Ex-School Janitor Pleads Guilty to Contaminating Food with Bodily Fluids and Child Porn Charges

A former school janitor has pleaded guilty to contaminating cafeteria food with bodily fluids and possessing child porn.

Giovanni Impellizzeri, who worked at the Upper Deerfield School District, filmed himself putting urine, feces, bleach, and his private parts into food and on utensils intended for students.

The incidents occurred in the fall of 2023, while Impellizzeri was employed at the school.

In an unrelated case, he also pleaded guilty to possessing child porn.

Impellizzeri faces up to eight years in prison and is scheduled for sentencing in March.
