HOWELL – A Howell man was charged with sexually assaulting a relative more than once, dating back at least 10 years, according to a criminal complaint.
Joseph “Joe” Prioli, 48, was arrested Dec. 30 and compelled to appear in court Jan. 3 for orally and digitally penetrating a victim who was over the age of 13 but under 16 “on various dates,” according to the complaint.
The alleged abuse stopped Jan. 1, 2007. The complaint did not state when the reported sexual assault began.
Prioli is charged with committing aggravated criminal sexual contact of a minor older than 13 but younger than 16, committing aggravated criminal sexual contact and endangering the welfare of a child.
Howell police did not respond to who was representing Prioli by press time.
Prioli was a teacher at Christian Brothers Academy, a private, all-boys school in Middletown, for around 15 years but resigned a year ago to pursue other work options, Brother Frank Byrne, Christian Brothers Academy President, told the Press Thursday.
