A day after Kaitlyn Hunt reached a plea deal for having sex with an underage girl, she spoke out from her jail cell.
Earlier this year, the 19-year-old former cheerleader was arrested and charged with lewd and lascivious battery of a minor.
The high school senior was romantically involved with a 14-year-old freshman girl and faced a maximum sentence of 30 years in prison and a place on the sex offender registry if convicted.
She said she has no regrets about the relationship that landed her in jail. Hunt has always insisted the sex was consensual.
Hunt will be released just before Christmas a month and a half from Friday.
"Do I think I made a mistake dating someone in high school? That I went to school with and I played basketball with? No," Hunt said.
She pleaded no contest Thursday to four misdemeanors and one felony in what was her third plea agreement.
Prosecutors said the family rejected the first two plea deals, insisting Hunt was being targeted because she was in a same-sex relationship.
But then prosecutors found a trove of 20,000 text messages and lewd photos from Hunt to her girlfriend.
Investigators said Hunt violated the judge's no contact orders with the victim in a big way.
A detective said it appeared through the text messages Hunt was hoping to keep
The judge put her back in jail.
Hunt called her professed love "stupid" and "pimple-faced" Friday but said she's unapologetic.
"Do you concede that your girlfriend was a victim in this?" asked the interviewer.
"I don't really feel like she's a victim, no," Hunt said.
The rest of Hunt's interview will be on ABC's 20/20 at 10 p.m. Friday followed by Eyewitness News at 11.
