Why that Sick Pervert!

Man Indicted in Library Toe-Sucking

A grand jury indicted Joseph Colella, 28, for felony gross sexual imposition after he allegedly kissed a woman’s foot and sucked her toe at the Boardman branch of the Public Library of Youngstown and Mahoning County, Ohio.
The woman said she was in a study room at the library July 11 when Colella entered and closed the door, according to the July 25 Youngstown Vindicator. She said Colella told her he needed to kiss people’s feet and record their reactions for a sociology project. She refused, but eventually allowed him to because he kept insisting and she didn’t think he would leave unless she agreed. She went home and later called the library; a staffer told her to call the police.

Detective Michelle DiMartino told the paper that Colella is also a suspect in a similar event at the library from 2000. If convicted, Colella could be imprisoned for six to 18 months and fined up to $5,000.
