One of the classroom romps took place at Las Brisas Academy in Arizona, in the US, as a classmate of the teen's kept lookout.

The married teacher was rumbled when the boy's parents became suspicious of text messages he was getting on his phone.

He admitted having sex with Zamora and she was reported to the school and police.

Zamora wept in the dock as she was jailed for 20 years after admitting ten counts of sexual conduct with a minor, two counts of molestation and two counts of furnishing sexually explicit material to a minor.

In a victim impact statement read to the court, the victim's mother said Zamora had 'stolen his innocence'.

The statement read: "Brittany Zamora betrayed our trust and changed [him] forever.

Before, he was an innocent child, and now she stole his innocence from him The victim's mother

"Before, he was an innocent child, and now she stole his innocence from him. I hate Brittany Zamora for what she did to my son and family."

"To Brittany Zamora, I hope you spend every waking moment in your prison cell thinking about the horrendous crime you committed that got you behind bars.

"Now you'll spend the rest of your youth and most of your adulthood in jail...I will not allow you to interfere in my son's life further.

"Good triumphs over evil and you're just a dark shadow and our family will defeat you."

Zamora groomed the boy in a series of text messages before meeting him for sex.
