From the Lafave article:
Quote:
At first the teen said a teacher drove him to Ocala, where she wanted to buy a present for her husband, the teen's mother said Tuesday. She said she was outraged that a teacher would drive a student to Ocala without parental permission.
"All I could think about was the breach of trust," she said.
When questioned further, the teen revealed the true story of their three-week relationship.
With the help of the Temple Terrace Police Department, the student made several tape-recorded calls to Lafave. On June 21, 2004, when the teen asked her to come to his house, she was arrested.
The teen's mother said she thanked God that the relationship did not last longer and that her son did not become more emotionally attached.
Her son, she said, now is excelling at sports while remaining an honor student. That is not unusual, she said. He always was a popular and well-grounded student.
The plea agreement also will help her son move on with his life. She said she did not want him to feel as though he helped put a woman in prison; if Lafave violates probation, prison will be her fault.

WTF? She probably set up the call with the police and she DOESN'T want her son to feel responsible for sending a woman to jail? "Gee, son, we really should do something about this woman whose company you're most likely enjoying. So, why don't we get some officers over here so you can call her and lure her into a trap. Oh shit! We should probably make a deal with her, though, my sweet angel can't be responsible for sending a probably mentally unbalanced, yet very hot woman to jail!"
Jesus.
Hell, I would've loved to see pics of that kid. These days, 14-year olds (male or female) can look 21 with all the shit put in food. Girls get D-cups at 14; guys are 6 feet tall at the same age. I know the law says that this situation was illegal (and rightly so), but seriously, do you really think the kid had a problem with it? How many 14-year old girls out there are willingly having intimate relations with good-looking male teachers right now? One of the reasons statutory rape doesn't get reported is because BOTH participants are willing. /tangent
Regardless, I still feel that Lafave should've gotten some jail time. Did anyone look at her arrest pic?
