Upstate NY School Employee Sent Nudes to 14-Year-Old Boy

Why this matters: This incident highlights the potential dangers of online interactions between adults and minors and the legal consequences that can arise. It also underscores the importance of school policies regarding employee conduct.

Anamaria Milazzo, 22, from Elmira, NY, was taken into custody after an investigation revealed she had been sending nude photos to a 14-year-old boy over a three-month period. The Chemung County Sheriff’s Office reported that the investigation started after a school resource officer assigned to Greater Southern Tier BOCES received a complaint. Milazzo was charged with a felony and a misdemeanor but was released with a ticket to appear in Wellsburg Village Court at a later date. GST BOCES confirmed Milazzo's employment but did not specify her role or the exact dates of her employment. The boy's identity and whether he attended the same school remain undisclosed.
