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.

Totally agree with you - She should be in jail for that. I am saying that I don't blame the young man at all for going through with it, not that she was right to do it.
Sheesh, I'm not that sick.

But if she was ugly it would be a crime, right?Helen Thomas ugly would warrant a death sentence.

Bye the bye Abathar, your profile says you have three kids.
If any of them are sons that aren't 14 yet you might want to think this thing through ... the process could lead to a little perspective.

Who could blame any 14 year old boy for not saying no to that...Any 14 year old boy who wasn't raised by wolves knows it's wrong to sleep with another man's wife.
If my son slept with a married woman I'd blame him plenty, since that isn't how he was raised.
To: Abathar
Who could blame any 14 year old boy for not saying no to that... Neal Boortz on one of his shows said that she probably ruined the boy forever. Inasmuch as he will never be able to top this babe and will be frustrated for the rest of his life.

Teachers are supposed to be protective of their students -- the in locus parentis. They should be punished more severely than ordinary adult pedophiles, because of the trust they betrayed.
Otherwise, where does it end up -- the President having sex with interns in the Oval Office? Well, O.K. -- that'll never happen; but you get the idea.
To: wagglebee
I understand your sentiment, but let's be honest: a 14-year old boy seduced by an older woman is much less a victim than a 14-year old boy or girl seduced by a man. Its just reality.
To: Rodney King
The Rodney King method for deciding innocence or guilt in these cases shows that clearly she is innocent, and should be released immediately.Clearly she is not innocent, and I think that at the time no one was feeling particularly guilty. She was hot, he was hormonaly. In both cases, decision-making ability was severely impaired.

Who could blame any 14 year old boy for not saying no to that...Or, a 44 year old?

"If the teacher was an attractive man in his early twenties and the 14 year old student was YOUR daughter, would you still feel the same way?"
Apples and oranges. 14 year old boys can't get pregnant. 14 year old girls can.

I don't blame him as much as I do his parents, or lack there of. Certainly a real Mother wouldn't want this going on and neither would a real Father.
Sheesh, I'm not that sick.
I wasn't calling you sick. I was calling the woman sick. I'm sorry if I implied that.

"If the teacher was an attractive man in his early twenties and the 14 year old student was YOUR daughter, would you still feel the same way?" No. I am not a feminist, I believe that there are fundamental differences between the sexes which lead to the conclusion that no matter how right or wrong this case is, it would be worse if the genders were reversed.

Rational discussion or argument about this subject is literally impossible at FR. Or most other places, for that matter.

Yeah, let's just hope she didn't give him AIDS. I mean since she's married and all there's no telling how many boys she raped when she wasn't sleeping with her husband. Child rapists should be in jail no matter how "hot" they are.
