A janitor at a New Jersey elementary school is facing multiple charges, including endangering the welfare of a child. The defendant, Giovanni Impellizzari, 25, allegedly uploaded videos of himself performing obscene acts, including masturbating and urinating into cafeteria bowls and spitting out food that was later served to children at Elizabeth Moore School.
According to an affidavit, Impellizzari contaminated school food and utensils with saliva, urine and feces. The incriminating images were posted on Telegram, a social media platform, leading to his arrest on Tuesday after a user reported the disturbing content to the police.
The affidavit further details that Impellizzari performed sexual acts on school items and engaged in actions that put the welfare of students at risk. This included cleaning his private parts and anus with various school utensils and items. The video also shows him allegedly masturbating and urinating on pillows and kitchen bowls, and spraying bleach into a container of cucumbers which were then served to the children.
Authorities are still trying to figure out the chronology of these alleged acts. Impellizzari, who has worked at the school since 2019, is also charged with aggravated assault and tampering with food at the school located in Upper Deerfield Township.
The Cumberland County District Attorney’s Office is collecting bodily fluids from Impellizzari to determine if there are potential risks of infectious disease transmission to those who consumed food at the school. Parents are encouraged to contact their healthcare provider if they suspect their child has become ill as a result of this incident.
One parent, Cristencia Jenkins, expressed concern, saying some children have been unwell and have symptoms such as diarrhea and vomiting. He fears potential risks could include hepatitis or food poisoning. As the investigation continues, the community is left in shock and disbelief at the alleged actions of this school janitor.
