Debra Lafave Granted Probation

It is the end of house arrest for Debra Lafave, the 27-year-old former Hillsborough County, Florida English teacher who was convicted of having sex with a 14-year-old boy. Circuit Judge J. Rogers Padgett granted Lafave’s request to have the remaining months of her house arrest commuted to probation this morning in a hearing.

Had the judge not granted her request, she 3would have remained under house arrest until this coming November.

Lafave taught at Greco Middle School and was arrested in June 2004 after the victim’s mother called police.

Although known as Lafave in the media, Debra is actually now divorced from her former husband and now goes by the name Debra Beasley.
