Hamilton teacher sentenced

A Hamilton teacher convicted of sexually assaulting a 14-year old student is awaiting his sentence.

In 2011, 53-year old Giuseppe (Joe) Graziano offered the student answers during an exam. Then, while they were talking in an empty classroom, Graziano sexually assaulted him. A judge found him guilty after witnesses and school officials supported the victim’s testimony. Graziano taught cosmetology and Spanish at Cathedral High School.
