Brittany Zamorais behind bars after shepleaded guiltyto sexually abusing a 13-year-old student — but court documents show she may have been grooming at least one other other boy for sexual contact.
According to the documents, the conversation allegedly grew more inappropriate during class one day when Zamora allegedly asked the friend whether he was circumsised. When he didn’t understand the question, Zamora allegedly showed him pictures of male genitalia on her phone.
The conversation ended because it was time for recess, the documents state.
The second boy’s parents declined to prosecute.
Zamora, a former teacher at Las Brisas Academy, was arrested in 2018, when the stepmother of a 13-year-old boy noticed that he was acting suspiciously and wanting to shut his door at night. She installed a parental monitoring app called “Sentry” on his phone and subsequently began getting alerts about inappropriate texts, so she confronted the boy. He told his stepmother that he had sexual contact with his sixth-grade teacher.
According to a police report, Zamora and the boy began texting and sending each other photos on Snapchat.
