'I'm not a threat to society': Ex-Arizona teacher, 28, who had sex with a 13-year-old boy in a classroom while his friend kept lookout breaks down in tears as she is jailed for 20 years
Brittany Zamora, 28, from Goodyear, Arizona, was sentenced to 20 years in prison on Friday
When she is released, she will have to register as a sex offender and serve two life terms of probation
She pleaded guilty last year to having sex with a 13-year-old male student she taught at Las Brisas Academy
An affair between the two began over text and quickly progressed to sexual contact, officials said
She allegedly slept with him four times in her car and in her school classroom
Zamora, who is married, sent the boy nudes and photos of herself in lingerie
She was arrested in March 2018 after teen's parents installed Sentry Parental Control, which monitors messaging apps for 'suspicious content or behavior'
A former Arizona teacher who pleaded guilty to having sex with a 13-year-old boy has been sentenced to 20 years in prison.
Brittany Zamora, 28, from Goodyear, will receive credit for the nearly 500 days she has already served.
'I am a good and genuine person who made a mistake and regret it deeply,' Zamora said during a hearing on Friday morning, according to the Arizona Republic.
'I lived my life respecting and trying to obey every law. I'm not a threat to society by any means.'
After apologizing to the victims and her family, she told Judge Sherry Stephens that she plans to earn a new degree in prison so she can start a new life when she gets out, reported the newspaper.
Per the conditions of her sentencing, she cannot be released on good behavior. This means that when Zarmora is done serving her sentence, she will be 48 or 49 years old.
After she is released, she will need to register as a sex offender and then begin serving two lifetime terms of probation.
