  Speaker 1: Wendy Patrick, author of Red Flags on Amazon, to Katie
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Wilcox twelve News kpn X, how in the world did
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: this whole thing get started, Katie? So what we know
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: is that it first got started back in the fall
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: of twenty seventeen. She sort of, yeah, asked all of
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: her students pay text me, you know, I'll be bored
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: and this, you know, a little boy to grow up
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: on it and just center high miss Samara, and everything
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: spiraled out of control from there. What we know is that,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: you know, ultimately she met up with him and outside
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: of school, apparently they also had a sexual encounter in
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: the classroom. She had sent him, you know, explicit photos
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: and obviously you've seen some of the text messages. So
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: it all just sort of started with the text a
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: former Arizona teacher allegedly having sex with a thirteen year
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: old student. That's not having sex, Wendy Patrick. That's statutory
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: rape a thirteen year old child. My children, Wendy, as
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: you well know, because you hear it every time we talk,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: are almost twelve. This is one year older than my
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: little babies who frankly still put their tooth under their pillows.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: I mean really, and then she begs the boy's father
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: not to call police and rat her out as she
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: lost her mind. Yeah, no, you're exactly right, Nancy. You're
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: asking all the right questions, and you also are I'm
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: glad you pointed this out. Is children cannot legally consent.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: You know, so many times we hear crimes being described as, oh, well,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: it was a consensual It can't be consensual. It cannot
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: be legally consensual if you have a minor. And we're
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: not just talking about a seventeen year old. This is
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: a thirteen year old. So you talk about developmental stage.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: You are looking at a boy, not a man, not
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: a young adult, but you're looking at a boy. And
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: that's very important when you're analyzing what are we going
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: to call a crime like this, And that's one of
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: the reasons it's as serious as it is. Take a
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: list and our friends at Inside Edition. Shocking new details
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: are emerging about a sixth grade teacher accused of having
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: sex with her thirteen year old student. Texts allegedly sent
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: to the teen by elementary school teacher Brittany Zamora, we're
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: just released by prosecutors. Omglol. You're so cute baby. I
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: wish you could have stayed after with me, she wrote.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: He answered me too, I wish we could just hang
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: out together whenever we wanted. Oh, baby, I know what
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: you mean. You're all I think about. You will be
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: my wife one day in this crazy life. She wrote back,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: I'll give you whatever you want. Baby. The twenty seven
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: year old teacher allegedly mephis student for sex on four
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: occasions and set him nude selfies. Nude selfies? Well, what
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: what universe is this happening in? I mean nude selfies
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: from a teacher to a thirteen year old boy. And
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: that's not all. Listen again to our friends at channel
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: twelve kp n X. Zamora rushes to talk to him.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: She started crying actially, and she said, you know, I
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: don't know. There the only two things I care about
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: in my life, for you know, my husband, in my career.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: So did you did you ever talk to any parents
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: of the I didn't and I didn't I didn't want
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: to blow it up. A week after crying to her
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: principle for Zamore would ask the boy to sneak out
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: of his grandparents hold for sex. Outs because while Principal
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: Dickie was looking into the matter. So we're the boys parents. Okay,
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: let me understand something you were hearing from reporter Antonia Meha.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: But joining me right now is the I Team, executive
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: producer from twelve News KPNX, Katie Wilcox. Let me understand
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: the scenario. So, rumors are circulating around the school and
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: it gets to the principle. She goes to him and
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: begs for her job, claiming all she cares about is
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: her job and her husband. But according to KPNX, one
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: week after the begging to the principle, she's sneaking the
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: little boy out of his grandparents' house for sex. Exactly.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: That's what you know at first, all the police reports
