HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY -- Stephanie Ragusa, a teacher accused of having sex with two of her students, has been arrested again.
The 28-year-old was arrested and booked into Orient Road Jail Monday afternoon on similar charges.
Ragusa was first arrested on March 13th, for having sex with a 14-year-old boy.
She was arrested again, in April, for having sex with another student.
Ragusa was a teacher at Davidson Middle School, in Tampa.
Ragusa was charged last month after an investigation revealed that she had sex with a 15-year-old student while she was a teacher at Davidsen Middle School between October 2006 and May 2007.
Investigators say she had sex with the student five times.
Deputies say the incidents began when the student was 14-years-old and continued until after his 15th birthday.
Officials say the victim was never a student of Ragusa and had met her while on the school campus.
She was arrested again earlier this month and charged with having sex with a second student.
According to school records, Ragusa has also worked at Madison Middle School in Tampa and is currently a teacher at Martinez Middle School in Lutz
Sounds like this woman is a pedophile?
Not guilty!
I’m sure many will say “Not Guilty!”, but this woman is clearly a law breaker no matter what someone’s feelings are about what she did.
Counseling only is needed for this innocent.
Had my teacher looked like when I was 15 I would have repeated the grade.
I had a couple, but all we could do was dream!
Can't these 'women' get a real boyfriend?!
As a certified old fart, I fail to understand why girls like this need a guy who’s 14.
Surely the supply of age appropriate guys can’t be that depleted?
NOT GUILTY!
NOT GUILTY!
One of the times they had sex, he told them, was when he should have been in an after-school class. The other two times took place at night, Carter said.
The Big Ragu? (Laverne and Shirley)
Good thing it’s not Texas. They would remove all the kids from the school send them to different schools across the state until they find out who all the pedophile teachers are.
Two suggestions:
* Make the minimum age for public school teachers be 35.
* Graduate students at age 14 (cuz they can teach all they’re teaching now in just 8 years).
Public records show Ragusa purchased a home last year at 15324 Lake Bella Vista Drive with Tony William Irvin.
Neither Irvin nor Ragusa’s family could be reached Thursday night for comment. Court documents list both Ragusa and Irvin as single at the time of the purchase.
Florida Department of Law Enforcement records show she was arrested in 2005 on a DUI charge, though Hillsborough County’s online court records indicated the charge was dismissed at trial.
State records also show a 2004 arrest in Pasco County on aggravated battery, but again, that charge appears to have been dropped, according to FDLE.

This girl is a client of mine and she told everyone that she was hospitalized for breast cancer and needed special treatments to make her payments late. We called her and made offers to help her. We later found out it was because she was in jail. She is disgraceful and gross, not sure why the boys bothered w/ her after seeing her picture.
At first I thought not guilty, but upon further review of the evidence (her photos)...I think she’s guilty.

Although a full body shot may change my mind. So the jury is still out on this one.
Yeah, but the other kids would get to climb all over the Armored Personnel Carrier they'd send.
Oh, wait, I forgot...she probably dressed slutty enough that she's innocent. You know, not like those wacko dresses.
so in total the 'smiling mug shot teacher' was arrested three times? First back in March, then April...so what was she arrested for Monday (today?) Thanks
