Brittany Zamora

Brittany Zamora asked to become a tutor as a prison work assignment as she serves time for sexually abusing a sixth grade boy.

Brittany Zamora, who is currently serving 20 years behind bars for sexually molesting a sixth grade student, has filed for divorce from her husband.

"Brittany is not a predator and this was not between a young child and Brittany. This was a teenager,” attorney Belen Olmedo Guerra said following her client's sentencing. 

A lawyer who represents the sixth grader's family said they are humiliated and are worried about how the abuse will impact him.

"You deserve to leave prison when you're too old to bear children,” the victim's mother told Zamora in an emotional statement.

The $2.5 million civil lawsuit, filed by the boy's parents, says "he no longer looks at any female including his mother the same."  

Brittany Zamora pleaded guilty last month to repeated sexual misconduct with a student. A newly revealed police report alleges she promised to send another student nudes and asked for details about his genitalia.
