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.
The news comes a few days after Christina Formella, 30, appeared in court for a sexual abuse case involving one of her students
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.
