Overview
- Prosecutors say Alyssa Ann Zinger posed online as a 14-year-old and had repeated sexual encounters with a boy aged 12 to 15, sending explicit photos and videos.
- Investigators later identified four additional alleged victims, reportedly Wilson Middle School students, leading to a second arrest in April 2024.
- Zinger remains held without bail on felony counts including lewd or lascivious battery and molestation, possession and transmission of child pornography, and sexual cyber harassment.
- Court records list a May 26 trial date in Hillsborough County, and no plea agreement has been disclosed.
- Zinger’s father claims she is “mentally defective,” cites a reported IQ score of 72, and alleges mistreatment in jail; his statements are unverified and not legal findings.
