On October, 2017, DelTondo's place of work, Cyber Charter School, and several media publications, received anonymous emails that discloses information regarding a 2016 Aliquippa police report.
The email revealed that DelTondo was found with an underage male, 17 years of age, inside of a car around 2 a.m. at a parking lot of a hospital.
The email also reveals personal information about DelTondo, including arrest reports and her social security number.
According to the report, DelTondo and the 17-year-old were found in a parked car near the Aliquippa hospital around 2 a.m. in February 2016.
The police noted in their report that they found “the windows were steamed over and the engine was not running.”
DelTondo said she was talking to a former student who was upset, but the teen had never been registered at PA Cyber, where she worked.
DelTondo was engaged at the time, and she asked the police to not inform him as her would become upset.
She was never charged and therefore her name was never released.
Her school announced that she was being suspended and “removed from the classroom pending an investigation.”
She was suspended with pay.
