Woman Teacher Accused Of Sex With Student Turns Self In

POSTED: Monday, June 28, 2004
UPDATED: 6:20 am EDT June 29, 2004

A 23-year-old female teacher in Tampa, Fla., was arrested Monday for the second time on charges of having sex with a 14-year-old male student.

Debra Lafave, (pictured, left) was accompanied by her new attorney, John Fitzgibbons as she surrendered to Marion County deputies in Ocala.

Lafave, who is married, is a reading teacher at Greco Middle School in Temple Terrace, just northeast of Tampa.

The new charges accuse Lafave of pursuing the 14-year-old student to Ocala, Fla., while he was visiting his 15-year-old cousin.

Detectives said Lafave had sex with the student twice in Ocala - once in the back seat of her car while the cousin drove around town and then again in the car while parked at Brick City Park.

In police statements made by the 15-year-old witness, Lafave allegedly said that she was turned-on by the fact that what she was doing was illegal, WFTS-TV reported.

Lafave has been place on administrative leave.