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: show us. Yeah, we know that the principle received these
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: first reports Sebruary seventh, and she is messaging this little
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: boy to come outside of his grandparents house on February sixteenth.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: So possibly, I mean, we don't know this, and this
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: is part of an ongoing lawsuit against school district. If
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: there had been more intervention, possibly this little boy might
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: not have been abused it looks like yeah. The first
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: actual sexual encounter occurred on February sixteenth, more than a
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: week after the principal first one of the allegations. You know,
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: Katie Wilcox joining me twelve News kp n X I
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: Team Executive Producer. I'm just finishing the manuscript on a
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: non fiction book called Don't Be a Victim, Fighting Back
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: against America's Crime Wife. One of the chapters deals with
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: keeping your children safe at school, and I dealt a
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: research should talk to the parents about a k swear
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: This was happening in the school, and the school had
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: been informed by students, by a janitor, by others, and
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: nothing was done, and it went on and on and
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: on with very disastrous results. Long story short, At what
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: point does the school say you're on suspension until I
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: can figure out what happened? But what we know is
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: a thirteen year old little boy was sneaked out of
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: his house by his teacher for sex crime stories with
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: Nancy Grace. Screenshots of their chat show they were explicit
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: in one of them and more. I talked about wanting
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: new quitter job and have sex with the boy all day.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: The interaction between the twenty seven year old teacher and
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: thirteen year old boy. So intense students started to notice
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: and reported it to the school principle in February of
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: twenty eighteen, like I had those three students come forward
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: and early February the game year in statement, and I
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: just I started investigating Principal Timothy Dickey, the man who
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: recruited the more because of this high regard for her
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: teaching skills. Now looking into sorted rumors. I pulled multiple
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: students and asked some questions and didn't really get a
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: lot of information, and I got a lot of you
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: know that she favors him, he gets away with more
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: things than other kids. I was getting consistent stories from
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: all of them. These are rumors. Kids shouldn't be saying
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: these things. This could affect your career. It's the same
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: type of thing. Kids spread rumors and kids say things,
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: and it's kind of common as an administrator, and that's
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: typically what it ends up being. You know what I mean? Well,
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: hold all just moment joining me Katie Wilcot's twelve News
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: kpn X IT team Executive producer. So students are coming
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: forward to the principle at the beginning of February this
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: says three students. Okay, of course he has to investigate it.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: For all I know, she was just favoring a student
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: and that's all it was. But then she comes forward
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: and begs for her job, saying that's all she cares about.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: At what point did they suspend her or dismiss her
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: and as a sex with a boy go on during
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: that time, No, there wasn't that sort of pussension or dismissal.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: There was this sort of preliminary you know what the
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: school districts is called an investigation, but they didn't report
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: it to police, and she wouldn't, you know, let go.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: There wasn't more investigation into the phone records. So she's
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: not you know, dismissed or not coming back to school
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: until she's arrested in late March. And during that time,
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: the boys molested and during that time, the boys molested
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: um inside the classroom and outside the class Take a
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: listen to our friend, Antonia Mayha at twelve kpn X.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: Another sexual encounter happened on campus in her classroom after
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: a school talent show on a talent show team. And
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: I was saying bye, weving my friend or boffalok and
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: like shit. I was like saying bye, and then I
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: got my backpack and like my friend was like a
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: message with her computer and then she's like kissing me
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: and everything and like she's like you want to go in?
