A former Catholic high school teacher who befriended and then sexually abused a vulnerable student has been sentenced to three years in prison.
Giuseppe (Joe) Graziano, 56, taught religious studies and cosmetology at Cathedral High School, on Wentworth Street North, at the time of the offences.
"Mr. Graziano slowly worked his way into the life (of the student) — more than one would expect of a teacher," said Superior Court Justice Harrison Arrell in sentencing Graziano on Thursday.
Graziano was convicted in August of sexual interference and sexual exploitation for sexually touching a person under 16 and for touching a young person while in a position of trust.
The offences took place at the school, at Graziano's home and at a trailer he owned. (more...)
