TAMPA, Fla. (Dec. 4) - A former middle school teacher serving house arrest for having sex with a 14-year-old student was arrested Tuesday for violating her probation, state records showed.

According to a Department of Corrections report, Debra Lafave discussed her personal life and other subjects with a teenage waitress at a restaurant where they both worked. One of the terms of her probation had been that she was not allowed to have unsupervised contact with any minors without permission.

Lafave could technically be sentenced to prison for up to 15 years for a probation violation, but people close to the case say it's unlikely she'll serve any time behind bars for such a minor offense.

Her attorney, John Fitzgibbons, said he was disappointed that her probation officer ordered her arrest for what he called an "insignificant" violation. He characterized the conversation between Lafave and the 17-year-old girl as "typical workplace conversation that women have with their women colleagues."

"It was a workplace friendship — no more, no less," he said.

Lafave, 26, is serving three years house arrest and seven years probation after pleading guilty to having sex with the 14-year-old boy in a classroom and her home in June 2004.

She was arrested Tuesday morning and released from jail later on her promise to appear in court for a hearing later.

State attorney's office spokeswoman Pam Bondi said prosecutors will not comment on Lafave's arrest until the court hearing.

Probation records show Lafave worked at a Tampa-area restaurant called Danny Boy's until last month when she started working as a receptionist at her mother's barbershop.

While working at the restaurant, the report said, she and a fellow waitress discussed "non-work related issues such as family problems, friends, high school, personal life, boyfriend issues and sexual issues. ... (Lafave) received no permission from the court to have any contact with minors."

Lafave was ordered by her probation officer to quit working at the restaurant "due to the current allegations," the report said.

The teenage girl was interviewed as part of the investigation.

Fitzgibbons said Lafave has done so well on her first two years of house arrest that he plans to ask a judge to convert the final year of house arrest to straight probation, which is less restrictive.

The arrest surprised everyone, he said.

"I don't think anyone felt this was a huge issue," he said.

Other terms of her probation include sex offender treatment, random drug testing and 200 hours of community service, which she has already completed. She also is prohibited from capitalizing on the worldwide media attention she received after her arrest.

She pleaded guilty to two counts of lewd and lascivious battery in November 2005.

I'd let her show me a thing or 8

Damn thats hot. I wish I had her when I was in school.

Well, she shouldn't have been discussing sexual issues with a minor.

that disturbed woman must be some sort of sexual maniac...

a true mental illness...

She should be shot dead like any other child molester...

I've got a bikini pic of her on a motorcycle.

ALL SEX OFFENDERS SHOULD BE KILLED!  

THERE CAN BE NO EXCEPTIONS FOR THESE CHILD-RAPING MONSTERS!


Unless killing them is illegal or in violation of the CoC, in which event I retract my statement.

She could have "molested" me for my teenage years anytime.

You are reading my mind. How's she paying of all the lawyers on waitress pay?

In certain cases..

i never had any hot ass teachers like that

I would run, not walk, from a cuh-razy bitch like that.  I guess I'm getting old.  

What I would do to her would make Hef blush and Ron Jeremy sick to his stomach.

Still hot.

Dude , I think you are Quite wrong on this, if she 'molested' me when I was 12-14, I would look at it as a GIFT, but maybe thats just me  

I guess it would be fun the first time or six but I bet it would get old quick with all the baggage.

Trashy but HOT.

Quoted: Well, she shouldn't have been discussing sexual issues with a minor.

I'll put on my 14 year old suit so she could do just that

She needs a glowing "vacancy" sign hanging over her head.  

Why is it newsworthy when it's a chick that sleeps with a minor, but not when it's a guy?  Oh, wait... it's because she's photogenic and they have semi-nude pictures they can air.  She's just another one of those people that keeps hitting their self-destruct button as fast as they can... just better looking than most.


Newsworthy?  

Back to your regularly-scheduled bullshit.

Id hit it still

Big Al is that you?



Dude, lighten up.  She's hot.  I would have been able to die a happy 13 year old baggin that babe.  

You know...if I shaved, I'd probably look 14...  

Quoted: Damn thats hot. I wish I had her when I was in school.

I went to school with her in college.

How about if was your thirteen year old daughter...now how do you feel about it?  a molester is a molester.   all pedophiles should hang.

Quoted: Still hot.

Not as hot as she used to be. She's obviously paying the price for her deeds with her looks. She looks a lot older, or rather, more world-weary lately. She looked like a (possibly) innocent girl before, now in the first pic she looks pretty drawn and tired. Guilt will do that to you. Guess she has a conscience after all.

Is she the one infected with HIV?

I can't believe you all missed the part in the middle:

Looks like he was just humping the teacher that American teens were too lazy to hump.

When you get old enough, you won't care if she's bat-shit crazy as long as she's willing.

I'd hit it like a retard on a drum set.

Niccccce.

What a nasty-ass slut.

Whats with all you people who drool over an immature, disgusting, psychotic, child predator demon whore?

Why don't you think about what a REAL WOMAN is and drool over her? I'll let you know that real women are much more fun and worth your time.


Be gone with that deviant.

Doesn't a probation officer have to give an O.K. for the probationee to have a certain job? Don't most restaraunts employ teenagers? Don't most restaraunts serve teenagers? Sounds like it is the probation officer's fault if the above is true.

Your average GD-dwelling ARFCOMMER's take on it all:

Here's my take on this:

The first boy she had sex with that went and blabbed all over the school should have gotten his ass beat by every other male in that school.  They could have had a good thing going there.

Quoted: I'd hit it like a retard on a drum set.

Ehhhh....maybe not.

I brought my pencil, gimme something to write on.

At her trial, still wearing her wedding ring, long after her husband had left her in shame and disgust. A beautiful girl with a really messed up values system. She had it all, and blew it.

Quoted: She should be shot dead like any other child molester...

I'm not sure if that kid actually got "molested."

I'm pretty sure he had a blast, told his friends about it and they snitched on him.

Quoted: ALL SEX OFFENDERS SHOULD BE KILLED!

hell yeah man, Id be killin it all night long!!!
