Exclusive: Teacher Stephanie Ragusa Arrested Fourth Time for Sex With Underage Boys, Holds Up Four Fingers in Mug Shot

We're not sure what the record is for female teachers being arrested for having sex with underage boys is, but according to investigators Stephanie Ragusa, 29, has now been charged for the fourth time for having an inappropriate relationship with an underage high school boy. And in all of her mug shots, she seems less than concerned about the mounting charges against her. In fact, The Dumbass Daily has obtained this exclusive mug shot (taken, apparently, after her latest arrest) from a source at the police department, showing what the image looked like before it was edited. Experts tell us they believe the hand gesture could be some sort of gang sign, but we think it could also stand for her fourth arrest for the same crime . . . and yet, she keeps on smiling, doesn't she?
There was also a report in the news that not only had Ragusa lied on her resume when she applied for her job at Davidsen Middle School, claiming she had graduated "suma cum laude" from University of South Florida, and in the process misspelling the common term for obtaining a high GPA. That's some fine fact-checking there, Lou.
Here's more on Ragusa's fourth arrest in the past two months from Tampa Bays 10:

Although Stephanie Ragusa smiled each time she was led of out jail, the 28-year-old teacher was worried about getting caught having sex with her student.

She was hesitant to talk about it when the victim called her. At the time, investigators were with the alleged victim, and taping the conversation. "I get paranoid about it," Ragusa told the teen "People like to take you down. People like drama."

According to the police report, when Ragusa first hooked up with her alleged victim, she was in a wheel chair and he was her escort. The report says he pushed the wheel chair into an elevator at Davidsen Middle School. That's where Ragusa told the teenager, "I can see you're shy, and I can fix it." Police say later that day she took him to her apartment after school, where she performed oral sex and they had intercourse.

During the phone conversation, Ragusa admitted she knew what she had done was wrong.

On the phone Ragusa tells the teen it's illegal. When the alleged victim asks why, Ragusa says, "You're under 18 and I'm over 18, and I don't know, whatever."

In the taped conversations she says "it would be all over the news and everything." When the teenager asks if she means it would be like what happened to Debra Lafave, another teacher who had sex with a student, Ragusa replies, "Yeah." When the teen asks Ragusa what she remembers about it, she says "it was fun."

And it was "fun" that could and wipe the smile off Ragusa's face and put her in prison for years.
