Florida woman who posed as 14-year-old to molest middle schooler faces additional child sex charges

A 23-year-old Florida woman who posed online as a 14-year-old girl to meet and molest a teenage boy has been hit with additional charges, officials said.

Alyssa Ann Zinger, of Tampa, was arrested for the second time on Thursday and charged with additional sex crimes with minors after four more victims came forward, WFLA reported.

She was first arrested in November for allegedly engaging in at least 30 sexual acts with at least one middle school student between the ages of 12 and 15 and sending explicit videos to several more, according to an arrest report.

The accused predator allegedly created a fake persona on social media as a homeschooled 14-year-old and communicated with the minors — who attended Wilson Middle School in Tampa’s Hyde Park neighborhood — mainly through Snapchat.

Tampa police said at the time they believed there were additional victims.

After her first arrest she was charged with two counts of lewd or lascivious battery and five counts of lewd or lascivious molestation.

On Thursday, authorities tacked on two counts of lewd or lascivious molestation (victim 12-15), two counts of lewd or lascivious battery, possession of child pornography, in-state transmission of child pornography by electronic device, and sexual cyber harassment.

The first victim told police the pair had sex multiple times and that Zinger sent him explicit photos and videos while another said she sent a video to several children through Snapchat depicting sexual intercourse, according to arrest documents. She also told one victim that she had sex with other teens.

Zinger and one of the victims were busted shoplifting at a Nordstrom in July. She tried to continue putting up the front and told cops she was born in 2009 — which he could not verify, according to a search warrant.

The officer was able to find information on an Alyssa Zinger born in 2001, but when confronted, Zinger told a desperate lie that she had a half-sister with the same name, the document said.

Police had already been investigating Zinger for about a year, according to the warrant.

Cops learned she was lying by reviewing school and employment records and contacting her Tampa Publix employer, which confirmed she was an adult.

A victim came forward about Zinger’s alleged crimes just three months later.

the female version of a PEDO... and she should get the Romeo and Juliet law (aka automatic considered statutory rape if the other person is under 17yrs old). sadly, she probably wont get any jail sentence (like a man her age would if he had sex with a 14yr old teenager)
