Teacher Who Had Sex With Teen Arrested

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) ― 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.

It wasn't immediately clear how Debra Lafave violated probation.

Her attorney, John Fitzgibbons, planned a news conference later Tuesday to address the issue.

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

A Department of Corrections document indicates only that she failed to comply with conditions of her probation. She was arrested Tuesday afternoon and then released from jail.

She has had no previous violation of her house arrest. Probation records show she worked at a Tampa-area restaurant until last month when she started working at her mother's barbershop.
