( CNN ) -- A California educator arrested after a former student accused her in a YouTube video of sexual abuse had her arraignment pushed back yet again Friday , meaning she wo n't formally answer to the charges for another six weeks . Andrea Michelle Cardosa was charged in February with five counts of aggravated sexual assault on a child and 11 counts of lewd acts on a child , the the Riverside County district attorney 's office said . Her arraignment , originally scheduled for Thursday , was moved to 9 a.m. ( noon ET ) Friday . But , while Cardosa was in court , she was n't arraigned . According to John Hall , a spokesman for the district attorney 's office , her arraignment was continued to April 18 at the defense 's request . Cardosa 's lawyers also plan to ask to reduce her bail then , Hall said . The charges that Cardosa faces came after a former student , now 28 , posted a YouTube video in which she accused the educator of abusing her at age 12 . Cardosa faces possible life in prison if convicted of the aggravated sexual assault charges . Cardosa 's lawyer , Randy Collins , said in a written statement earlier this week that in the face of `` very public claims of abuse , '' it would be his task `` to see that justice prevails in the midst of the media wildfire . '' He added , `` Fortunately , our justice system requires more than a YouTube video to determine the facts of a case . As we proceed , I am certain that evidence will shed new light on all charges filed by the D.A . 's office against my client . '' Collins said Cardosa was grateful for the `` outpouring of support from her family , friends , colleagues , and students during this difficult time . '' Earlier , he said Cardosa 's legal team planned to challenge the filing against the statute of limitations and challenge the bail motion to reduce the amount from $ 5 million . But Hall , the district attorney 's office spokesman , said there is no statute of limitations in California on the most serious charge -- aggravated sexual assault on a child under 14 . After the first woman posted a YouTube video of her accusations in January , another woman came forward . The second alleged victim , now 18 , has filed a complaint accusing the Val Verde Unified School District in Perris , California , of negligence . David Ring , lawyer for the older accuser , said , `` She is very gratified that the DA has brought charges against this perpetrator . She hopes justice is done in the criminal case and that Cardosa admits to what she 's done , which she already admitted to in the phone call -- that she ruined her childhood . '' Cardosa resigned January 17 from her most recent job as an administrator at Alhambra High School in Southern California after the first accusation was uploaded on YouTube , according to the school district . The video features the alleged victim on camera and what is said to be the teacher 's voice on a phone conversation . In the video , the teacher can be heard acknowledging the abuse claim . The first alleged victim said the abuse took place `` off and on '' for her between the ages of 12 and 18 . She said she did n't come forward as a teenager because the teacher had brainwashed her . `` She told me that my family did n't love me . She told me that nobody cared about me and that she was the only one that loved me and the only one that was there for me , '' she said . `` She made me believe that she was my only friend , and that I could trust her . '' The alleged victim said she did n't want a physical relationship , but she said the teacher threatened her multiple times . `` She said that she would kill herself if I ever left . And I believed that , '' the alleged victim said . CNN 's Sonya Hamasaki , Stephanie Elam and Artemis Moshtaghian contributed to this story .
