CHILD MOLEST SUSPECT, 23, POSES AS SCHOOL GIRL, "DATES" LITTLE BOYS

Tampa PD responds to reports of shoplifting at a Nordstrom department store, speaking with teen suspects who say they’re dating. Alyssa Zinger tells cops her birthday is January 15th, 2009, putting her age at 14 years old.  When officers try to verify her identity, they can only find a 22-year-old Alyssa Zinger, born in 2001. When confronted with that inconsistency, Zinger says she ‘has a half-sister with the same name.’ The store declines to press charges and both suspects are free to go.  After the shoplifting incident, Tampa PD combs through government, school, and employment records to determine Alyssa Zinger, 14, and the 22-year-old half sister with the same name... are the same person. A teen boy then reports he has had a sexual relationship with Zinger for over 5 months. The victim says he met Zinger on Snapchat, where she introduced herself as a homeschooled 14-year-old. The boy says they had sex multiple times, and she sent him explicit photos and videos. He says he ended the relationship when he learned her true age.  Alyssa Zinger is charged with two counts of lewd and lascivious battery and five counts of lewd and lascivious molestation.  She posts bond on all seven charges and moves in with her parents as the case proceeds. Soon after, 4 more victims under the age of 15 come forward, claiming Zinger sent them videos of other minors engaged in sexual intercourse. One victim says Zinger spoke about having sex with other teens. Zinger is arrested for a second time, and charged with two additional counts each of lewd and lascivious battery and molestation, two counts of child pornography, and cyber sexual harassment. Zinger is denied bond and access to electronics while behind bars.    Joining Nancy Grace Today: Kelly Hyman- Trial & Civil Attorney (Miami, FL), TV Legal Analyst, Podcast Host: "Once Upon a Crime In Hollywood", Twitter: @kellyhyman1, TikTok: @kelly.hyman, Instagram: @Kelly_Hyman1  Caryn L.