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: And I was like what they show you want to
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: go in? I was like I was like shoot, and
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: like just anything I did take black pants off or anything.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: But she was going a dressed so she's cool caring
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: a racing side. And then I was in thea feel
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: like a minute and I was like I don't know.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: I was like I gotta go. I was one of
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: the witnesses or one of the people best all Missumara
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: and my friend was the worst. See anything, No there
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: should doing it. It was very uncomfortable to any day
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: to do stuff. I just loved it. Well, I'm doing
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: a backflip right here because these children are the age
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: of my twins. And I don't know if you could
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: understand that because it was distorted on purpose to kind
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: of hide the victims of voice, but the little boys
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: describing to police house, the more of the teacher lured
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: the little boy into sex acts at school. Police in
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: interview another student who witnessed them quote doing it and
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: so far as to say he was posted as a
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: quote look out a lookout, so a teacher could have
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: sex with a thirteen year old child and then got
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: so freaked out by what was happening he left the room.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: Katie will Cox KPN NIX, Am I understanding, Could I
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: hear that correctly? What were they saying? Yeah, that's exactly
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: what they were saying. Antonia Mahia is a reporter on that,
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: and it was tough because again, we are trying to
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: respect the victims privacy, so it was tough to listen to.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: But yeah, one little boy says basically that Miss Samora
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: moved aside her underwear and you know, asked him to
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: penetrate her while another little boy was standing look out.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: And that other little boy has also, you know, told
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: us that she had shown him pictures and asked him
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: about his genitals, whether they were circumcised or uncircumcised, and
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: possibly was grooming him as well. So it looks like
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: possibly there could have been more than one victim. That
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: second little boy, you know, has did not say that
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: she ever took it to the same length obviously as
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: the thirteen year old boy, but yeah, he was in
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: the room apparently, Well, you're absolutely right about there being
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: a second alleged victim. Listen to this twelve kpn X.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: The second boy would detail an inappropriate encounter that he
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: also had with Zamora. If my dream was uncircumcised or circumcise, Hey,
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean, So I don't have fun
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: and looked up on supercise and circumcise, he says. Zamora
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: never went beyond inappropriate remarks with him. You know, I
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: just feel like crying, and I'll tell you why. I
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: think I need a shrink. Doctor Daniel Bober, forensic psychiatrist
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: with me right right now out of the floor to juristiction,
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: Doctor Bober. I mean, I watch what the twins watch
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: on TV. They are into the office right now. I
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: have to like fast forward every forty five seconds. But
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: I watched the movies I have bark, you know, the
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: on screen reporter sentinel telling me whenever a dirty word
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: shows up on there what they're watching on kids YouTube?
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: I mean I and then they go to school and
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: this kind of thing happens. And there were rumblings to
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: the principle apparently for a period of weeks, and nothing
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: was done, and the boy kept being molested. I mean that,
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's what's alleged. I got to see what
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: really happened. I mean, I feel like I can't fight
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: back against all of this. I don't. I'm just I
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: feel I don't feel really upsetancy. You know, it's it's
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: obviously much more rare for females to be the perpetrators
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: in these types of situations, usually as the male perpetrators.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: But I mean, this woman is just so mentally ill.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: She's a she's a predator. But is that supposed to
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: matter to me? Doctor Beber? Do I care if it's
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: a man or a woman molesting my child? You know,
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: I've got boy girl twins. So that really did not
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: persuade me at all, Doctor Bober. What I meant to
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: say is that this teacher is a predator and really
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: mentally ill, and the fact that it's it's a betrayal
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: of trust on such a deep level. It's just it's
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: I cringe when I hear that little boy in the interview.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: It's terrible with me. Forensics expert Professor Forensics, Jacksonville State University,
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: author of Blood Beneath My Feet on Amazon, Joseph Scott
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: Morgan Okay, how I'm going to prove this thing? I mean,
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: my guess is there may be other victims. How do
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: you go about proving a case like this? Nancy? You know,
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: sometimes we'll talk about cases, you and I talked about
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: hundreds now, and we might just have a teaspoon of
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: forensic evidence. In this particular case, we've got a dump
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: truck load. She has left a digital signature that is
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: so vast in this particular case. And it's not just
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: the text, Nancy, it is also these photographs, because the
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: defense in a case like this would have to be
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: able to explain away how a child came into possession
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: of images of this grown woman nude and how they
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: were exposed to this h she is. This is damnitable
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: evidence relative to her and her relationship if you want
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: to call it a relationship between these children that she's
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: charged with. So I charged with violating, and I think
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: that it is almost going to be insurmountable from that perspective. Now,
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: going back to what doctor Bober had said, you know,
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: they you know, from an evidential standpoint, they might try
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: to dismiss all of the stuff and say that she's
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: mentally ill in some way. I don't know, but just
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: the physical evidence itself is overwhelming. Well, isn't it true
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: to Katie Wilcox twelve News KPNX that she was actually
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: texting him on the school app? I said, I wouldn't
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: know in the past what a school app is, but
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: the twins got a chromebook for them to use, and
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: they have a school email of sorts, and you are
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: not supposed to put anything private or text each other
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: or email each other like hey, let's have a play
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: date on the school apps strictly for homeworar can notifications.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: Were they actually using the school app for sexting? They
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: were using the school app classcraft is what it was called.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: And yeah, you know, I'm even just pulling up some
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: of the notes that the principal took when he first
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: looked at it, mentioning exactly Classcraft. It also looks like
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: they were using Instagram. The principle noted in his notes
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: that it might have been a school account as well.
