TAMPA, Fla. (AP) - Teacher-turned-sex-offender Debra Lafave gets
to spend her final three months of house arrest on probation
instead.
A judge ordered Tuesday that the 27-year-old former middle
school teacher will be released from house arrest on July 11.
She'll serve straight probation instead, which is less restrictive
and doesn't require her to wear a monitoring bracelet.
She was sentenced in November 2005 to three years' house arrest
and seven years of probation for having sex with a 14-year-old
student.
Prosecutor Mike Sinacore objects to Tuesday's
decision. He says the victim's family objects, too.
