| Brittany Zamora sentenced to 20 years in prison for sex with teen student |
| 2019-07-14 |
| [NYPOST] A former Arizona teacher was sentenced Friday to 20 years in prison for having sex multiple times with one of her students, a 13-year-old boy. The sentence, the minimum that 28-year-old Brittany Zamora faced, was the culmination of a sensational case that drew international attention, The Arizona Republic reported. "I am a good and genuine person who made a mistake and regret it deeply," Zamora told the court in Maricopa County before sentencing, according to the paper. "I lived my life respecting and trying to obey every law. I’m not a threat to society by any means." She apologized to the victims of her actions, their kin and her own relatives, the paper reported. She told the judge that her actions were out of character and said she’d like to attend counseling. She said she wants to earn a new degree in prison so she can start another career when she is free once more. The parents of the boy found out the married Zamora was having sex with their son after they began monitoring his phone with an app. Zamora taught sixth-grade students at Las Brisas Academy in Goodyear. She was arrested in March 2018 and pleaded guilty last month to charges of sexual conduct with a minor, attempted molestation of a child and public sexual indecency. On one occasion, Zamora asked an 11-year-old boy who was a friend of the 13-year-old to stand watch during an encounter in her classroom, the paper reported. |

| #12 A little consistency nationwide might be useful - yah - mandatory sentences. The Epstein thing encapsulates part of the reason judges hate mandatory sentences. If investigators and prosecutors have leeway at their levels of the process why shouldn't judges also? |

| #10 Yea, too bad for you darling - however, they been using risks of "sexual predation" as an excuse not to hire male teachers for a generation (IMO, any teacher who sleeps with their students, college as well as k12, should be shot). |

| #3 It’s no better for a boy to be molested by a grown woman than a girl by a grown man, whatever fantasies about hot teachers anyone might have. |
