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.”

    Whoever is downvoting you for this are short-sighted and selfish idiots. You’re 100% correct: the rules two adults consent to are none of anyone’s business but those adults, and everyone has a right to set their own boundaries.

      Right, but if you bring it up in a discussion forum, expect people to discuss it.

        Discussion is fine, telling someone their boundaries are “silly” because you personally don’t agree with them is not. It’s condescending, rude, presumptive, and judgemental.

        But these are things you’re clearly okay with so you do you boo 🤡

          They can do whatever they want. Expecting others to do it too is the silly thing. Partners know each other super well. Not knowing or even ignoring boundaries would be the issue there. Not them being unknown.

            I’m not sure exactly what you’re trying to say, but everyone should respect their partner’s set boundaries. Respect is part of love so everyone should want to do that for their partner anyway, but respecting someone’s set boundaries no matter who they are is not up for discussion. “No” means “no”.

            These rules can be and are different for everyone. The only rule that applies to everyone is that everyone gets to set these rules for themselves. I hope that clears things up.

              I am saying that partners should know each other. That there is no need to discuss basic things every time. I don’t need to ask my partner if I should add X while cooking - I know they like it, so I do (or don’t of they don’t).

                So why are you arguing as though we’re saying different things? Your partner says they don’t like something, that’s a boundary they set, respect it and don’t do the thing they don’t like.

                You placed judgement upon someone else’s boundary, in someone else’s relationship, when nobody asked, which isn’t cool. It’s not your place to judge boundaries in anyone else’s relationship, you only get to say whether or not it’s a boundary for you, in yours. All I’m saying here is:

                1. Boundaries get respected, and
                2. you don’t have any right to judge other people for what they’re comfortable with

                  Sorry, what? Where did I say such things?
