A former Catholic high school teacher who
befriended and then sexually abused a vulnerable student has been
sentenced to three years in prison.
Giuseppe (Joe) Graziano, 56, taught
religious studies and cosmetology at Cathedral High School, on Wentworth
Street North, at the time of the offences. "Mr. Graziano slowly worked his way into the
life (of the student) — more than one would expect of a teacher," said
Superior Court Justice Harrison Arrell in sentencing Graziano on
Thursday.
