PERV TEACH SHOCK
HS IGNORED RAP: SUIT
September 1, 2006 -- New York City allowed a pervert to teach and be alone with students at a Hell's Kitchen high school - even after an investigator found he had engaged in "sexual misconduct" and should be fired, court papers charge.
The HS for Environmental Studies ignored the report while Anthony Correnti - now incarcerated - carried on affairs with two 14-year-old girls, according to an explosive lawsuit filed by one of the victims.
The school eventually not only allowed Correnti to resign, but gave him a favorable reference.
The suit was filed two years ago and the papers sealed. The allegations became public yesterday when an appeals court ruled the city ignored court orders by withholding documents.
The Appellate Division said that, as a result of the city's inaction, the victim's case "is now no further along" than when she filed it in 2004.
The judges said that unless the city reimburses the victim $7,500 in legal fees in the next three months, they will rule in her favor. She's seeking undisclosed damages.
The victim, now 22, charges the city with negligence, claiming it performed inadequate background checks on Correnti before hiring him as a substitute in 1997, when he already had a history of pedophilia.
He soon "began engaging in pedophilic behavior with the students at the high school, and in 1998, began engaging in sexual relations with at least one minor student, videotaping the sex acts," the decision says.
The victim, identified in the papers only as "Anonymous," said Correnti pursued her "in and out of school in an attempt to have sex with her."
In February 1999, he "statutorily raped" her and another girl in his classroom and videotaped the crime, the ruling says. That month, Correnti was hired as a full-time music teacher.
Seven months later, the special schools investigator issued a report saying Correnti had "engaged in inappropriate sexual misconduct and should be fired."
The school ignored the report.
Correnti kept harassing Anonymous, and that fall got her to go to his home, where he forced her to watch his video of the attack. He took her and her classmate to a hotel, where he assaulted them.
The school let him resign soon after "and gave him a favorable reference without mentioning" the sexual-misconduct finding. He got a job at Seaford HS on Long Island, where he reportedly quit in 2000 after a teacher stumbled on an inappropriate computer chat he was having with a student.
Correnti was busted in 2001 after a parent found pornographic pictures he had sent a teenage girl.
A raid of his home turned up the videos and more than 10,000 kiddie-porn pics. He was later charged with having sex with five underage Long Island girls. He pleaded guilty on Long Island and in New York City, and is serving 22 to 66 years in prison.
