A substitute teacher was charged for watching porn during class at a Warren school, according to a news release.
According to a prosecutors’ news release, It is alleged that on Tuesday, September 24, 2024, 62-year-old Francesco Iaquinta of Livonia was substitute teaching at the Academy of Warren for the first time. He allegedly watched the videos while in the classroom with children.
“He was also touching himself,” Prosecutors say.
Iaquinta was charged and given a $25,000 cash/surety bond.
“As a trusted educator, the defendant had a responsibility to provide a safe and focused learning environment for students. Instead, he violated that trust. This behavior is unacceptable, and we are committed to pursuing justice to ensure that such misconduct has no place in our schools,” said Macomb County Prosecutor Peter J. Lucido.
