   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.   
      
   "Ms. Zamora lures these boys, earns their trust and then takes   
   advantage of them purely to fill her own sexual desires," the   
   mother of the boy who was asked to serve as a lookout said in   
   court, the paper reported. "She used her position of power to   
   molest a child.   
      
   "She's a pedophile and no different than if a man were sitting   
   in her place right now."   
      
   The 13-year-old victim’s family members were not at the   
   sentencing, but their statements were read by their lawyer, KVOA-   
   TV reported   
      
   The boy's mother said she hated Zamora for what she'd done to   
   her child.   
      
   Zamora has been behind bars since her arrest and will get credit   
   for time served.
