Brandy quit teaching at Park Place Elementary in 2005. The asaults took place in 2004. The boys were aged eight to ten. The assaults began in the classroom and escalated. They are due back in court Jan 12.

One report: she and her husband confessed to the assaults.

GUILTY PLEA August 5, 2008 - Brandy Gonzales pleaded guilty to four counts of aggravated sexual assault of a child and one count of indecency with a child. Her husband pleaded guilty to aggravated sexual assault of a child.

Prosecutors say the couple sexually assaulted five boys who were fifth-graders.

They will be sentenced in October.

SENTENCED October 24 - Gonzales was sentenced to 60 years in prison* for four counts of aggravated sexual assault of a child and one count of indecency with a child. She tearfully testified about how she sexually abused the boys, between 11 and 13 years old.

One of the boys was sexually assaulted by Brandy and Johnny Gonzales after he sought help from Brandy Gonzales because of physical abuse at home. He attempted suicide after the revelations of the sexual encounters, [Prosecutor Denise] Oncken said.

Brandy's husband, Johnny Gonzales, 33, pleaded guilty to aggravated sexual assault of a child. He was sentenced to 15 years in prison.

[In] handing down the sentence, Judge Mike McSpadden told her, "Rather than educate our children, you chose to violate their trust in a horrific way."

"I feel she's a very serious sex offender and one that does not need to be out in our community again, around children, especially school-age children," Oncken said.

* The sentence was 40 years for each aggravated sexual assault conviction, and 20 years for sexual indecency with a child. The terms will be served concurrently.