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: And then, of course I think she was using other
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: social media platforms to send him. Some of the more,
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: you know, the nude photos like we mentioned, and some
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: of the more explicit messages mostly came I think through Instagram.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: But yeah, they did use Classcraft, an in school app,
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: and that's kind of where the ball started. Crime Stories
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: with Nancy Grace Britney. Zamora pleaded guilty in court to
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: sexual conduct with a minor and other reduced charges crime
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: against children. The former teacher from Arizona was supposed to
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: go to trial, but changed her plea do you wish
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: to be guilty to each of these charges? Yes. The
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: twenty eight year old spoke softly and cried in court
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: while wearing an orange prison jumpsuit. She was accused of
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: having sex with her thirteen year old student. Police release
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: notes they say were passed between the two of them.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: You are sexy, read one. A former assistant principal who
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: worked with Zamora at a different school, spoke to Inside
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: Editions Stephen Fabian. Did that surprise you to learn that
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: she's now accused of having this sexual relationship? Too? Surprise?
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: I always wondered about it. Christina Albero said Zamora didn't
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: keep enough distance from her students. She was very friendly
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: and hands on with the boys from the sports that
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: she coached. They would like kind of hang on her
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: shoulder and hang on her back, put their arm around her.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: You were hearing our friends at Inside Edition the teacher
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: Britney Zamora pleads guilty, but don't fall for any in
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: court theatrics or claims of being sorry, because immediately after
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: that guilty pleay, this goes down. Listen. Reporters were waiting
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: for a press conference that Zamora's lawyer and family called,
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: and when they arrived, any sense of remorse went out
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: the window. Britney is not a predator and this was
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: not between a young child and Brittany. This was a teenager.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: The teenager had boundary issues and was obsessed with Brittany.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: The teenage boy was very aggressive. He even was very
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: persistent in asking Brittany about her birthmarks, Mohler's or anything
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: else that could be unidentifiable piece of information. The attorney
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: also indicating their belief the sixth grader's family was after money.
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: The teenage family's attorneys filed the civil suit within hours
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: of the issue coming too light to the police department. Well,
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: I'm so mad, I could she would nail in half.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: That was from our forens at KP in X. That
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: was William Pitt's reporting. So right after she plays guilty
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: and x all pitiful in front of the judge. Her
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: team goes out on the front of the courthouse steps
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: and blames the boy victim and his family. There's more.
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: Zamora's lawyer read a statement she said Brittany's World wrote
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: that never mentioned remorse or guilt. I feel like I
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: was used as a publicity act to gain attention that
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: was often driven by money motivation from several parties. This
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: coming weeks after Zamora pleaded guilty an hour after she
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: begged for mercy during sentencing. Zamora's lawyer then said she
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: would take no questions. Are victim that walk away now?
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: We also checked that claim that the lawsuit was filed
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: within hours. Zamora was arrested in March of twenty eighteen.
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: The victims lawyer says he filed the notice of claim
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: in August. The actual lawsuit wasn't filed until around the
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: first of this year. Of all things, to Wendy Patrick,
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: California prosecutor, I'm so manicachu and nail in half right
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: now to that this woman would go park her car
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: and get this little boy to sneak out of his
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: grandparents house and have sex with her. And now she
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: and her team are claiming it's all because the boy's
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: family wanted money. I tell you what, I think they
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: ought to slap a tampering with witness charge on her
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: from going to the boy's father and asking them to quote,
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: explain to me, can we meet to talk about this?
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: Can we settle outside quote? Those are her quotes begging
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: the boy's father not to take this case to court.
