A 23-year-old woman from Florida has been hit with additional charges after pretending to be a 14-year-old girl online and engaging in sexual acts with a teenage boy, as reported by the NY Post.
Alyssa Ann Zinger, who resides in Tampa, was arrested for the second time on Thursday when four more victims came forward. She had previously been arrested in November for allegedly having sexual encounters with a middle school student and sharing explicit videos with others. Zinger used social media, particularly Snapchat, to communicate with the minors, who attended Wilson Middle School in Tampa. The police suspected that there might be more victims involved.
Following her first arrest, Zinger was charged with lewd or lascivious battery and lewd or lascivious molestation. The recent charges include additional counts of molestation, battery, possession and transmission of child pornography, and sexual cyber harassment.
In July, Zinger and one of the victims were caught shoplifting at a Nordstrom store. While in holding she reportedly lied to police by claiming she was born in 2009. After investigating school and employment records and contacting her Tampa Publix employer, Zinger’s true identity was uncovered. The police had been investigating Zinger for about a year prior to her arrest.
