TAMPA, Fla. — A Florida teacher charged with having sex with a minor pleaded guilty on Tuesday to two counts of lewd and lascivious behavior as part of a plea deal.

The deal provides that Greco Middle School teacher Debra Lafave, 25, will not serve time in jail in connection with multiple sex acts with a 14-year-old student unless she violates the terms of the plea agreement, which include seven years of probation.

"I accept full responsibility for my actions," Lafave said during Tuesday's trial in Tampa.

"To place an attractive young woman in that kind of hell hole is like putting a piece of raw meat in with the lions," Lafave's attorney, John Fitzgibbons, said in July of the possibility of jail time. "I'm not sure she would survive."

Ah, to be fifteen again. just kidding to all you moms.

Did her judge call her a poor victim too?

He said Lafave told him her marriage was in trouble and that she was aroused by the fact that having sex with him was not allowed. Fitzgibbons last week had said Lafave would plead insanity at trial, claiming she was under such emotional stress that she didn't know right from wrong.

OK. Which one is it going to be?

[Tax-chick]

What, are they suggesting she might be the victim of predatory females? Unimaginable!

unless she violates the terms of the plea agreement, which include seven years of probation

I don't believe for one minute that she'll be able to stay away from boys for seven years.

[ncountylee]

She's the victim? That's BS.

[Tulsa Ramjet]

especially if she has her own kid, and grows her own boyfriend.

[Tax-chick]

Yes it is. In my opinion, she belongs in jail.

[Tax-chick]

Ick.

[najida]

If the forbidden is all that gets her off....I say she can't stay away from boys for more than 7 weeks.

No child is safe.

[Tax-chick]

Excellent point. Yuck.

[Tulsa Ramjet]

Ick.

I'm sure real soon that someone famous will start dating their step kid and it will soon be in vogue. Wait,...its already been done. Woody Allen!

Look who's getting paid by the word.

Put her in jail for a taste of her own damn medicine.

What a crock, only 7 years of probation. Imagine if it were a 25 year old man caught have sex with a 14 year old student what the outcome would be for him. I wonder how many guys would fall in love with this gal in a second....well after 15 minutes in the hay?

[xsmommy]

she's a victim... she's too sexy for her spouse.

There was an article and thread a while ago about how good looks makes your life much easier. There was discussion about how true that is. Here's a prime example. So I guess for this judge, if some guy is GQ material, then his raping a 14-year-old girl is acceptable.

They don't. Trust me on this.
