According to the818now.com, the lawsuit filed Tuesday against teacher's husband, LAPD officer National Beck, claims he threatened to murder the teen and the boy's family. The threat allegedly occurred when Beck walked in on his wife and the boy in his home.
Amy Beck pleaded no contest in March to unlawful sexual intercourse and committing a lewd act on a child.
Burbank Superior Court Judge Patrick Hegarty ordered the former David Starr Jordan Middle School teacher to register as a sex offender for the rest of her life.
Amy Beck, a married mother of three, surprised authorities when she walked into a police station in March and confessed to having an affair with one of her former students.
Beck said the relationship, which ended in Dec. 2009, had left her consumed with guilt.
Beck, who taught English and social studies, was popular with students, parents and fellow teachers, said Gabe Soumakian, assistant superintendent for the Burbank Unified School District.
