The accusations levied against a New Jersey school custodian more than a year ago were vile and vomit-inducing. Giovanni Impellizzeri, 27, of Vineland, was accused of tainting school lunch food with bodily fluids β saliva, urine and feces β and cleaning products, and rubbing cooking utensils and other objects on his genitals.
On Monday, he entered a guilty plea to second-degree official misconduct, according to a statement from Cumberland County Prosecutor Jennifer Webb-McRae. He also pleaded guilty to a charge of possessing child sexual abuse material, which was discovered during the investigation by New Jersey State Police.
Prosecutors said Impellizzeri, who worked at for the Upper Deerfield School District since , took videos and pictures of himself and shared them to an online chat group that showed food intended for students and staff were contaminated. In another, he placed bread on his private areas and spit on it, and then put it back into a container.
Impellizzeri is awaiting sentencing and is facing a recommended sentence of five years for the misconduct charge and three years for child porn possession, which would run concurrently. Postmedia is committed to maintaining a lively but civil forum for discussion.
