 TAMPA, Fla. (AP) - A former teacher sentenced to three years of house arrest for having sex with a 14-year-old student in one Florida county won't face charges in another.
Prosecutors in Marion County decided to drop charges Tuesday after a judge rejected a plea deal that would have kept Debra Lafave out of prison.
Prosecutors, defense attorneys and the victim's mother urged the judge to accept the deal so the boy wouldn't have to testify. A psychiatrist who examined the teenager told the judge previously that the boy suffered extreme anxiety from the media coverage of the case.
