He allegedly posted at least 15,000 students' names and identification numbers to the site 1Apps.com and the school district and community forum site Sachemunspun.com, according to a Newsday report.

The names included those of several students who graduated as long ago as the early 2000s, the newspaper reported.

The illegal use of personal information was first noticed in August, at which point the school district contacted police.

Calicchio was charged with felony computer trespass, and was set to be arraigned in Suffolk County First District Court in Central Islip on Saturday, the newspaper reported.
