Debra Lafave Offered Plea Deal

(Tampa, Florida) According to attorney John Fitzgibbons, former teacher and sex kitten Debra Lafave, 24, has been offered a plea deal by the prosecution that would resolve the court cases in both Hillsborough and Marion Counties.

Lafave appeared in court this morning to discuss the possible plea agreement. The state's psychological evaluation of Lafave was given to Fitzgibbons and will be reviewed prior to deciding on whether to accept the offer. It's believed that Lafave may be facing some serious jail time even though she claimed to be insane when she committed the sex crimes with the 14-year-old boy.

Last November, Lafave pleaded not guilty to four counts of lewd and lascivious battery and one count of lewd and lascivious exhibition. Each carries a possible 15-year prison term. Ouch!

Another hearing has been scheduled for July 18.
