Karate Teacher Tries to Make the Sex at Her 11-year-old Student
Karate Teacher Stephannie Figueroa, sexual predator
Orlando karate teacher Stephannie Figueroa, 21, sent nude photos of herself and text messages to an 11-year-old boy in her class, saying “I want to have sex with you.” The boy’s response was, “I don’t care.” Well-played young man.
Gal Tziperman Lotan with Orlando Sentinel reports:
Stephannie Figueroa, who turned 21 on Sunday, faces charges of attempted lewd or lascivious conduct, solicitation and contributing to the delinquency of a minor, showing a minor obscene material, and child abuse.
Officials at Figueroa’s workplace Next-Gen Xtreme Martial Arts on South Goldenrod Road, near Narcoossee Road, declined to comment Monday.
The 11-year-old’s mother called opened a messaging app called Kik on her son’s phone June 15 and found lewd messages that appeared to be from Figueroa, police said.
The boy’s mother asked him about the messages that evening, police said.
The boy said Figueroa had sent him nude photos of herself, as well as photos of her “private parts,” and had been flirting with him, police said.
The boy’s mother called police that night.
The boy told police that Figueroa had told him she liked him a few times, and started “making advances” in February, according to Figueroa’s arrest affidavit.
Last week the boy said Figueroa sent him a message saying she wanted to invite him to her 21st birthday party, and that nobody else would be home, police said.
“I want to have sex with you,” Figueroa allegedly wrote, according to police.
“OK IDC [I don’t care,]” the boy responded.
The boy said he received about 15 nude or partially nude photos of Figueroa, but that they had been deleted. Police did not say who deleted the photos.
Police are still investigating if there are any more victims. Historically, the court seems to be more lenient on female adult offenders who prey on children. Should her punishment be the same as a man’s? Leave a comment to let us know what you think

Even though it is a double standard I totally understand why they are more lenient with female predators because young males usually really want to get with the opposite sex ASAP regardless of age and most would jump at the opportunity to make the sex with a 21 year old. This kid is a strange fellow to not care that this chick wanted to bang him. At age 11, I would’ve given my partially descended left testicle to bang this chick. If she solicited me for sex at that age she would deserve a medal not jail time. This whole equality movement is stupid because the Sexes are not equal… We have very distinct differences that offer both advantages and disadvantages depending on the context.
