Alyssa Ann Zinger of Tampa, Florida, posed as a student to sexually abuse middle school students. Despite her previous arrest, she continued to seduce them.

The 23-year-old woman allegedly slept with her first victim about 30 times and said that she had molested other boys in the past.

According to authorities, she allegedly sent a pornographic video to several children via Snapchat. In the winter, she was charged with two counts of lewd conduct and harassment and five counts of molesting a child between the ages of 12 and 15.

In early April, more teenage boys reported Zinger, claiming that she had created a false persona of a 14-year-old girl studying at home.

"It's disturbing to see an adult take advantage of and prey on a child," said Lee Bercaw of the Tampa Police Department. "We encourage anyone who may have been a victim of Zinger to come forward. The police will support you and ensure that this woman will no longer harm you or others," he promised.

The Hillsborough County Schools network also managed to distance itself from the 23-year-old. "It didn't happen at our school. However, we are glad that the molested student felt safe enough to report it to an adult on campus," said spokeswoman Anya Arja. "Our staff immediately contacted law enforcement so they could begin an investigation," she added.
