According to newly revealed police files, text communications between a former Goodyear teacher and her former student demonstrate how she pressured him into sexual contacts.
As a sixth-grade teacher at Las Brisas Academy Elementary School at the time of these attacks, 27-year-old Brittany Zamora repeatedly sent inappropriate messages to her 13-year-old victim while she was not at school.
Zamora and the student in issue initially spoke via a classroom group chat labelled “Class Craft,” where Zamora would announce that she would be absent from class and encourage students to contact her directly with any assignments they may have missed.
However, the victim’s letters to Zamora quickly became more sexual in nature. The victim told investigators that he received texts from his married instructor telling him she loved him.
But he didn’t know how things got out of hand. She would also get the same kind of response from him.
Zamora sent the pupil a message in which she referred to him as “baby” and that she hoped he could have remained with her since he was so adorable.
The adolescent then reacted by expressing a desire for open scheduling for future hangouts. The alleged victim claimed to authorities that he and Zamora had at least four sexual encounters in the months of February and March.
Some of these encounters took place in a classroom setting, while others took place in Zamora’s vehicle after midnight on two separate occasions after Zamora had contacted him. Naked photos were also sent between the two.
Three female students approached the school administrator in a letter, reporting that they had seen suspicious behaviour between Zamora and her adolescent victim.
After being questioned by authorities, Principal Tim Dickey revealed that he had only spoken to one of the three worried pupils.
On February 7th, these letters were delivered to the office of the school’s principal. The first sexual assault occurred on February 16, nine days after the teens wrote to the principal.
These exchanges occurred over the course of many weeks before the parents of the allegedly abused student became aware of the situation.
The victim’s parents installed a parental control programme on their son’s smartphone after becoming concerned about his unusual behaviour.
This is how they learned their kid was communicating with Zamora in a sexually improper manner. Their kid confesses to having sex with a teacher after being challenged by his parents.
Zamora phoned the student’s parents to apologise and inform them that she was resigning from her teaching post at the school.
She stated she didn’t know how things escalated so rapidly and gave no explanation for the attacks. She said that she was hesitant to provide any information .
That may lead to her being sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. The victim’s parents secretly taped the phone conversation.
