Brittany Zamorais in an Arizona prison — and she’ll stay there for awhile after being sentenced for 20 years following aguilty pleafor sexually abusing her 13-year-old student. During her sentencing, she apologized for her actions and asked the victim and his family for their forgiveness.
The 28-year-oldwas convictedof three felony charges: sexual conduct with a minor, molestation of a child and public sexual indecency.
But the father was not receptive. “Oh yeah,” he replied sarcastically. “That’s what we can do, so I can give you a chance to do it to some other kid.”
Later in the call, Zamora hands the phone to her husband, who tells the victim’s father that he believes that the two didn’t have sex. “You’ll learn the truth in a few short days,” the father says.

“Your wife decided to be a monster and prey on a child; she scarred my son mentally,” the father says. “Do you understand what a 13-year-old boy did having sex with a teacher? Do you get that at all? You’re asking me to forgive.”
The case began in 2018, when the stepmother of the boy noticed that he was acting suspiciously and wanting to shut his door at night. She installed a parental monitoring app called “Sentry” on his phone and subsequently began getting alerts about inappropriate texts. She confronted the boy, who said that he had sexual contact with Zamora.The stepmother called police.
