The Superintendent of the Monessen School District has been charged with indecent exposure. Washington County District Attorney Jason Walsh says 55-year-old Dr. Leanne Spazak of Charleroi and 61-year-old Robert Cappelli of Confluence were discovered in a pickup truck parked at the Nathan Goff Apartments in North Charleroi just after eleven o’clock on the night of May 22nd. Walsh says the pair were found in a state of undress and allegedly involved in a sex act. Both Spazak and Cappelli are facing charges of indecent exposure, open lewdness and public drunkenness. Spazak has been the superintendent of Monessen City School District since 2014. WJPA’s calls to Spazak’s attorney and the solicitor for the school district have not been returned. The School Board, however, did post a statement on the district’s website which read:
The Board of School Directors has been made aware of the charges filed against Dr. Leanne Spazak, and by all accounts known at this time, Dr. Spazak has not been charged with any offense involving her presence on school grounds or in connection with the performance of her duties as superintendent. Therefore, neither the Board of School Directors nor District Administration can comment on this matter at this time. Appropriate action to address this particular situation will be considered and taken as more information becomes available and this matter proceeds through the proper legal channels.
