TAMPA - Teacher-turned-sex-offender Debra Lafave gets to spend her final three months of house arrest on probation instead.

A judge ordered Tuesday that the 27-year-old former middle school teacher will be released from house arrest on July 11. She'll serve straight probation instead, which is less restrictive and doesn't require her to wear a monitoring bracelet.

She was sentenced in November 2005 to three years' house arrest and seven years of probation for having sex with a 14-year-old student.

Prosecutor Mike Sinacore objects to Tuesday's decision. He says the victim's family objects, too.

I cannot say for certain, but I believe she is diagnosed bi-polar.

That likely explains why her reasoning and emotions are not in synch with what you and I may expect.

I’m not saying that means she should get a free ride, but it is what it is.

Well, it very well could be she has kept quiet. It may be a condition of her probation and all. She just doesn’t seem to mind her picture being taken. Does she even know what she did was wrong? Going on her affect alone, it seems she projects no sense of being responsible for a crime. Like I said, my opinion is based on what I’ve seen in the media.

Isn’t she the one who got arrested a few months ago for a parole violation. (talking to a minor at her work)?

This piece of excrement is wearing a cross and chain. I hope she rots in hell

So does Hillary. It's simply a prop.

“but I believe she is diagnosed bi-polar.”

I see a stripper pole in her future.

It’s just one photo, probably not even current.

[pissant]

Not guilty. Restitution is in order.

Because the judge said she was too pretty to be in jail

Works for me. She's GORGEOUS.

Yes, this post has a photo or two. This girl has had plenty of photos in the news before, at the beginning of the case, the trial, etc. I was referring to the sum total presentation.

I think this one is more current, but not positive:

[NYC Republican]

After she finishes a stint at mine. Get in line!

[Night Hides Not]

Still not guilty!

[RipSawyer]

Yeah, wow, personally I would prefer that no one rot in hell.

You sound just like Jesus. /s

Predatory paedophiles should serve an appropriately severe sentence, whether they’re female, ‘hot’ or not. This sexual predator got off far too lightly IMHO...

Her “house arrest” wasn’t preceded by prison time??

This is a joke. The whole damn thing.

If this is the result, then just legalize all sex of anyone with anyone of any age, and spare us the expense of arrest and trial.

She is the ultimate NOT GUILTY.
