Teacher accused of classroom sex crime

[Bubba]

A Hamilton Catholic high school teacher is charged with a classroom sex crime involving a student. Giuseppe Graziano, 51, of Stoney Creek, was charged Tuesday with sexual assault, sexual interference and two counts of invitation to sexual touching.


He is a veteran teacher, having taught 14 years at the school where the alleged offence took place. Police say there may be other victims. Anyone with information is urged to call 905-546-3855.


Police alleged a student under 16 was initially approached at Cathedral Secondary School in January and requested to have sex. Police said a sexual assault occurred inside an empty classroom at the school in February.


A statement — released Tuesday by Hamilton-Wentworth Catholic District School Board Chair Patrick Daly — said police and the Catholic Children’s Aid Society were notified when the allegations were brought to light on Feb. 10.


The suspect was sent home and notified in writing he was on home assignment.


“The school and board administration has and will continue to cooperate fully in the investigation and we have encouraged our staff and students to do the same,” Daly stated.

Were it my child I would convince him why it is in his best interest to plead guilty and ask for the maximum sentence without the possibility of parole.

Well if it was your child she/he would probably be telling the truth about the assault, in which case I would agree with you. Unfortunately other children have been known to fabricate these allegations in the past so let's wait for all the facts first.

You do have a point.

HOWEVER is there were any sexual act involved that would have me talking to him and why he should plead guilty................

Exactly why all the facts in all these types of cases need to be brought forth in an unbiased manner.

It is/would be quite easy for a student to ruin a teacher's life because he gave her an F on her exam. People are just so quick to condemn immediately then gather evidence.

Giuseppe Graziano, 51

Is this point just alittle weird? He teaches cosmetology at Cathedral.

^^^^He also teaches Spanish as well.

It seems the student was a boy with a ''shady'' reputation who made the allegation just after report cards were issued. CS were called and therefore charges were laid.

it is best to reserve judgment until all the facts come out.
