New York: A 23-year-old woman who preyed on adolescent boys posing as a 14-year-old girl faces multiple charges as she is arrested again on Thursday after more victims came forward, NDTV reported citing New York Post.
Alyssa Ann Zinger faces 11 charges including that of lewd and lascivious molestation, sexual cyber harassment and possession of child pornography, among others.
Before her arrest by the Tampa Police Department yesterday, she was arrested her in November last year for allegedly having sex with at least one student and sending explicit videos to several more.
‘It is disturbing and unsettling to see an adult take advantage of a child and prey on them. Anyone who may have been a victim of Zinger's, we encourage you to come forward. The Tampa Police Department will support you and ensure a predator like Zinger doesn't cause you or others additional harm,’ Chief Lee Bercaw of the Tampa Police Department reportedly said at the time.
Later on four more juvenile victims have come forward. The woman allegedly preyed on younger boys pretending as a 14-year-old homeschooled girl to engage in sex with them.
Zinger had sexual intercourse with her first victim multiple times and sent pornographic videos to several children over Snapchat, authorities alleged.
The Tampa Police Department was quoted as saying: ''The incident did not originate at a local school and Zinger posed as a home-schooled student to communicate with victims online.''
The first victim was a middle school boy between the ages of 12 and 15, based on her arrest report.
After her first court appearance on Friday, Zinger is due back for a pre-trial hearing on Monday.
