Steven Raucci

Steven Raucci (born August 29, 1948) is an American convicted criminal.

Early life and career He supervised the Schenectady City School District custodians and was the local Civil Service Employees Association leader. In April 2008, a civil case was filed by Barbara Tidball, who alleged that the Schenectady City School district and the City of Schenectady, grounded upon alleged sexual harassment by Steven Raucci. Tidball asserted that the school district was liable because it knew of Raucci's conduct through her own reports to defendant's administration. The case was decided in 2014.

After matching DNA on an undetonated explosive to saliva on a fork Raucci used at a local diner, Raucci was arrested on February 20, 2009.

Legal proceedings Raucci was charged with 23 counts of criminal activity over the course of seventeen years and in three New York Counties. Schenectady County District Attorney Robert M. Carney was the prosecutor for the trial and Raucci was represented by defense attorney Ronald DeAngelus.

In 2013, the mid-level Appellate Division of the State Supreme Court ruled that Raucci qualifies for a $5,789 monthly pension, which his wife uses to "live comfortably." In the appeals proceeding, Raucci was represented by Alan Pierce and argued that his trial attorney, Ronald DeAngelus, was ineffective and his prison sentence is harsh and excessive.

In 2016, Raucci filed a case in federal court asking the court to review previous decision.

In 2017, John McNamara received the rights to make a television series about Raucci after he contacted Koenig, who had produced the NPR radio show.
