After the man deceived the parents into thinking he was taken their child to an award ceremony, he then drove her to a school parking lot in Queens and raped her in his car. The girl's mother suspected that something was up and called the cops after finding a ton of "segxwal" emails between him and her daughter. One incredibly disturbing one mentioned that Criscuolo was planning on leaving his wife for the girl, even though parents and colleagues were under the impression that he had a girlfriend that also worked at the school. The man had also given the girl an iPod Touch along with a diamond ring he allowed her to wear in his classroom.
The scary thing is that Criscuolo has been teaching for years. He's a tenured teacher that makes around $73,000 a year. He began teaching in 2002 and has been teaching fifth grade special education since 2011. Other students from his fifth grade class claim that he was always giving his students constant attention and gifts, but seemed especially interested in the 10-year-old girl who he used to exchange notes with. And during a Valentine's Day party started dancing with her in such a romantic way it left parents disgusted.
Thank God he's been arrested and an Education Department spokesman claims that they plan on terminating him. He is also banned from being anywhere near the school's property.
What kind of demented person goes out of their way into tricking a kid's parents just so they can go and rape their kid? This poor girl was probably too scared to tell anyone about it or was just too young to know how wrong the teacher was being. I hope this man never teaches again a day in his life and spends a VERY long time behind bars!
