A former Burbank middle school teacher who had sex with a 14-year-old student felt guilt-ridden for her actions and "couldn’t live with what she did," her attorney said Friday.<\/p>\n

Amy Beck, 33, pleaded no contest<\/a> on Thursday to charges related to sex with a minor. She faces up to two years behind bars. Burbank police investigators allege that Beck, a teacher at David Starr
\nJordan Middle School<\/a>, had a relationship with one of her male students
\nfrom March to September 2009.<\/p>\n

Beck’s attorney, Michael Williamson, said his client felt so bad about her actions that she turned herself into police earlier this month and refused bail, deciding instead to stay in jail.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

"Amy’s a very compassionate individual. She became really guilt-ridden
\nand remorseful," Williamson told ABC News<\/a>. "She couldn’t live with what she had
\ndone and had to bring it to light."<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
