Florida Woman Charged With Posing as Homeschooler to Prey on Boy
Tampa Police say that Alyssa Ann Zinger posed as a teenager to sexually assault an underage boy and that they do not believe it is an isolated incident.
A Florida woman is facing felony charges for allegedly posing online as a homeschooler to sexually assault an underage boy.
22-year-old Alyssa Ann Zinger was arrested in Tampa on Nov. 24 and taken to jail; she faces two counts of lewd or lascivious battery and five counts of lewd or lascivious molestation. The police do not believe this was an isolated incident.
“It is disturbing and unsettling to see an adult take advantage of a child and prey on them,” Chief Lee Bercaw said in a statement. “Anyone who may have been a victim of Zinger’s, we encourage you to come forward. The Tampa Police Department will support you and ensure a predator like Zinger doesn’t cause you or others additional harm.”
Police say they were tipped off that Zinger allegedly had a relationship with a child between the ages of 12 and 15, and that following an investigation, they learned that she “communicated with the victim primarily through an online social media platform.”
That's the second time in about a month I've seen it described as sexual assault / molestation / predation when it's a woman doing it.
Usually news outlets bend over backwards to call it a 'relationship' or a 'romp' or otherwise put a positive spin on it.
Colour me impressed.
Once AGAIN! Not a Drag Queen!
Thank you, florida woman.
Florida man has been dominating the eccentric-wild news segment but I see you have stepped up for the cause.
The Tampa Bay Times reports that police stopped Zinger and a minor after they tried to steal from a Nordstrom store over the summer. “Zinger identified herself to an officer using her name, but stated she was born in 2009. The officer could not find information on her with the date of birth she provided, but found an Alyssa Ann Zinger who was born in 2001,” the article said.
Not at all the brightest bulb there.
The part that really confuses me is... wtf is a Homeschooler? Obviously this isn't a parent teaching their own child in a homeschool setting. Context makes it sound like they advertise as someone who will come teach a child who is being homeschooled... but isn't that just, you know, a teacher? Who the fuck is going to all the bother of homeschooling their kid, presumably specifically to keep them from going to a regular school, only to then hire some fucking rando off the internet to do it for them and providing even less accountability and background certainty than even a public school?
The verbage they use to describe the molestation of a child when the victimizer is female is disgusting. This bitch was a devious, calculated child predator. Her acts should not be white washed because she's a female. Pathetic.
Good! Women who sexually assault men or young men or boys or girls, should be held just as accountable as men.
I had to explain to my gf, I ask everytime I go down on you. When you go down on me you assume it's a yes and never ask.
Men value consent too! And underage boys are not mature enough to consent to having sex with an adult!
According to a search warrant obtained by the Tampa Bay Times, that platform was Snapchat.
Figured one of the image based platforms.
The warrant detailed additional information about at least one relationship that allegedly spanned from May through September. Zinger allegedly sent explicit material to the minor and “engaged in sexual activities several times” with him.
I don’t get the mindset that leads to these kinds of actions.
Dammit! Where were all these sexed up fake-teachers when I was a kid?