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: That's called witness tampering in my book. Yeah, Nancy, it's
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: very unfortunate that things we're hearing, And that's the understatement
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: of the day. This is abhorrent. Chewing the nail and
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: half I love, I love the visual there. You're absolutely right.
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: That's the reaction we have when we listen to the
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: words that we've heard victim blaming, even though listening to
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: that much less to hearing an example like this really
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: just really it's so hard to hear. It's so hard
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: to listen to, and especially when we're talking not about
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: a teenager but about a thirteen year old boy. And
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: this is one of the things that we do here
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: in cases like this, where that is the reaction, sometimes
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: unsuccessfully from the defense to say, oh well, it takes
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: two to tango. No no, no, not when we have
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: a thirteen year old boy. Listen to this twelve kpn X.
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: Dickie takes notes about the students concerns. Everyone talks about
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: them having an inappropriate relationship outside of class and at recess.
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: I've heard other kids in my classy that they think
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: they are dating. The day after, Principal Dickie addresses the
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: students in Zamora's class, the first thing I did was
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: that I commended the three students that came to me
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: and gave me a written statement and said those three,
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: you know, I didn't specifically give names, but I said
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: those students that came to me did the right thing. However,
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: the students that are spreading rumors and talking amongst each other,
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: that doesn't help anybody, and that doesn't lead to any solutions.
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: Since all this has come out, like some of them
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: were blaming him and couldn't wrap their head around the
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: fact that she's you know, that can't be his fault.
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: In the twenty eight year old teacher convicted of three
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: felony charges, sex conduct with a minor, molestation of a
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: child and public sexual indecency. I mean, I'm thinking back
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: on my teachers, Miss Willis, Miss Annabelle Bryant, Miss Holt,
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: Miss Amason, all these teachers to think of going into
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: classroom and seeing one of them pulling their underwear to
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: the side so a kid can have sex with her
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: in the classroom. I mean, doctor Daniel Bober, forensics psychiatrist,
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: is scaring me just bringing that image up in my mind.
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: Every one of these teachers sat on the pew behind
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: me at church every Sunday. I mean, no way, And
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: now what are these people thinking, doctor Bober? And don't
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: start with me about impulse control. See, it's it's hard
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: to it's hard to discuss this with you without bringing
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: up impulse control. But I have to tell you, I
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: think that the impulse control you have to be talking
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: about is the teacher. I mean, it's it's it's interesting
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: to me that the attorney could say that the child
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: has no boundaries when it when it the obligation is
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: on the teacher to have boundaries. It just it's it's unbelievable,
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: it really is. Listen. According to police, there were at
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: least four encounters between Zamora and her student that were
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: quote sexual and nature. The boy says Zamora would call
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: him in the middle of the night, and twice snuck
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: out and met her and require for sex acts. And
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: then I was out in our parent's house and she says,
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: I like him over. I said, I said hello, and
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: then what like like fucking when? I thought hearty and
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: She's like, no, I'm serious, and I'm like okay, But
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: before that we called before, so she came over and
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: I liked her car though that she parked at the
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: other end of the street and she said, okay, I'm
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: here and I just walked outside five stories with Nancy Grace.
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: What type bred person are you? I want to know
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: right now? A father demanding a response from his son's
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: sixth grade teacher. You're a child molester? Do you understand me? No?
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: Why do you say that? Oh? She I'm a lot
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: smarter than you. Can we meet, you know, to talk
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: about this thing. We can settle you know. Oh yeah,
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: oh yeah, that's what we can do, so I can
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: give you a chance to do it to some other kid. Yeah,
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: that's exactly, that's exactly what we're gonna do. That's exact. Note.
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: And make sure you tell your husband what's going on.
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: He is right here. Can he talk to you, Oh, yeah,
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: your husband on the phone. She's done so much and
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: she made a huge mistake, the biggest mistake of anybody
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: can ever make in the whole entire She think about God,
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: may just forgive us. Man. Your wife decided to be
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: a monster and pray on a child. She scarred my
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: son mentally for Do you understand what a thirteen year
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: old boy did have sex with the teacher? You get
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: that at all? You mean favor. Do not call this
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: number back again. The next time you'll hear from me
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: will be in court. Wow, you are hearing from channel
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: twelve kp in X. That is a teacher, Britney Zamora
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: who alleglie begins grooming a thirteen year old little boy.
