Police: Former School Security Guard Charged With Criminal Sex Acts With a Minor

A former school security guard for the Longwood and William Floyd school districts was arrested early Tuesday morning on multiple charges involving criminal sex acts with a minor, police said.

Sean Corragio, 22, was arrested following a search warrant that was executed at his Shirley home at 12:30 a.m., police said.

Coraggio is charged with criminal sex acts with a minor, promoting sexual performance by a child, possession of a sexual performance by a child and acting in a manner injurious to a child less than 17 years old.

In addition to being previously employed as a security guard in the school districts, Coraggio also worked as a contractor for Stony Brook University, police said.

The William Floyd School District released the following statement Tuesday:

“Sean Coraggio was employed as a substitute security guard at the high school for 14 hours over a period of three days in September; during which time he was partnered with a veteran security guard for training purposes. All potential district employees, including security, are subjected to a thorough pre-employment screening, which includes fingerprinting, a criminal background investigation and a reference check. After failure to maintain the ongoing civil service requirements for the guard position, he was no longer called in for substitute employment.”

Coraggio was being held at the Fourth Precinct and is scheduled to be arraigned Tuesday at First District Court in Central Islip. The investigation is continuing and detectives are asking anyone who has information about Coraggio to contact the Fourth Squad at 631-854-8452.
