Corvino came to the attention of authorities following a lesson to students at the district’s high school on the dangers of the Web sites Facebook and MySpace when students approached a teacher and said they were concerned about inappropriate communications with Corvino.

Corvino was jailed in lieu of $100,000 bond.
