You know, just when you think the entire Debra Lafave story has nothing left to offer, a former Backstreet Boy steps up and reveals that she was his first sexual experience:

Nick Carter has revealed he lost his virginity to Debra Lafave, the Florida schoolteacher who shocked America by having sex with a 13-year-old pupil.

The former Backstreet Boy told shock jock Howard Stern he dated LaFave for 18 months when they were classmates, but ditched her after learning “she had cheated on me with a girl.” He kept quiet during the scandal, which thrust Lafave to notoriety, because his management team were worried about the controversy.

The singer says, “My publicist is like, ‘Stay as far away from that [bleep] as you can.’

At this point I’m not even sure I can feign surprise. Actually I think the most surprising part is Carter’s reason for breaking up with Lafave. Who breaks up with their girlfriend, in high school no less, for sleeping with another girl?

Debra Lafave, under house arrest, was granted a temporary leave to do a national interview with NBC’s Matt Lauer:

Debra Lafave, the teacher turned seducer of a 14-year-old boy, got a break from her home confinement to sit down Tuesday with NBC’s Matt Lauer for an interview that will air on national TV.

Her probation officer didn’t agree to it. A judge and prosecutors did.

“Debbie really wanted to explain her bipolar illness in hopes that it might be beneficial to people when they hear about it,�? her attorney John Fitzgibbons said.

Court records show prosecutor Michael Sinacore didn’t object because 25-year-old Lafave was not compensated, a condition of her three-year community control.

I don’t personally really see the problem with this since she won’t be compensated. I’m sure many people don’t give her bipolar defense much credence, but if she is actually bipolar then it’d definitely explain her actions.
