New Jersey Custodian Sentenced for Contaminating Children's Food

Giovanni Impellizzeri, a former school janitor in New Jersey, was sentenced to eight years in prison for contaminating food served to children with bodily fluids and bleach, as well as filming himself engaging in offensive acts with school utensils. After a series of disturbing videos were reported on the encrypted app Telegram, an investigation revealed he had mixed feces into taco meat and used a sponge meant for cleaning bathrooms on kitchen equipment. Impellizzeri, aged 27, pleaded guilty to charges of official misconduct and possession of child sexual abuse material, with the court emphasizing the severe breach of trust he committed within the school community. At his sentencing, families expressed deep concern and anxiety over the safety of their children, with some parents indicating they feel compelled to prepare meals at home to ensure safety. The judge remarked on the profound damage caused by Impellizzeri's actions, highlighting the ongoing mistrust it instills in the community. Impellizzeri must serve at least five years before being eligible for parole and will be under lifetime parole supervision.
