Anthony Iazzetta, Edison high school teacher charged with sexual assault
Posted by whitecollarcrimenews on June 16, 2009
Anthony Iazzetta, a mathematics teacher at Edison High School was arrested charged with sexually assaulting a 17-year-old female student. Lucky for him, he is 26 and not an older guy. Thus, a jury would be hard pressed to get too upset over a 17 year old having a relationship with a 26 year old. Of course, the case is still serious.
He is charged with with one count each of sexual assault and endangering the welfare of a child. There is no indication of what evidence they have, but from my own experience, I expect that he made a statement admitting to the relationship. He is facing prison time, Megan’s law and parole supervision for life. I don’t think I would have too much of an issue getting prison time off the table. Keeping him off Megan’s law and PSL requires much more work. Hopefully he gets a good attorney, but I think he would get a union attorney like most teachers do.
