New charges will now hold a woman accused of molesting
multiple teenage boys behind bars.
Prosecutors say now 23 year old Alyssa Zinger had sexual
relationships with four more victims who were 13 and 14
years old.
This defendant lived a full life masquerading as a 14
year old girlfriend to a true 14 year old.
Zinger was first arrested in November,
accused of having a month long relationship with a teenage
boy.
Detectives say that investigation opened up more evidence,
leading to the four additional victims.
Prosecutors say Zinger posed as a 14 year old homeschooled
student,
messaging these boys on Snapchat and TikTok.
They say there's also video evidence of multiple sexual acts.
Zingers attorney says she has a history of emotional and
developmental challenges.
I think it's clear from just the content of the
text messages,
this is not a 22 year old adult having communication
with somebody who she saw as her equal.
This is not a 22 year old child.
This is an adult. This is a 22 year old
adult.
Prosecutors also pointed to Zinger's parents.
They showed body camera footage from a search at their
home.
Investigators say Zinger's father gave them a phone he claimed
was Alyssa's,
but it was registered to Alyssa's mother and hadn't been
used since 2021.
Detective on the case says she went back a second
time and Zinger said she had lost her phone,
arguing for her release a second time.
Zingers attorney said she hasn't violated any conditions of her
pretrial release.
Knowing that these potential other cases or counts could be
added ultimately,
the judge said no terms of release would have the
safeguards to keep the community safe.
You don't really seem to grasp.
The problem here You are the problem here.
Your actions on these boys are illegal.
And it's not OK whether they took the video or
you took the video.
You were the only adult.
