Pouty upstate New York education worker is busted for sending boy, 14, nude selfies
An education worker was arrested and hit with a slew of charges for allegedly sending a 14-year-old boy naked photographs of herself. 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.

22-year-old woman arrested after allegedly sending nude pictures of herself to 14-year-old
A 22-year-old woman sent nude images of herself to a 14-year-old boy, the Chemung County Sheriff's Office alleged in a Facebook post announcing her arrest. "The Chemung County Sheriff's Office announces the arrest of ANAMARIA E. MILAZZO, a 22-year-old female from the Town of Elmira, for Disseminating Indecent Material to Minors in the Second Degree, a class E Felony, and Endangering the Welfare of a Child, a Class A Misdemeanor," the June 16 post stated. "On June 9, 2025, a School Resource Officer assigned to the Greater Southern Tier BOCES received a complaint alleging MILAZZO sent indecent material to a minor," the post continued. "The Chemung County Sheriff's Office Criminal Investigations Division assisted with the investigation. During the investigation, the Criminal Division learned that over a three-month period, MILAZZO had sent nude photographs of herself to a 14-year-old male." Chemung County is located in the state of New York. Due to the Empire State's no-cash bail law, the woman was released and she "did not spend time in jail," WETM 18 News reported. "The Greater Southern Tier Board of Cooperative Educational Services provides educational leadership, services, and support to meet the needs of our students and school districts," according to the GST BOCES website. WETM 18 News reported that it reached out to BOCES and was told that the woman was previously employed there but had been fired. Fox News Digital reached out to GST BOCES for comment on Saturday morning but did not receive a response by the time of publication. "As a result of the investigation, MILAZZO was arrested for Disseminating Indecent Material to Minors in the Second Degree and Endangering the Welfare of a Child. MILAZZO was issued an appearance ticket to appear in the Wellsburg Village Court at a later date," the sheriff's office's Facebook post noted.
