Judge: No Deal For Teacher Who Slept With Her Student

OCALA, Fla. -- A Florida judge said a plea deal for a Tampa teacher accused of having sex with a 14-year-old would "erode public confidence in" schools.

Marion County Circuit Judge Hale Stencil has rejected the plea deal for Debra Lafave, 25. The judge said the deal would undermine the credibility of the criminal justice system.

Prosecutors and the defense lawyer had urged the judge to accept the deal for the good of the boy. A psychiatrist told the judge the boy suffered extreme anxiety because of intense media coverage of the case and does not want to testify.

Lafave was charged in two counties where she's accused of having sex with the student.

A judge in Hillsborough County accepted a plea deal there in November and sentenced Lafave to three years of house arrest and seven years' probation. She pleaded guilty in November to two counts of lewd and lascivious battery for having sex with the boy in a classroom and her home.

Exactly, I rather assumed most people would understand that there is no question of who was guilty here, my mistake on that one. (The whole ASS-U-ME thing)

I was just pointing out that to any 14 year old boy that woman was a goddess and if she wanted to seduce one a couple of puffs in the ear and the kid would walk barefoot over broken glass to have a chance to make it with her.

I don't blame the kid at all either, the only thing that has hurt him whatsoever is the news coverage and media hype over it. If it was left up to the parents and the police without so much sensationalism (re: hypocrisy on my part for posting in the first place ;-)) he would have just had fond memories and it would have been done with.

...because you and others in your church told him he should be. I am glad he got over it. Some time and maturity is usually all anyone needs to overcome the pointless recriminations of the holier than thou crowd.

Is that a recrimination? I don't go to that church. I never told him that, and I doubt that anyone, including his parents told him that or engaged in pointless recriminations. People have consciences that condemn or affirm their own actions, sometimes accurately, sometimes inaccurately, and sometimes with an admixture of both.

Cordially,

No one really wants to hear about who their partner was with before marriage.

Exactly my point. And why is that?

Cordially,

He's on TV quite a bit.

He's a pretty boy and a bit of a loser himself, IMHO.

This relationship was undoubtedly skin deep on both sides.

"Actually, it has always seemed to me that the high school girls went after all of the loser guys."

No, just the trashy ones you (and me and every hormonal boy) wanted to sleep with when in high school.

The quality girls were still quality, but we did not care.

The problem is we are trying to accept the moronic idea that men (boys) and women (girls) are equal in all respects - it obviously isn't so!
