Pouty upstate New York education worker is busted for sending boy, 14, nude selfies
Anamaria Milazzo, 22, was arrested in Elmira, New York, a town about an hour south of Syracuse, for sending 'indecent material to minors,' according to the Chemung County Sheriff's Office.
She was slapped with a felony charge for sending disturbing content and also faces a misdemeanor charge for endangering the welfare of a child.
The shocking claims came to the police's attention on June 9 when a School Resource Officer received a complaint that Milazzo was sending the content to a minor.
An investigation revealed that Milazzo was allegedly sending nude selfies to the young teen for three months.
The 22-year-old was employed with New York's BOCES program, which stands for Boards of Cooperative Educational Services.
BOCES provides programs and services to five city school districts in the state, including New York City, Buffalo, Rochester, Yonkers, and Syracuse.
Officials with the program confirmed to local NBC affiliate, WETM, that Milazzo was terminated from her position.
According to police, Milazzo was with the Greater Southern Tier division of BOCES in Chemung County.
It's unclear what her role was at the school. Daily Mail reached out to BOCES for comment and additional information on the case.
Milazzo wasn't taken into custody but has been issued an appearance ticket at the Wellsburg Village Court.
The disturbing allegations come after another young education worker, teacher Christina Formella, 30, was accused of grooming an underage student.
Formella appeared in an Illinois court on Tuesday, where she faced numerous charges of sexual assault, indecent solicitation of a child, grooming, and aggravated criminal sexual abuse.
Prosecutors alleged that the teacher groomed a 15-year-old male student and had sex with him multiple times at a high school from January 2023 to at least August 2024.
The abuse came to light when the unidentified student's mother found inappropriate messages between them on her son's iCloud account.
She allegedly sent shocking messages to the boy, including one that states she 'loves having sex' with him. Her next court appearance is scheduled for August 4.

Epstein's brother hints at Ghislaine Maxwell's knowledge
Jeffrey Epstein's brother has accused the White House of a 'cover up' after Donald Trump's Justice Department said it would speak to Ghislaine Maxwell in jail. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche revealed on Tuesday he expects to meet with Maxwell in the coming days to see if she has 'information about anyone who has committed crimes against victims.' Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence after being convicted of trafficking of minors on behalf of Epstein. The move to speak to her is part of an ongoing Justice Department effort to cast itself as transparent in the Epstein case, which has been shrouded in conspiracy theories. It follows a fierce backlash from parts of Trump's base over an earlier refusal by the administration to release additional records in the investigation. Attorney General Pam Bondi has faced mounting pressure from Trump's supporters to release all materials related to Epstein, who killed himself in a New York jail cell in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges. A lawyer for Maxwell said she would cooperate with the Justice Department. 'I can confirm that we are in discussions with the government and that Ghislaine will always testify truthfully,' her lawyer David Oscar Markus said. 'We are grateful to President Trump for his commitment to uncovering the truth in this case.' But Mark Epstein (pictured right), brother of the disgraced late financier, claimed it was the latest effort to distract attention from unpublished evidence and the circumstances surrounding the death of his brother. Two weeks ago, a months-long review conducted by the Justice Department and FBI concluded that Epstein died by suicide. Mark Epstein maintains his brother was killed. He said: 'They'll talk to her (Maxwell) and ask her what her favorite color is. So they can say they talked to her. It depends what the conversation is about. Maybe she'll be afraid to speak, afraid they'll hold it against her and turn down her appeal.' Mark Epstein said he knew Maxwell in the 1990s but had not spoken to her for several decades. But he believed she would have information about interactions between Epstein and Trump. 'She could certainly verify that Trump was in Jeffrey's office many times,' he said. He claimed a White House statement on Monday that Trump had 'never been' to his brother's office was 'the biggest crap I've ever heard. I would speak to Jeffrey and he'd say he was with Trump. I know people in his office saw him there,' he said. The White House referred a request for comment to the Justice Department. The Justice Department did not comment beyond Blanche's earlier statement. Blanche said: 'This Department of Justice does not shy away from uncomfortable truths, nor from the responsibility to pursue justice wherever the facts may lead.' He said in the recent Justice Department and FBI review 'no evidence was uncovered that could predicate an investigation against uncharged third parties.' Blanche added: 'President Trump has told us to release all credible evidence. If Ghislane Maxwell has information about anyone who has committed crimes against victims, the FBI and the DOJ will hear what she has to say. I anticipate meeting with Ms. Maxwell in the coming days. Until now, no administration on behalf of the Department had inquired about her willingness to meet with the government. That changes now.' Speaking in the Oval Office on Tuesday, Trump addressed the DOJ plan to speak to Maxwell, saying he was not aware of it but it seemed 'appropriate to do.' He said: 'I don't know anything about it. I don't really follow that too much. It's sort of a witch hunt.' Trump has long said he was 'not a fan' of Jeffrey Epstein, that he had a 'falling out' with him around 20 years ago and never spoke to him again. Last week, the president sued media magnate Rupert Murdoch and The Wall Street Journal after it published a story about Trump's alleged friendship with Epstein. Meanwhile, some of the president's supporters have continued to pursue conspiracy theories that Epstein had a list of high-profile clients. The Justice Department and FBI review concluded there was no such 'client list.' Trump has urged his supporters not to be taken in by what he called a Democrat 'scam' and 'hoax' which was actually 'pretty boring stuff.' Some of Trump's most staunch supporters in recent weeks have called on Bondi to resign, after she backtracked on a promise she made earlier this year. She had said her department would release additional materials including 'a lot of names' and 'a lot of flight logs' in connection with Epstein's clients. Since then, at Trump's direction, Bondi and Blanche have asked a federal court for permission to unseal grand jury transcripts in the cases of both Epstein and Maxwell. However, legal experts have said that those transcripts will not likely contain the types of materials being sought by Trump's supporters. A source who spoke with the Daily Mail said that Maxwell would be 'more than happy' to testify before Congress. 'No-one from the government has ever asked her to share what she knows,' the source said. 'She remains the only person to be jailed in connection to Epstein and she would welcome the chance to tell the American public the truth.'

