Schoolteacher in heat? Woman arrested thrice

A former Florida teacher already arrested twice for allegedly having sex with two of her students has reportedly scored a hat trick, after police say she again had sex with a previous victim.

Stephanie Ragusa, 29, of Tampa was taken into custody yesterday shortly after Hillsborough County detectives saw her exiting the home of the 16-year old boy.

It's Ragusa's third arrest since last month on similar sex charges.

"She's in need of help," sheriff's Lt. Fred Asteasuainzarra told the Tampa Tribune.

Her arrest affidavit indicates she drove to the boy's home in her boyfriend's pickup, saying she wanted to discuss her criminal case, but she and the teen ended up having sex.

[ElkGroveDan]

I don't understand how these cops could be so wrong three times in a row. Clearly she's as "not guilty" as any we've seen.

[driftdiver]

oh I dunno, she’s abused her position of authority and raped a child multiple times.

[A Balrog of Morgoth]

I don’t know. She’s got that “I might just be crazy” look.

Wow, when I was sixteen, I could barely afford my car payments.

[A Balrog of Morgoth]

It would appear she may be more guilty then we were initially led to believe.

[driftdiver]

She had that same smile on every time she’s been arrested.

[Crapgame]

After lenghty consideration of the intricate legalities here, I’d say not guilty....

[SIDEWALKING]

She’s 29? Wow. She looks like a teenager herself.

[ElkGroveDan]

She had that same smile on every time she’s been arrested.

I'm sure it comes in handy. I bet she never gets traffic tickets.

[Holicheese]

She looks kinda guilty in this photo. I think we need a closer inspection of ALL the evidence!

[Red Badger]

Asteasuainzarra....I’m glad I don’t have to write that.......

[CindyDawg]

"She's in need of help

She's in need of jail.

[ßuddaßudd]

Arrrrrr,,shes a fine looking wench...

[Revelation 911]

NOT GUILTY......

[Southerngl]

I hate to be a goober here, and I don’t find much ‘offensive’ and I realize I have no right to not be ‘offended’, but this article title offends me for real. As a woman.

[KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle]

Totally NOT guilty! ;)

[theFIRMbss]

> she drove to the boy's home in her boyfriend's pickup, saying she wanted to discuss her criminal case, but she and the teen ended up having sex

Yeah, my policy
is to not drive my girlfriend
to any guy's house . . .

[ArrogantBustard]

She got's da crazy eyes ... and da crazy grin.

She's crazy.

[stuartcr]

I have a hard time thinking that a 16yo male ‘child’, was raped by her.

[ArrogantBustard]

The headline is offensive but accurate.

[Dixie Yooper]

Ragusa told the boy she could help him overcome his shyness

If she really helped the boy overcome his shyness, INNOCENT! I wish I could have received help like that for my shyness in high school.

[thundrey]

She needs to go to prison for a long time. She is a predatory paedophile who cannot restrain herself from abusing minors in her care. If she was a man seducing 16 year old girls, everybody on here would be screaming for his private parts prior to a long and tortuously drawn out execution....

[SIDEWALKING]

The headline is offensive but accurate.

Sounds like a (good?) title for a pr0n movie, doesn't it?

[zek157]

1st time yes, 2nd is questionable, 3rd sorry she’s guilty.

[Dixie Yooper]

She looks kinda guilty in this photo. I think we need a closer inspection of ALL the evidence!

She was charged with two counts of unlawful sexual activity with a minor, as police placed into evidence cell-phone video footage

[SJSAMPLE]

Not guilty.

She got the “crazy eyes”.

[popdonnelly]

I could care less what she looks like. She’s exploiting underage kids to get her sexual jollies. Besides, you’re too old for her.

[Joe 6-pack]

"Wow, when I was sixteen, I could barely afford my car payments."

Obviously, you weren't practicing law at sixteen...

"Her arrest affidavit indicates she drove to the boy's home in her boyfriend's pickup, saying she wanted to discuss her criminal case...."

