I love Howard Stern.  He’s so worth his money.

Backstreet Boy and House of Carters star Nick Carter confessed on Howard Stern on Thursday that his first serious relationship was with infamous school teacher Debra Beasley LaFave. The pair met when they were teenagers living in Ruskin, Florida, near Tampa.

Carter then was interviewed by US Magazine on Friday.
 
“I met her in church,” Carter tells Us exclusively. “I was 15 and she was 14. It was my first relationship and I lost my virginity to her. I was head over heels for her and I loved the hell out of her.”
 
LaFave later became an eighth grade reading teacher at Greco Middle School in Temple Terrance, Florida. In 2004, LaFave was arrested at the home of a student, accused of having sex with him at her apartment, in her car, and in her classroom. She was 23 at the time and the victim was 14.
 
Carter and LaFave’s relationship ended in the mid-90s after LaFave began a Sapphic relationship and two-timed the up-and-coming singer. “When I left to go on tour with the Backstreet Boys, I came back home and I heard she had cheated on me with a girl while I was on the road. That is why we broke up. I wanted to get back together with her until this child/teacher stuff happened.”
 
Carter, 26, admits that while he’d always held a torch for his ex, the schoolhouse scandal ruined any chance of a reconciliation.
 
“I always thought I wanted to go back and rekindle it with her, but now it’s too late for that.”
