BURBANK, California (AP/HP) A California middle school teacher who's reportedly wracked with guilt over an affair with a 14-year-old boy has been returned to jail following a brief court appearance. Amy Victoria Beck had arrived in court with her lawyer on Wednesday for her arraignment, but it was postponed until March 25. She is jailed in lieu of $175,000 bail. Her lawyer, Michael Williamson, says she wants to stay there for the time being to avoid the media. Authorities say Beck arrived at Burbank police headquarters on Monday and said she was tormented with guilt. Police say she confessed to having sex with one of her male students last year. Prosecutors charged Beck with five counts, and she faces up to seven years in prison if convicted. More>>
