Fla. woman charged with posing as teen to molest 5 middle-school-age boys is ‘the real victim,’ dad claims
NY Post ^ | 1/30/2026 | Georgia Worrell

The dad of a Florida woman charged with posing as a teen to molest five middle-school-age boys has bizarrely claimed to The Post his daughter is “mentally defective” and the real victim of the sex crimes.

Before Alyssa Ann Zinger, 25, was arrested for allegedly having sex with underage boys, the accused pedophile grew up in a “good Christian home” in suburban Tampa — but dealt with a myriad of mental disorders, (snip)

“She had a lot of problems growing up. Our daughter has been to 10 to 12 psychologists and psychiatrists throughout her life,” the 55-year-old dad said, adding that Zinger once scored a 72 on an intelligence quotient test — well below the assessment’s 100-point average.

“In all actuality, she is the victim.”

Zinger, then 22, was first arrested in November 2023 for allegedly engaging in at least 30 sexual acts with a boy between the ages of 12 and 15 after creating a fake persona on social media as a homeschooled 14-year-old in order to lure in underage victims, prosecutors said.

Even with piles of cash, home detention by a family is almost always impractical and is not legally possible as to an adult without a court custody order. Mentally impaired adults with substance abuse and sexual conduct issues are a near intractable problem for families, police, and courts.

As to the pending cases, the defendant is likely to get a plea deal that features some form of court diversion into a custodial mental health facility. If so, the goal for the prosecution will be to leverage the criminal charges into long-term control on mental health grounds. The defense will be inclined to accept that so as to avoid the miseries of a long prison sentence.

You’d think she could find a guy her age willing to fulfill her needs. The eyes are a little crazy, but overall, she’s pretty attractive.

Give her jade green eyes and she’d look like my late wife when she was that age. She was a HS teacher and had to be careful. I spent a lot of time at the school helping out at dance etc., just to be seen and known. She never had those inclinations, but I know there were guys who would have taken her up on it if she had made it known she was interested.

Maybe the camera is harshing her up a bit but I’d put that face at over twenty. Full disclosure though: When I reported to my first day of tenth grade Biology I noticed, while we were all waiting for teach to show, a young lass I rather thought worth the trouble. I sidled up alongside and proceeded to chat. She seemed open, friendly easy, as she chatted back. For a minute or two we had a wonderful time going back and forth getting to know one another… until suddenly she clapped her hands together and said “Ok everyone take your seats!” Then she turned to frozen me and said “Please take your seat”. There was no suppressed mirth, no anger, no irony, just an almost sweet request.

So I took my seat.

Of course grown women are going to start pursuing them, everything everywhere tells them that is what a man is supposed to look like with 2% body fat and a six pack.

Now that Rick Rude's long gone I'm left to carry the onus of looking that great.

So I want all of you fat, out-of-shape keyboard warriors to get out of the way so your old ladies can see what a REAL man's SUPPOSED to look like. Hit my music.

Now I doubt anyone would pay $100 for it.

Right there with Humper Biden "art" work.

"She's an adult, so how do you go about doing that?.......Sheesh!"

My sister was an adult, and an alcoholic. That didn't stop the State of New York from institutionalizing her for the rest of her natural life. Sheesh!! State's could do it if they wanted to. They did it for many years until they found it was easier to toss these people into the community, and wash their hands of them. They decided they'd rather spend taxpayer money on BS welfare programs and protecting illegals and criminals in return for votes and retaining political power.

#8: "Have her institutionalized or lobotomized."

Good suggestion. In cases like this sometimes you have to think outside the box. For the
sake of the father's mental health, a lobotomy for his daughter would be the ideal solution.

An adult can't be institutionalized until they proven to be a threat to others or themselves......

I'm sure there is more to your sister's circumstances than you are sharing.

I think there are a lot more women with IQ’s of 72 than you realize. Look at the run of the mill female protester up in Minneapolis. Most of them would argue that men can have babies.They stand around all day in sub-zero temps screaming the word fu#k in every sentence, picking up unexploded flashbangs, obstructing traffic, spitting on cops, damaging property and consider these actions to be effective tactics to win people over. I think this girl is just a dumb slut. A creature of which there is no shortage. Looks like she takes pretty good care of herself and doesn’t appear retarded. A healthy 15 year old boy would have to be gay or retarded himself not to hit that.

Women always are painted as victims even when they are the criminals. The dad is a simp cuck to his daughter. A white knight excuse making enabler.

And too many men in this country are as well.

"I'm sure there is more to your sister's circumstances than you are sharing."

The circumstances were that had my sister not been institutionalized, she never would have reached the age of 74, which was her age at her death. Up until her death, she had lived the longest in our family. She was diagnosed with alcohol-induced dementia. Had she been left on the street, living off social security disability, she would have smoked and drank herself to death, or possibly been a victim of some other lunatic the State deemed fit to release to the streets.

“Allowing mentally ill people to walk around to prey on innocent people is illegal too. They’re aiding and abetting criminal behavior.”

I think that’s what virginia is shooting for....
