A Florida woman is facing felony charges for allegedly posing online as a homeschooler to sexually assault an underage boy.

22-year-old Alyssa Ann Zinger was arrested in Tampa on Nov. 24 and taken to jail; she faces two counts of lewd or lascivious battery and five counts of lewd or lascivious molestation. The police do not believe this was an isolated incident.

“It is disturbing and unsettling to see an adult take advantage of a child and prey on them,” Chief Lee Bercaw said in a statement. “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.”

Police say they were tipped off that Zinger allegedly had a relationship with a child between the ages of 12 and 15, and that following an investigation, they learned that she “communicated with the victim primarily through an online social media platform.”

    There was one pint a few years ago Snapchat wanted to develop glasses that would take pictures and post them directly to your story.

        I think the first generation looks “okay,” but I hate the blocky version 4. All-in-all, it’s not a terrible concept.

          Version 4 looks like the embarrassing things my dad used to put over his glasses when he drove rather than buying clip-on sunglasses like every other person who wears glasses does.

            My grandpa has a pair of those as his normal sunglasses.

            He didn’t even wear glasses all the time, only for reading!
