Authorities say a complaint was first filed on June 9 by a School Resource Officer assigned to a BOCES facility in Chemung County, located near the Pennsylvania border. According to a statement released by the Chemung County Sheriff’s Office, investigators determined that Milazzo had sent explicit photographs of herself to the underage boy over a three-month period.

“A School Resource Officer received a complaint alleging Milazzo sent indecent material,” the sheriff’s office said in a press release. “The Criminal Division learned that over a three-month period, Milazzo had sent nude photographs of herself to a 14-year-old male.”

The investigation culminated in Milazzo being charged; however, she was not taken into custody. Police issued her a ticket to appear in Wellsburg Village Court at a later date.
