TAMPA, Fla. — A woman who was arrested in November for posing as a student to have what Tampa Police called an "inappropriate relationship" with an underage victim now faces additional charges.
The new charges were announced in court Friday. During the hearing, a judge ordered the suspect, Alyssa Ann Zinger, to be held without bail after the state argued she was a danger to the community.
Zinger was originally arrested in November. Tampa Police said she was posing as a homeschool student on social media when she contacted the first victim, who is between the ages of 12 and 15.
She faces a litany of charges related to at least four victims, the state attorney said Friday, including lewd or lascivious molestation with a defendant over 18 and victims between 12-15, lewd or lascivious battery, possession of child pornography, sexual cyberharassment and others.
Tampa Police said in a statement in December that there may be additional victims.
Anyone who believes they are a victim should contact the Tampa Police Department at 813-231-6130.
