MADISON, Wis. (WFRV) – A former middle school teacher in Wisconsin was sentenced on Thursday to 14 years in prison for child pornography possession stemming from an October 2022 complaint.
Timothy M. O’Shea, the United States Attorney for the Western District of Wisconsin, announced that 37-year-old Matthew Quaglieri, formerly of Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, pled guilty to the charges on January 13, and will follow his 14-year prison term with 25 years of supervised release.
The sentence stems from a complaint in October 2022, when police responded to a Sun Prairie middle school on a report alleging that Quaglieri recorded students while using bathroom urinals. Agents found videos of at least 39 minors on Quaglieri’s iPad, using the urinals.
He admitted to officials that he was recording boys in the bathroom for about four to five years, conduct that U.S. District Judge William M. Conley called “predatory, abhorrent and an extreme violation of his position at the school.”
Judge Conley also said at sentencing that Quaglieri seemed to have no understanding of the actions he was convicted of.
No additional details were provided.
