An assistant professor at the State University of New York in Cortland has been arrested in central New York on rape and sexual abuse charges.
Daniel DePerno of Cortland is accused of victimizing a teenage girl on several occasions since she was 13. The 39-year-old DePerno was arrested Thursday on charges of second-degree and third-degree rape, sexual abuse and endangering the welfare of a child after a joint investigation by state troopers and SUNY Cortland police.
He was arraigned in the town of Cortlandville and ordered held on $250,000 cash bail.
A call to his lawyer wasn't immediately returned Friday. Police didn't say how old the girl is now.
SUNY Cortland is located between Syracuse and Binghamton. It was founded in 1848 and enrolls approximately 7,200 students.
Maybe he can get a job with Obama's safe schools czar.

He can talk to Roman Polanski and his legal team. I think they would have lots to talk about, regarding how to evade legal trouble for this sort of thing.
I think they should allow Professors to marry.
That's kind of like betting that the sun sets in the West.
SUNY Cortland: We make the gym teachers of tomorrow.
First we will have to ask the bright minds on The View if it was actually “rape” rape.
Yep, it’s popular for phys. ed. majors, but I am surprised it grew to 7200 students. The last time I looked it was about 4K.
Yep, let’s ask Whoopi Goldberg about “rape rape”. Yep, we’re supposed to be sympathetic to a Hollywood idiot/felon like Polanski, since he’s been restricted to living his exalted life in Europe. He’s never been able to return to ground zero of the Hollywood life, and hasn’t been able to be feted by the other Hollywood idiots at Oscar awards shows since he is subject to arrest and prosecution if he returns to America. We’re supposed to feel sorry for him after he does unspeakable things to a 13 year old girl.
Bang on target, thanks for posting!
The Perp.
I want to know, are the schools and universities doing enough to protect our young people from sexual perverts. This young girl should sue SUNY just like the alleged victim is suing the Boy Scouts. Her case should be filed right along with the case against the Boy Scouts, as a matter of fact.
Yes, not much on him, but I found him at the college web site:
DePerno, Daniel
Faculty, Sport Media & Technology Learning Center Director
Sport Management
The rest of it is just contact information. I’m unsure of that title. He’s the “Director”? Not a department chair?
Well “Sports Media & Technology Learning Center” doesn’t sound like an academic department, so its head wouldn’t be a department chair.
The boys are too busy being taught to be sexual perverts than protecting the girls from them.
If only he had been married and not made to lead a priestly celibate life! <sarcasm off........
Those farmer's daughters have always been an issue. When I was 18, the rule (enforced by the law) was "15 (years old) will get you 20 (years in prison)"
I don't think they enforce that anymore.
That's a great line! LOLOL
