Milazzo, accused of transmitting explicit images to a 14-year-old boy over a span of three months. Reported by the New York Post on June 20, 2025, this case raises alarming questions about student safety and the accountability of individuals in educational positions.The Chemung County Sheriff’s Office initiated an investigation on June 9, 2025, after a school resource officer received a report about Milazzo's indecent communications. The Criminal Investigations Division confirmed that she had sent these explicit photographs for several months. Arrested on June 16, Milazzo faces charges of disseminating indecent materials to minors in the second degree and endangering child welfare, yet she was released with an appearance ticket for Wellsburg Village Court.Greater Southern Tier BOCES has since terminated her employment but refrained from disclosing further details, prioritizing student safety and cooperation with authorities.
