Suffolk County Scandal: Police officer, teacher among four indicted in prostitution ring bust

A Suffolk County Police officer and a public school teacher were among four individuals indicted yesterday, charged with running a high-profile prostitution ring that spanned brothels in Holbrook and West Babylon.

The scandal has sent ripples through the community, casting a spotlight on the alleged involvement of trusted public servants in illicit activities.

George F. Trimigliozzi, an 18-year veteran of the Suffolk County Police Department, was accused of managing the Holbrook brothel alongside Steven Arey, a teacher employed by the Islip school district. Prosecutors claim that Trimigliozzi “collected proceeds” from the prostitutes and was responsible for coordinating their schedules.

The indictment also named Frank Saggio, alleged to be the ringleader, and his girlfriend Dana Ciardullo. Both face charges of enterprise corruption and promoting prostitution. According to court documents, Saggio managed the brothels from October 2019 until June of this year.

In a significant move, authorities seized $104,225 in cash from Saggio’s West Islip residence, a property valued at over $2 million. The court papers further reveal that Saggio has a history of felony convictions and is currently awaiting sentencing in a federal mail fraud case.

Adding an intriguing twist to the saga, Saggio is the author of a 2004 autobiography titled “Born to the Mob: The True-Life Story of the Only Man to Work for All Five of New York’s Mafia Families.”

In the book, he boasted of having “worked for each of New York’s big five [Mafia] families, refusing to pledge his allegiance to any single organization.”

The case has drawn significant attention due to the backgrounds of those involved, raising questions about the extent of the operation and the roles played by each participant. As the investigation unfolds, the community watches closely, awaiting further developments in a case that has already captured widespread interest and concern.
