WE NEVER HAD TEACHERS LIKE THIS WHEN I WAS A KID LOL
![]()
TAMPA, FL -- The list of Tampa area teachers charged with having sex with teenagers is getting longer.
A 40-year-old substitute teacher is accused of sleeping with a 16-year-old.
It's the third such accusation in the area in just two weeks.
The Pasco County Sheriff's office says 40-year-old Lisa Marinelli, a substitute teacher, started having sex with a 16-year-old boy in January.
The sheriff's office isn't saying whether the boy, who is 17 now, is a student at Mitchell High School, where Marinelli worked.
What investigators are saying is that Marinelli gave the boy a pair of her underwear, called him hundreds of times, and sent him text messages.
The sheriff's office says the boy's father called authorities when he saw his son getting out of Marinelli's car and straightening up his pants.
Pasco Schools Superintendent Heather Fiorentino and Mitchell Principal Ric Mellin didn't return calls to talk about Marinelli's arrest.
Concerned parents say they want to know why this problem seems to be on the rise.
The sheriff's office says the boy told investigators he had sex with her ten times during the months of January and February.
She's being held at the Pasco County Jail on $20,000 bond.

WHAT THE FUCK??? WATCH YOUR FUCKING KIDS!
Teen Sex for Sale: Middle School Madam Busted
The arrest of a 13-year-old girl who allegedly lured other teens to dance and perform sexual acts for money at a Dallas nightclub has focused a spotlight on the widespread problem of teen prostitution and the challenge it presents law enforcement.
Investigators told ABC News' Dallas affiliate WFAA-TV that the teen enticed girls to work at Club Metropolis with the promise of money in exchange for sexual services.
Lt. Chess Williams of the Dallas Police Department would not comment on the specific case to ABC News, but WFAA video shows Dallas police leading girls from the club Saturday.
"The circumstance where we might arrest a juvenile is truly an unusual circumstance," Williams said to ABC News. "The far more prevalent scenario is that it's adults who are going after kids."
Dallas police have made going after the adults behind teenage prostitution a priority. It's an approach that Williams says is more complicated for law enforcement and prosecutors, but a more effective approach to a problem facing cities across the country.
The Dallas Police Department unveiled a pilot program in 2004 to try to gauge the extent of teen prostitution in the city.
During two six-month-long periods, 120 underage girls involved in some type of sex exchange were identified by police. "There were far more juveniles than we anticipated," Williams said.
