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."

Not exactly a lion,...maybe a wolf
Nice dish...too bad shes a crazy sl*t....she'll be back in trouble in less than a year..kid most likely thinks all women are that easy...of course most are but hey cant say that
Woof......
She's hot! If she needs some, please see moleman.
You'd probably have to dress like a 14 year old boy to turn her on...
Nice, thanks
Putting Lafave in prison,like raw meat...?Not an accurate statement,most likely she would have been put in segregated housing.The bottom line is Lafave should of thought about the potential consequences before(!)she hopped in the sack with her student.The sentence(or lack of)is disappointing.I'd assumed a yr or two of incarceration and then probation.What kind of message is this sending?
I was furious when I was watching the news last night. That little tart was smiling ear to ear during the press conference her lawyer was giving after court.
It was almost like she was saying "Ha Ha I got away with it". If I were that kids parents, I would have bitch slapped her right than and there!
I cannot believe that the victim's parents allowed her to cop a plea just to spare their kid from testifying. She deserves to be tormented by some Big Mama in prison and not confined to her comfy couch in her house watching soaps and gameshow's all damn day.
I just really want to smack that smug grin off her damn face!
I watched her ex last night. He said he didn't know why she did it either. Rather bizarre as he didn't seem to be some freak. Very articulate, well-groomed, and not hesitant in dropping the fact that she has had mental issues in the past. Something smells, and the stench has unfortunately wafted on a 14 year old.
Makes me want to go back to school. The closest I ever got with a teacher was the band director's wife hugging me frequently when no one was looking.