[Dixie Yooper]

1st time yes, 2nd is questionable, 3rd sorry she’s guilty.

She's once, twice, three time a Lady!

[Mr. Jeeves]

She's a 16-year-old girl in a 29-year-old body, like all of the others. She's just socializing with her peer group.

In this time where these is so little difference in social maturity between teenage students and twentyish teachers, the only practical solution is to forbid anyone under 40 from teaching in a high school. It will send the NEA into convulsions, but that goes with the territory.

[blam]

Not Guilty.

[FreedomPoster]

While the “not guilty” comments are flip, the reality remains that it is unlikely that the young man will get pregnant. You can’t say the same about the opposite situation you posited. The two situations are thus very different.

I’m not defending her actions, but I am saying that treating the two situations, the one in the story, and the one with the sexes reversed that you described, exactly the same is absurd. They are only the same if you believe the “both sexes are exactly the same” nonsense of the radical feminists.

[ArrogantBustard]

(good?) title for a pr0n movie

It has probably already been done.

[LADY J]

I checked the link & can't believe the long list of perverts with their pictures.

These people need to be locked up & put away.

The law has to get serious about things like this.

[Lancey Howard]

I hate these threads. They only make me realize I grew up a few decades too late.
WHERE were all these teacher-sluts when I was in the government schools?

BTW, definitely not guilty.

[B-Chan]

NOT GUILTY by reason of insanity.

[driftdiver]

“I have a hard time thinking that a 16yo male ‘child’, was raped by her.”

She was a teacher who preyed on her students. Some of her victims were 14 years old. If she was a male preying on 14 year old girls most people would be calling for blood.

Teachers need to keep their pants on while at school or with school children.

People who advocate children have sex with adults are sick.

[ottbmare]

...this article title offends me for real. As a woman.

I'm a woman too, and I think the title, while coarse, about sizes the situation up. I do tire of politically correct, nonoffensive titles crafted carefully to avoid lawsuits. She is behaving like some mares I know who will back up to a tree and rub it down with their backsides at certain times of the month.

[Dixie Yooper]

I could care less what she looks like. She’s exploiting underage kids to get her sexual jollies.

Those poor boys are going to be re-living their encounters with her for the rest of their lives! The Horror!

[Lancey Howard]

That was an excellent post. It is NOT the same.

[swain_forkbeard]

I like that look.

[EnigmaticAnomaly]

"She needs to go to prison for a long time. She is a predatory paedophile who cannot restrain herself from abusing minors in her care. If she was a man seducing 16 year old girls, everybody on here would be screaming for his private parts prior to a long and tortuously drawn out execution...."

If it is actually true, then I wholeheartedly agree that the book should be thrown at her. The double-standard present in matters like this is absolutely disgusting. I am glad someone had the gumption to call it like it is...

[DaveyB]

Clearly the authorities need to take all the children of Hillsborough County away and put them in foster homes until they can sort this out.

Child abuse is happening because parents consent by sending their children to schools where children are routinely sexually exploited. It's like they are raising them for rape!

But maybe Texas loves their children more than Florida! --/sarc

There's a very good chance that she may have been wearing a skirt or dress :)

[flowerplough]

Yep. "Saddle mare with cystic ovaries" is how I'd describe the teacher-lady.

[Southerngl]

Yes, I do agree with you. She is acting like an animal in heat with no judgement or concern for anything but her own sexual gratification, but it’s just not something I care to see in a news article. Round the bar chat, ok. But not a news article. I too tire of PC crap, hence my post about I SHOULDN’T be offended, but just something bugged me about it. But it’s my bag, not anyone elses I guess.

[Southerngl]

Yes, you are correct.

[A.Hun]

Not guilty. No crime even committed imho.

[NonValueAdded]

Dunno why she was in heat but I can sure see why her students were.

My lovely wife and I are home-schooling five wonderful children

Your wife might be home-schooling your kids, but you are playing around on the Internet.
