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.

No, I remember when I was a 14 year old boy though and if a beautiful woman hit on me at that age I would have gone through with the deal like the boy did here. I don't blame the kid for doing it, kind of like locking a pregnant woman in a chocolate shop overnight and telling her she can't have any, it isn't going to happen. If my 14 year old son did do something like this I would be disappointed with him, but I would certainly blame the teacher and not him for having it happen.

Who could blame any 14 year old boy for not saying no to that...Or, a 44 year old?
Or a 34 year old; or a 79 year old, or a 87 year old; or a 53 year old, or a.....er.....you get the drift.
She is HOT!

I'm discussing it rationally on another site.
However, there are rational folks there....
Hmmm,

"A psychiatrist told the judge the boy suffered extreme anxiety because of intense media coverage of the case and does not want to testify."
I don't believe the judge can force the boy to testify. If he does, I would send the resultant psychiatric bills to the judge. He is victimizing the boy much more than his teacher did.

No one. That's why it is a crime for the supposed adult, not the child.

Apples and oranges. 14 year old boys can't get pregnant. 14 year old girls can. So if your 14 year old son impregnated his teacher you would be okay with it?

So the jedge says to plea bargin this case would "undermine" the credibility of the justice system. And this is a system which routinely pleads down murder, manslaughter and mayhem of EVERY type.
I think the judge just wants to be able to LOOK at this babe so she must go to court for trial.

Who could blame any 14 year old boy for not saying no to that...But if she was ugly it would be a crime, right?
You're damn skippy!!
Where were these teachers when I was in school. Mine looked like Helen Thomas.
To: Abathar
She's a predator. That she's pretty makes her even more dangerous. (She's a sleaze.)

She's gorgeous. But this is one I'll never understand. A woman this beautiful surely has no problem finding eligible, attractive male companions of legal age.
Why such a young man? My son is 14. If she had done this to him, my wife would hurt this woman.
I just don't understand.
