(Pasadena, Texas) In 2003, 27-year-old teacher, Lisa Zuniga, pleaded guilty to aggravated sexual assault of a 13-year-old student and was sentenced to deferred adjudication, meaning that after she completes ten years probation she won't have a criminal record. At the time of sentencing, she was pregnant with the 13-year-old boy's child and gave birth to a daughter shortly thereafter.

This week, 29-year-old Lisa Zuniga Duran (she's now married) will defend herself in family court against an attempt by the boy-father (now 17) and his mother, Tammy Ambriz, to have custody of the child taken away from Zuniga Duran and awarded to them. Oddly, in the criminal trial in 2003, the judge ordered Zuniga to register as a sex offender and avoid contact with minors.
Regarding the criminal case, it's an outrage that a teacher received essentially no punishment for molesting a 13-year-old student. In my opinion, some time in prison was warranted.
