a plea deal there.

In Marion County, she was accused of having sex with the boy in a sport utility vehicle.

Lafave said at a news conference later Tuesday that she was getting treatment for bipolar disorder.

"I have a lot of things in my past that have unfortunately become public," Lafave said.

"I pray with all my heart that the young man and his family will be able to move on with their lives," she said. "Again, I offer my deepest apologies."

Hillsborough County prosecutor Mike Sinacore has said that the victim's family had anticipated a trial, but that the media attention prompted the boy's mother to push for a plea deal.

"There is no one that wanted to see Debra Lafave serve jail time more than myself," the boy's mother wrote in an e-mail to the Ocala Star-Banner over the weekend. But she said the welfare of her son was more important.

I guess the attorneys figured questioning the kid on the stand, would only get the youngster excited.
