A Suffolk County police officer and a former Islip High School teacher are among four people charged with promoting prostitution in the county. District Attorney Ray Tierney held a news conference Tuesday outlining the charges against George Trimigliozzi, Steven Arey, Frank Saggio, and Dana Ciardullo.
Tierney said Suffolk County Police Officer George Trimigliozzi, Islip High School teacher Steven Arey, Frank Saggio and Dana Ciardullo, all allegedly participated in a criminal enterprise that promoted prostitution in Suffolk County .
Trimigliozzi, who Tierney said was with the Suffolk Police Department for 18 years, and Arey, a physical education teacher who worked for the Islip School District for 26 years helped to "manage" a prostitution business for Saggio out of a now shuttered strip mall on Sunrise Highway in Holbrook. Tierney said the alleged criminal enterprise all came to light in March 2021, when one of the sex workers called Trimigliozzi and told him a customer had been robbed.
"Trimigliozzi allegedly abandoned his post without notifying the Suffolk County Police Department and sped at speeds of almost 90 mph to the prostitution business. So he traveled 6 miles outside his precinct, into the adjoining 5th Precinct area, without permission and he never obviously documented these actions," he said.
