A US teacher has been accused of having sex with a 13-year-old student after bombarding him with texts.

Twenty-seven-year old Brittany Zamora, a sixth-grade teacher from Arizona, was in court after the parents of the child allegedly found the messages on his phone.


The boy and the teacher are alleged to have shared naked photos with each other and texts from her in which she said: "I want you every day with no time limit."

According to court records seen by the Arizona Central, the teacher is accused of having sex with the under-age boy three times between 1 February and 8 March this year. She's also accused of performing a sex act on him in a car.

The court was told she had begun 'flirting' with the student in a classroom group chat. From here she is alleged to have sent him a nude photo of herself and another wearing just her underwear.

One text is reported to have read: "If I could quit my job and (have sex with) you all day long, I would."

Police said the boy's parents found the texts using an app to monitor his phone.

The parents told police that Zamora's husband had 'begged' the dad not to go to the police over the allegations - telling him that his wife had "made a big mistake, but that she loved the kids," the Arizona Central reports.

He is then alleged to have suggested the men settle the matter by meeting up for a fight.

Zamora was arrested on Thursday on one count of obscene material transmission to a minor.

According to the Arizona Republic, a court commissioner then found probable cause to hold the woman on suspicion of either counts of sexual conduct with a minor, two counts of child molestation and one count of obscene material transmission to a minor.

A second student has said he saw the two having sex and says he was also sent naked pictures by Zamora.

She told the court she would 'love to go home' to her husband. Her bond was set at $250,000 (£176,600).

A spokeswoman for the Goodyear Police Department told Arizona Central: "The safety message here is parents need to be aware of their kids' activities on phones and social media and be aware of who they are in contact with."

The teacher is due back in court later this week.
