Ex-Custodian Who Rubbed Genitals, Bodily Fluids On Cafeteria Food In NJ Gets Sentenced

UPPER DEERFIELD TOWNSHIP, NJ — A former school custodian who contaminated cafeteria food and utensils with bleach, bodily fluids and his private parts was sentenced to prison on Friday.

Giovanni Impellizzeri, 25, of Vineland, was sentenced to eight years behind bars. He must serve at least five before parole eligibility.

Impellizzeri was initially charged in fall 2023, when he was a custodian for Elizabeth Moore School in Upper Deerfield, Cumberland County. While working, he contaminated food and cafeteria utensils with saliva, urine, feces and bleach, according to the Cumberland County Prosecutor's Office.

Authorities say he also wiped his genitals and anus with slices of bread, spat on the bread and put it back in the container to be served to school children, and masturbated and urinated on pillows and kitchen bowls.

Impellizzeri recorded videos of these actions and showed them to an online chat group, prosecutors said.

After the initial charges, investigators also found that he had child pornography.

Impellizzeri pleaded guilty in January to official misconduct (second-degree) and possession of child sexual abuse material (third-degree).

As part of his sentence, he'll also be under parole supervision for life once he's out of prison.
