Amy Beck's husband sued by family

Amy Beck's husband sued by family of underage student; allegedly threatened 14-year-old with gun

The husband of Amy Beck, a former middle school teacher who admitted having sex with an underage student, threatened the victim's life, the student's family alleged in a lawsuit.

Beck's husband, an officer with the Los Angeles Police Department, threatened to kill the teen after he found the underage boy having sex with his wife, according to multiple reports.

The lawsuit claims that Beck's husband, National Beck, discovered the two in the couple's home and threatened the kid with his LAPD-issued weapon, the818now.com reported. The LAPD is also being named in the lawsuit.

"Officer Beck yelled at the victim and threatened that he would kill the victim with his police gun," the lawsuit reportedly stated.

Amy Beck, then a sixth-grade teacher at Jordan Middle School in California, admitted in March to having a seven-month relationship with the student, according to KTLA News.

She was sentenced to two years in prison after pleading no contest to charges of unlawful sex and lewd acts on a minor, but is expected to be released in March if she receives time off for good behavior.

The family said not only did National Beck threaten their son with a department-issued weapon, but the department failed to follow up on their complaint, according to reports.

The suit also complains that National Beck didn't immediately report the sexual abuse - which he is required to do as a police officer.

While both Becks may be in legal trouble, they have no plans to divorce, Amy Beck's husband told reporters at her sentencing hearing in May.

"Her husband is absolutely standing by her," Michael Williamson told reporters.
