   However, the age of consent in Arizona is 17.   
      
   Guerra also accused Las Brisas Academy Principal Dickey of   
   ignoring Zamora's requests to move the victim to another class   
   because the victim had "boundary issues" and was "obsessed" with   
   his teacher.   
      
   The teen persistently inquired about Zamora's identifying   
   features, such as her birthmarks and moles, Guerra said. He also   
   had multiple cell phones and social media accounts.   
      
   The family had Dickey's cell phone number because of their son's   
   "many behavioral issues," according to Guerra.   
      
   Guerra said she learned this new information from Dickey during   
   a defense interview. It's not clear why they accepted a plea   
   deal if Zamora believed there was so much evidence in the case.   
      
   "I can truly say that I have been unfairly treated by the state   
   of Arizona," Zamora said in her statement. "It is shocking to me   
   how others are so quick to judge after hearing accusations and   
   only one side of the story. I feel like I was used as a   
   publicity act to gain attention that was often driven by money   
   and motivation from several parties."   
      
   Guerra denied that she was blaming the 13-year-old and that she   
   was calling a Zamora a victim when questioned about the   
   accusations directly.   
      
   Russ Richelsoph, an attorney for the victim's father and step-   
   mother, told The Arizona Republic they were shocked by the   
   comments.   
      
   "To go into court and argue a client is remorseful during a   
   sentencing hearing and to hold a press conference hours later   
   blaming it on the victim indicates she's not truly remorseful,"   
   Richelsoph said.   
      
   "Her statement today just punctuates the fact that she has an   
   attitude toward children that is dangerous and makes her a   
   danger to society," he added.   
      
   >From star teacher to felon   
   Zamora graduated from Arizona State University and took a   
   teaching job at Littleton Elementary School in Avondale. She was   
   awarded "Teacher of the Year" in 2016.   
      
   She was then recruited to teach at Las Brisas Academy by the   
   principal, Timothy Dickey. He previously served as the assistant   
   principal at Littleton Elementary.   
      
   Zamora was arrested in March 2018 and accused of having a sexual   
   relationship with one of her sixth-grade students at Las Brisas   
   Academy.   
      
   Zamora is also accused of sending naked pictures of herself to   
   the student, and police records indicate she may have been   
   attempting to groom other students for sex.   
      
   The family of the victim also filed a civil lawsuit against   
   Zamora's husband, Daniel, and Liberty Elementary School   
   District. The lawsuit alleges Dickey was aware of rumors for   
   more than a month before the sexual abuse was revealed.

   The lawsuit also accused Daniel Zamora of failing to alert   
   authorities after he learned of the ongoing molestation. He   
   recently settled for an undisclosed amount.   
      
   The lawsuit against Liberty Elementary School District is   
   ongoing.   
      
   The family's lawsuit claims that three students in Zamora's   
   class reported inappropriate behavior to Dickey in written   
   statements in early February 2018. Dickey later interviewed the   
   students and lectured them on the dangers of rumors without   
   referring the matter to police or alerting the boy's parents.
