A 30 year- old teacher accused of having an affair with his 17 year- old student will probably not be prosecuted criminally.
Cypress Bay marketing teacher Alex Anninos, 30, met the 17 year- old student with whom he had an affair at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in August. According to police investigators, the pair had sex at least 10 times over the next six months, at Anninos� home.
However, the student, who says that she is �in love,� is unwilling to press charges against the teacher. She has refused to give a statement, and has said that she will not testify in court. According to police spokesman Hugh Graf, she �is still not eager to prosecute and is not being cooperative with investigators.�
Anninos resigned from his teaching position on Monday. He has worked there since 2003, when he was hired as a security monitor. The Florida Department is conducting an investigation that will probably result in a revocation of Anninos� license. If this happens, he will be entered into a state and national database for school districts to consult before they hire teachers.
Anninos could, if the student were to cooperate, be charged with a second- degree felony. Under Florida law, it is illegal for someone who is 24 years old to have sex with someone who is 17 years old.
