A custodian at a North Texas middle school was arrested after attempting to solicit an underage girl during an online sex trafficking sting.
Jason James Giuliani, 47, was arrested Monday and charged with online solicitation of a minor, a felony.
According to a statement from Denton County Sheriff Tracy Murphree, Giuliani worked as a contract custodian at Curtis Middle School in the Allen Independent School District.
Giuliani was arrested at the school by the Denton County Sheriff’s Office Human Trafficking Unit.
Officers allege that during an undercover operation, Giuliani believed he was communicating online with a 15-year-old female about sex acts and sending her sexually explicit photographs.
Allen ISD spokeswoman J. Renee Cunningham told Texas Scorecard that Curtis Middle School families were notified about the arrest on Tuesday.
District officials stated that Giuliani had been assigned to the Curtis campus since July of 2024, but there was “no indication that this individual engaged in any inappropriate behavior with any Allen ISD student.”
All custodians in Allen ISD are employed by ABM, a third-party janitorial staffing company. All contracted employees are required to undergo a fingerprint-based criminal background check that identifies criminal history results through both the FBI and the Texas Department of Public Safety. The individual in question will never be allowed to return to work in any Allen ISD facility.
Giuliani was booked into the Denton County Jail on February 24 and is being held on a $200,000 bond.
In just the past few years, hundreds of Texas school employees have been charged with sex crimes involving children.
