NOVEMBER 22--In a sweetheart plea deal, a former Florida middle school teacher who had sex with a 14-year-old male student escaped a jail term today. Debra Lafave, 24, pleaded guilty to two counts of lewd and lascivious behavior and was sentenced to three years of community control, or house arrest, and ordered to register as a sex offender. Lafave's plea came on the eve of trial and was approved by the teen victim and his family (in a court affidavit filed today, the boy's mother wrote that a trial would "negatively affect my son's emotional and psychological well-being"). Lafave, who will serve seven years probation following her house arrest term, was facing a maximum of 30 years in prison. A probable cause affidavit prepared by the Marion County Sheriff's Office details the predatory behavior (in her classroom, an Isuzu SUV, and her Tampa-area home) of Lafave, who is pictured below in police booking photos. A supplemental report from the Temple Terrace Police Department (which you can find here) included the boy's graphic account of his trysts last year with Lafave. "With about a week left in school she became affectionate," he told cops. (15 pages)
Damn ma'am.....no one ever calls me honey anymore unless it's followed by "do" or "I'm going shopping, here's the kids"
Happy Thanksgiving!
(my wife and I have argued big on this one and the like cases btw....and usually we are on the same path ideologically)
True, but under the law, we are all equal.
If the woman teacher physically assaulted your son, you would be singing a different tune.
Gee, you must be a good looker to think that the blonde is a dog.
Jennifer O'Neill, however (who is hotter) received no punishment, which was also the right thing to happen, in The Summer of '42.
Surrender, wardaddy! Wife always wins! (I shouldn't NEED to tell you that though, should I?) LOL!
I don't consider myself a good looker, but I don't consider her one either. Maybe I'm selling myself short? Stay tuned to my profile page this long thanksgiving weekend. I don't know if you'll laugh or cry, but I'm gonna have fun with it!
Next to a lot of FReeperettes....she's a mutt!
My fourteen year old daughter can pop my own grandchild out within 9 months of an "encounter."
My fourteen year old son can potentially impregnate 30 girls in 30 days, and also catch the clap, if he's not careful. He better be careful.
Sorry, but boys and girls ain't "equal" (whatever that word means).

DA, that's not the end of the story either.
We also have thousands of years of the female guarding her
eggs for the one special male; and thousands of years of the
male trying to gain the the attention of every female possible.
I still believe in equal work for equal pay but this boy won't
be on a couch 30 years from now complaining to his analyst
of the abuse he received from this schoolteacher crush.
He will find ways to work his story into the conversation on
nights out with the guys. His friends will insist!
Speaking as I guy, I tend to agree that she isn't anything special. I don't think she is ugly but definitely nothing special.
Of course if I was 14 again and she was my teacher, I'd probably think she was hot. Teenage boys don't tend to think with their brains.
I love your insight. Nice to see that someone sees it for what it is. I don't believe the experience is harmful to young boys, but is devestating to young girls. I've never heard of a woman's actions escalating to rape and murder as so often happens with the men in these situations. The only negative thing that happens to the boys is the crazy publicity, and then, I wonder if that isn't enjoyed as well.
A sensible guy! Thank you very much! That's what I was trying to get across. She's not butt ugly, but nothing special either. And as far as I'm concerned sexy is deeper than looks.
I just don't get why a guy would go for a cheap harlot rather than someone who really deserves you. I just couldn't give myself to a guy just because he's "hot". He has to be a lot more to me than that! As a female, I just don't get it and probably never will.
I couldn't agree more!
Your comment was the first sensible one on the thread. 33 down and very little common sense before it.
Absurd to even contemplate a sentence like that.
No...he's a VICTIM! Put her away for life!!! Puh-leeze! Welcome to the New Puritan Era.
Have you ever seen the FOX show showing celeb chicks without makeup? To a woman they looked like dogs without it. This girl looks pretty good to me, especially here..
Looks a bit like Claire Danes here.
Finally somneone who gets it. It's all about Dyke prosecutors gone crazy. Janet Reno started it all in Dade County years ago.
Men and women are NOT the same. Don't fall for the lesbo-feminist doctrine. This kid loved every minute of it, and will treasure this experience his entire life.
Got it made...
Got it made...
Got it made...
I'm hot for teacher!
Uh, it's..
got it bad, got it bad, got it bad, I'm hot for teacher.
