Tampa Police say that Alyssa Ann Zinger posed as a teenager to sexually assault an underage boy and that they do not believe it is an isolated incident.

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.”

    It’s 50/50 people who wish it was them and people who only hate her because she’s a woman and wouldn’t say a thing if a man had done the same thing. But damn her being attractive, young, and feeeeemale

    I’m all for holding people accountable based on their crimes and not their gender.
