Debra LaFave
Child sexual abuser
Debra Jean Beasley infamously and better known for her married former name (Debra Lafave, is
a woman who was a teacher at Angelo L. Greco School in Florida. In the year 2005, she arrested

desires and preferences centered around children. According to medical records produced in the

by the court as the person who had no healthy sexual contact with the age-appropriate
individuals. She tended to be emotionally immature and was always preoccupied with little boys.
She was targeting young male kids who were not related to her.

that she was not naturally interested sexually with young boys but turned to have sexual interests
with children as a mean of coping or substitute for a “good” partner during intense period of
stress. Her behavior can be described as more opportunistic, situational and impulsive.