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: You were hearing from channel twelve kp in X. That
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: was rep Antonia Mayhub. That is a teacher Zamora to
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: Joseph Scott Morgan, Professor Forensics, Jacksonville State University and author
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: of Blood Beneath My Feet on Amazon, Now, that certainly
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: makes me want to read it, but I don't know
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: about everybody else. Blood Beneath my Feet Now, jes Scott Morgan,
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: let me talk to you about evidence. Because the woman
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: has pled guilty. But I tell you this, Joe Scott Morgan,
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: there is a treasure trove of evidence for a civil
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: lawsuit and them going out on the courthouse steps and
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: blaming the victim. I want you to take a listen
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: to this. Brittany is not a predator and this was
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: not between a young child in Brittany. This was a teenager.
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: The teenager had boundary issues and was obsessed with Brittany.
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: The teenage boy was very aggressive. He even was very
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: persistent in asking Brittany about her birthmarks, Mohler's or anything
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: else that could be unidentifiable piece of information. The teenage's
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: family's attorneys filed the civil suit within hours of the
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: issue coming too light to the police department. Oh my stars,
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: that little scenario is going to be plaintiff's exhibit number one.
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: Not only to do the deed, she's pled guilty. It's
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: not a question as to whether she molested the little boy.
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: She's pled guilty under oath, but then to rub salt
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: in the womb by going on the courthouse steps and
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: claiming it was his fault tampering with a witness. I mean,
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: this is a huge civil lawsuit and it's going to
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: be leveled against not only the teacher's family, but the
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: school district. Yeah, yeah, it is Nancy. And we're talking
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: about civil court where obviously the measure is the preponderance
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: of the evidence. And I don't know who this attorney
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: is that's speaking on her behalf, but how you know,
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: sometimes it's just it's pure wisdom to, you know, keep
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: your mouth shut, as opposed to say in anything at
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: all that she would step out in front of this
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: thing on behalf of this of her client Like this
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: I think is damning in and of itself. And yeah,
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: we've already got this confession on her part, pleading guilty
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: and going back to this treasure trove of evidence that
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: connects her to everything. It almost seems like they're just
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: attempting to throw a hell Mary pass at this point
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: and just say, listen, we're just going to try everything.
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: We'll even go down to the point where we're going to,
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: you know, smear the name of a thirteen year old child,
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: which is just a poor ut to Katie Wilcox, twelve
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: News kpn x I Team executive producer who has covered
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: this from the beginning. I know it just it loves
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: a bad taste in my mouth to even talk about it, Katie.
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: But I want people to know. I want parents to
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: know what can go on at school, Katie. Where does
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: the whole thing stand right now? How long does it
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: appear that the principal knew these rumors were afoot until
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: she was finally arrested. So there is an ongoing civil lawsuit.
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: And the last thing that we've been able to really
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: see as far as civil lawsuit goes as the school
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: district responded to the allegations that you know, they failed
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: to report in a timely fashion they feel to protect
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: their students. They said, you know that they took these
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: initial reports from students as rumors and they didn't see
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: and they still do not believe that the rumors rose
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: to the level of mandatory reporting statute. So they're still
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: saying that there was no wrongdoing on the school's part. Obviously,
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: that case is ongoing. There are a lot of people
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: who thinks that they did not take these allegations seriously
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: enough and that is a problem. So that's going to
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: still play out in court. You know, after the sentencing hearing,
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: when Britney Zamore, as lawyer, came out and spoke that
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: way that she did, I would say in the newsroom,
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of things that we prepare for. There's
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: a lot of things that we expect to hear, and
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: this was not one of them. And I think you
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: could hear that in Will's questions as she tries to
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: walk out the door after Yeah, clearly blaming the thirteen
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: year old boy for what happened to him. Wait, Wait,
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: as justice unfolds.
