from www2.tbo.com – TAMPA – An Apollo Beach man is denying an online report that he is engaged to Debra Lafave, the former teacher who gained worldwide notoriety for having sex with a 14-year-old student.

Shawn Haverfield shot down a report on RadarOnline.com that he was engaged to Lafave, who now goes by her maiden name of Debra Beasley.

“No, not at this time,” Haverfield said in a Facebook message, responding to a question about whether he and Beasley are engaged.

“I don’t know where it started.”

On New Year’s Eve, RadarOnline.com – citing an unnamed source “close to the couple” — reported that Haverfield, 34, and Beasley, 30, are engaged.

“EXCLUSIVE: Sex Crime Teacher Debra Lafave Set to Wed,” read the headline on Radar’s story, which the celebrity gossip site posted at 4:30 a.m. Friday.

While Haverfield and Beasley might not be engaged, they appear to be living together.

Beasley lives at 904 Spindle Pine Way in Apollo Beach, Florida Department of Corrections records show. Haverfield owns the house, according to Hillsborough County property records.

Cliff Renfrew, the reporter who wrote the RadarOnline.com story, said he was acting on an anonymous tip and that a “family member did not deny it and said she thinks ‘Debbie is a great girl.'”

Haverfield owns The Docks, an Apollo Beach bar.

In November, 2005, Beasley was sentenced to three years of house arrest and seven years of probation. The former Greco Middle School teacher was arrested after having a sexual relationship with the student in 2004.