Jeffrey Epstein's former lawyer Roy Black dies after illness at age 80
Roy Black, the prominent criminal defense attorney who helped secure Jeffrey Epstein's 2008 plea deal, has died at the age of 80, his family confirmed. Black passed away at his home in Coral Gables, Florida, on Monday after battling an illness, his wife Lea Black told People magazine. 'Thank you for all your blessings,' the Real Housewives of Miami alum wrote on Instagram on Tuesday. 'We will be announcing details for a tribute and celebration in a few weeks.' Black first gained national attention in 1991 when he secured an acquittal for former President John F. Kennedy's nephew, William Kennedy Smith, in a high-profile rape trial – a watershed moment for criminal defense, as the proceedings were broadcast live on national television. The attorney went on to play a central role in Epstein's legal defense as the financier was investigated in 2006 for multiple sex crimes involving dozens of underage girls. Rather than face federal indictment, Black and Epstein's lawyers negotiated a non-prosecution agreement with federal prosecutors in 2007, which was finalized in 2008. Under the deal, Epstein pleaded guilty to state charges of soliciting prostitution and soliciting prostitution with a minor and received a 13-month jail sentence and was registered as a sex offender. Black had represented a string of high-profile clients ranging from pop star Justin Bieber to race car driver Helio Castroneves. Most of the time, he was on the winning side, as noted by the Associated Press in their reporting. His clientele and courtroom success made him a regular on the Today Show and Larry King Live. Prominent attorneys and Black's former colleagues have praised him for his exceptional legal skill and courtroom expertise. 'Roy Black was the greatest criminal lawyer of our generation, perhaps in American history, achieving acquittals over a span of 50 years in some of the most challenging and notorious cases of all time,' partner of three decades at Black Srebnick, Howard Srebnick, told the Miami Herald. Srebnick's colleague David O. Markus said that Black was the 'GOAT' – greatest of all time – among Miami's criminal attorneys. 'This one really hurts,' he wrote on his Southern District of Florida blog. 'He was 80. And he really was the GOAT of criminal defense lawyers. There are so many of us that want to be Roy in the courtroom – commanding, persuasive, funny. '

Trump rages over newly surfaced Epstein wedding photos and Victoria's Secret fashion show footage: Live
Newly uncovered photos and footage cast fresh light on Donald Trump 's past ties with Jeffrey Epstein. At least two black and White photos unearthed by CNN confirm for the first time that Epstein attended the president's December 1993 wedding to Marla Maples at the Plaza Hotel in New York. A third photograph taken two months earlier shows the pair together during the opening of the Harley-Davidson Cafe in New York. The outlet also broadcast footage from a 1999 Victoria's Secret runway event in New York, showing Trump, accompanied by Melania Trump, 'laughing and chatting' to Epstein. Both the photos and video predate any of Epstein's known legal issues. Asked about the photos in a call with CNN Tuesday, Trump said, 'You've got to be kidding me' before lashing out at the 'fake news' organization and hanging up. The report comes as the president attempted to brush off 'nonsense' claims surrounding the convicted sex offender's case and peddled a conspiracy theory that former President Barack Obama manufactured the Russia investigation into Trump's 2016 campaign. Trump rages over newly surfaced Epstein wedding photos Donald Trump has lashed out at CNN after they unearthed photos and footage of the president with Jeffrey Epstein in the 1990s.

James Liddell23 July 2025 10:04 Obama's office issues rare response to 'bizarre allegations' from Trump After President Donald Trump accused former President Barack Obama of treason, branding him the 'ringleader' of the Russia investigation, Obama's office issued a rare response, calling the 'bizarre allegations' both 'ridiculous and a weak attempt at distraction.' Obama spokesperson Patrick Rodenbush said: 'Out of respect for the office of the presidency, our office does not normally dignify the constant nonsense and misinformation flowing out of this White House with a response. But these claims are outrageous enough to merit one.' Rodenbush noted that multiple investigations, including a bipartisan examination by the Senate Intelligence Committee, confirmed Russia had meddled in the 2016 election. That committee was led by then Senator Marco Rubio, now Trump's Secretary of State. Here's the statement in full: Out of respect for the office of the presidency, our office does not normally dignify the constant nonsense and misinformation flowing out of this White House with a response. But these claims are outrageous enough to merit one. These bizarre allegations are ridiculous and a weak attempt at distraction. Nothing in the document issued last week undercuts the widely accepted conclusion that Russia worked to influence the 2016 presidential election but did not successfully manipulate any votes. These findings were affirmed in a 2020 report by the bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee, led by then-Chairman Marco Rubio.
