Female Teacher Caught with 14-Year-Old

Post by jegs2 »

From this story:
CNN wrote:Lafave, who teaches reading in the Tampa suburb of Temple Terrace, was arrested there last week on lewd and lascivious battery charges, accused of having sex with the teen earlier this month at her apartment and in a portable classroom at Greco Middle School.

In Marion County, authorities say Lafave had sex with the student in the back of her sport utility vehicle while the cousin drove them around the Ocala area.

poor kid? I would think it'd be consentual... and she's young... kids always lust after any teacher under 40.. I know this, because it's STILL like that with many of the kids I know.. you'd think they'd calm down a bit by 10th grade, no?

Oh, and full article, since jegs only posted part:
TAMPA, Florida (AP) -- A 23-year-old middle-school teacher was charged with having sex with a 14-year-old student in a classroom, at her apartment and, once, in a vehicle while the teen's 15-year-old cousin drove.

Detectives said that the cousins provided matching statements incriminating Debra Beasley Lafave and that the 14-year-old described Lafave's apartment and her tattoos and birthmarks.

Lafave, who teaches reading in the Tampa suburb of Temple Terrace, was arrested there last week on lewd and lascivious battery charges, accused of having sex with the teen earlier this month at her apartment and in a portable classroom at Greco Middle School.

She was out on bond on those charges when she turned herself in Monday in Marion County, about 80 miles north of Tampa, where the cousin lives. There, she is charged with lewd and lascivious battery and exhibition. She was released Monday on $25,000 bail.

Her lawyer, John Fitzgibbons, said he was not ready to respond to the allegations. "There is a presumption of innocence in this country," he said.

The teen told investigators that he and Lafave got to know each other during a class trip last month, and their sexual relationship began June 3.

The boy told detectives that Lafave told him that her months-old marriage was in trouble and that she was attracted to him because having sex with him was not allowed.

Lafave, who has worked with the Hillsborough County school system for two years, has been placed on administrative duty and could be suspended without pay at the next school board meeting, officials said.

In Marion County, authorities say Lafave had sex with the student in the back of her sport utility vehicle while the cousin drove them around the Ocala area.

One has to wonder why on earth a beautiful woman like that would feel a need to have sex with a 14 year old? Not that I have much sympathy for her, but she couldn't have been that intelligent or wise to forsee the consequences of her acts.

That still doesn't make it right. Nor for that matter does it mean the kid wasn't manipulated into it either.

Not suprising. Teachers are one of those proffesions that most men dwell on into old age.

Oh, it's certainly not right... I was just discussing this with a friend....

She would have to know that 14-year-old kids are generally extremely-horny balls of "looking for anything to screw"... She exploited that, took advantage of him. I mean, who can honestly say that if their hot 23-year-old teacher offered to have sex with you when you were 14, you wouldn't do it?

What made her think she could get away with it?

If a 14 year old boy screws a teacher like that, he's telling every man and his dog.

Most, myself included, probably would. As you've pointed out it's a sex drive connected to an immature brain. One of the reasons that adults are supposed to know better.

I'm 25, and I wonder why.. I couldn't.. have a teacher like that.

Come on people, I lost my virginity at 16 with a girl (just) above 18, and it felt great. It would have felt just as great or even better 2 years before. Specially with that girl, teacher or no teacher. Kid's certainly not a victim.

I'm trying to see this as a bad thing, but really, if I'd been that kid I'd be all over that woman. It's if she was a real hag that I'd probably see things differently. I've had some pretty damn fit teachers before though.

14 is well within the range of "adult", atleast biologically. Age of consent in the Netherlands and in Spain is 12. If he wasn't mentally mature enough, thats parenting problems, and the lady was wrong, but I doubt that's the case. The kid was probably after her since he first saw her.

I'd hit that shit. And seeing as I'm 14, regardless of it being "statutatory" It wasn't rape.

If that is true why do we see the following in the article?

Curious, had it been a 14 year old girl with a 23 year old male teacher, would you people's opinion that there's nothing wrong with this?

I'm certainly not of that opinion. She betrayed her students' trust and abused her position to commit statutory rape on a minor. That is not kosher.

Actually yes. It's still statuatory rape.

It does, however, say that he gave a description and told the police about it. This is not something you do when you're happy with a person.

I'd tap that ass, but she's got to be fucked in the head if she needs sex from 14 year-olds.

I think a lot of stems with the part where males that age are considered more "sex-crazed" than girls that age.

Christ, I'd bang that if I had the chance at 14! And I sure as hell wouldn't feel "abused" or "raped" either.

Much different situation. A male isn't penetrated by a female, and also can't become pregnant. Forgetting the "let's have an open mind" fantasy world, in the REAL world, yes, there's a VERY big difference.
