Debra Lafave will do no jail time! What the heck is wrong with the Tampa area criminal justice system?!!!

First a killer in that area is allowed to get away with no jail time and now a child molester too!

No Jail Time for Florida Teacher in Sex Case

A Florida teacher charged with having sex with a minor pleaded guilty on Tuesday to two counts of lewd and lascivious behavior as part of a plea deal that does not include any jail time.

The deal provides that Greco Middle School teacher Debra Lafave, 25, will not serve one day in jail in connection with multiple sex acts with a 14-year-old student unless she violates the terms of the plea agreement, which includes three years of house arrest and seven years’ probation.

Lafave had faced four felony counts of lewd and lascivious battery and one count of lewd and lascivious exhibition, each of which carry a maximum 15-year prison term.

The boy had told investigators he and the teacher had sex in a classroom, her house and once in a vehicle while his 15-year-old cousin drove. He said Lafave told him her marriage was in trouble and that she was aroused by the fact that having sex with him was not allowed.

So she did it because she knew it was wrong and now she gets off with a slap on the wrist! MADNESS!!!!

Lafave’s lawyer said!

“To place an attractive young woman in that kind of hell hole is like putting a piece of raw meat in with the lions,” Lafave’s attorney, John Fitzgibbons, said in July of the possibility of jail time. “I’m not sure she would survive.”

What the heck is this? Now we go easy on criminals if they have good looks?!!! Talk about a violation of equal protection! This is just insane!

:mad: :mad: :mad:

update (11/22/2005 3:01PM ET): I have found that the 2 videos linked on this page offer the most in-depth details about the ruling and how it came to be. I am fairly certain that any other reports about this will simply be summaries of what you can find in those 2 videos. Basically the victim’s family did not want to continue and so that would have made it harder for the prosecution to pursue their case. I SAY SO WHAT! This woman monster is a threat to the community! The prosecution should have pursued the case without the victim! And although a sentence of life imprisonment was not going to happen, that would have been the best outcome! She should spend the rest of her life in prison and nobody violating children should ever feel that they might get off easy!

  1. Balanced News Blog » Blog Archive » Debra Lafave, Teacher, Pleads Guilty Says:

    [...] A Certain Slant of Light puts it in perspective, asking if it’s all about her good looks. Mistresninos is also perplexed by this sentence, Scribal Terror asks why anyone would have sex with a fourteen-year-old-boy and advises Debra to purchase a marital aid (since her excuse for having the affair was that she was having marital problems), and my favorite, Independent Conservative puts it thus, ‘So she did it because she knew it was wrong and now she gets off with a slap on the wrist! MADNESS!!!!’ - how true (also links to two videos). [...]

    Hot for Teacher

    Are we men or are we Donahughes*?

    Do the men who think that this teacher should have been treated as a rapist and put in jail for 15 years not remember themselves at 14?

    Marion County, Florida Judge rejects Debra Lafave plea deal!

    Marion County, Florida Judge Hale Stancil has rejected the plea deal made by schoolhouse molester Debra Lafave. My only question is, will this judge push for jail time?

    I don’t know if anybody else has started this conversation, but what the hell is up, folks? Am I the only one who thinks there are probably thousands of Justin Berrys out there being taken advantage of by millions of pedophiles? How many Brian J. Doyles or Rachel Holts are sitting next to us in our cubicles and living in our neighborhoods? What is up with the proliferation of teachers having sex with their students and adolescents getting it on online with perverts without letting their parents know?

    What kind of culture are we spawning?

    I have a porn collection, and I might visit an occasional adult website for kicks. But like most of you, I consider my sexual proclivities to be well within socially acceptable i.e. “non-criminal” range. Even if my adult dabblings are not completely above “moral” reproach as judged by most religious standards, there is no way I could ever think of someone under age as sexually attractive.

    But I’ve been thinking, am I not part of the problem as well? Do so-called “normal” people like me feed into the industry that preys on weaker minds and evil lusts in the hearts of what is apparently a vast host of people whose carnal desires are not what most people consider wholesome?

    I ran across my uncles’ and my father’s dirty magazines as a kid. So did my brother. So did any number of friends of mine who all grew up to be “normal” guys who would blast anyone they caught molesting a child.

    So where is the line crossed? What neuron is twisted into something so uncontrollably perverted that it begins to make victims of our children? How does a person not know how to keep that in check if it exists, or at least do his damnednest to make sure it never ever reveals itself to another person for the shame it should naturally bring on him? Why is it so easy for apparently so many people to cross that line? Is it because of the porn culture in general that we’ve allowed?

    I want to start this discussion.

    Two points I wanna come back to:

    1. What the hell is up with some adult sites blaring “BARELY 18″? This is just stupid to me. Say what you will about personal freedom, but I think this is just downright morally and socially irresponsible that we allow such advertising. It feeds directly into the interests of those perverts who are specificly looking for underage sex partners. Such advertising should be criminal in my opinion.

    2. Why are so many children getting caught up in this without being alarmed somehow that something is inherently amiss? Also, I have run across profiles of youngsters actively looking for older “playmates”. What is going on in families where children seek this kind of attention?

    I am getting rid of my porn collection today.

    I was just thinking that in previous periods of history, people were getting betrothed at 12 and 13. Mary was 16 when she had Jesus. Maybe it all is a factor of the times in which we live, and morality truly is relative.

    I lost my virginity at age 14 to a 19 year old. I do not look back on that as a bad experience. And all kidding aside, even in the fifth grade I was fantasizing about some of my teachers. There is no doubt in my mind what would have happened if one of them had ever invited me to the broom closet.

    But none of them did, and rightfully so.

    But I think about these things a lot because my sons are 9 and about-to-be 11, and as messed up as it may seem, I want them to be virgins until they’re 21. Call me a hypocrite, but I want a better world for my children than the one in which I grew up . . . and it scares me that it’s not meant to be.

    I don’t know what to feel for so many of the children who are taken advantage of by adults. Young girls and young boys molested by men - that problem is obviously despicable. But for those young teen boys who are seduced by the often comely and voluptuous twenty-somethings? I have mixed emotions - - - sometimes bordering even on jealousy when I think about what might have been with my fifth grade teacher. (Just being transparent here). This is a real problem for us as a society. Some real boundaries need to be drawn and some real examples need to be made. And I believe we have to put some culpability and responsibility on the children themselves to watch out for themselves. Some of these kids, for whatever reason, seek out and actually enjoy these attentions from adults. Not all of them are as “victimized” to the same degree as others.
