FL Woman Who Posed As Teen To Lure Boys Online To Stay In Jail: Report

TAMPA, FL — A Tampa woman who posed as a 14-year-old girl to lure and molest middle school boys she met online will remain in jail after being denied bond, according to multiple reports.

Alyssa Zinger, 23, was arrested at the end of November after pretending to be a homeschooled teenager to meet boys ages 12 to 15 on Snapchat and TikTok, according to Fox 13.

She faces charges related to five juvenile victims, several of which were found after her initial arrest. She was arrested on additional charges Thursday, WFLA said.

Zinger had sex with one 14-year-old boy more than 30 times. He broke up with her after accusing her of cheating on him, the Tampa Bay Times reported.

Weeks after the breakup, she stopped by his home to charge her cellphone and when he went into the bathroom, she used her phone to record a video on his phone of him having sex with an underage girl, reports said. He found her on his phone and kicked her out of his house and also told Zinger’s father.

In October, she sent the video she recorded to other minors as revenge, according to the Times.

Charges against Zinger include multiple counts of lewd or lascivious battery, possession of child pornography, in-state transmission of child pornography by electronic device and sexual cyberharassment, according to Hillsborough County court records.
