A 23-year-old Florida woman who posed online as a 14-year-old girl to meet and molest a teenage boy has been hit with additional charges, officials said.
Alyssa Ann Zinger, of Tampa, was arrested for the second time on Thursday and charged with additional sex crimes with minors after four more victims came forward,
WFLA reported.
She was first
arrested in November for allegedly engaging in at least 30 sexual acts with at least one middle school student between the ages of 12 and 15 and sending explicit videos to several more, according to an arrest report.
Zinger and one of the victims were busted shoplifting at a Nordstrom in July. She tried to continue putting up the front and told cops she was born in 2009 — which he could not verify, according to a search warrant.
Goes to show that women can be creeps as well. Hopefully she is kept far away from people and children, and locked up. Man, this grosses me out. This criminal defiled multiple young children, and the damage done is irreversible.
Here is a summary of the article:
In an article published on April 6, 2024, by Patrick Reilly for WFLA, a 23-year-old woman named Alyssa Ann Zinger from Tampa, Florida, was arrested for the second time on s*x crime charges involving minors. The initial arrest took place in November 2023, following allegations that Zinger had engaged in s*xual acts with at least one middle school student between the ages of 12 and 15 and sent explicit content to several more minors.
Zinger allegedly created a fake persona on social media, posing as a homeschooled 14-year-old girl named "Alyssa," and communicated with the minors primarily through Snapchat. Tampa police believed there were additional victims, as they initially charged her with two counts of lewd or lascivious battery and five counts of lewd or lascivious molestation.
After the first arrest, four more victims came forward, leading to additional charges against Zinger on Thursday, April 4, 2024. She was charged with two counts of lewd or lascivious molestation (victim 12-15), two counts of lewd or lascivious battery, possession of CP, in-state transmission of CP by electronic device, and s*xual cyber harassment.
The initial victim reported that they had s*x multiple times, with Zinger sending him explicit photos and videos. Another victim claimed she sent a video depicting s*xual intercourse to several children through Snapchat. Zinger also told one victim that she had s*x with other teens, according to arrest documents.
In July 2023, Zinger and one of the victims were caught shoplifting at a Nordstrom. During their interaction with law enforcement, Zinger attempted to maintain her false identity by stating she was born in 2009, but the officer could not verify this information. Police had already been investigating Zinger for about a year before her first arrest, and they discovered she was lying by examining school records and contacting her employer at Publix, who confirmed she was an adult.
A victim came forward about Zinger’s alleged crimes just three months after the initial arrest.
