One of the emails contained the message, “Voluptuous sexy AA female looking for dominant cpl – w4mw.”
Liriano also asked what the recipients were willing to do and not do, stating that both parties needed to be pleased.
The report also revealed that Liriano exchanged indecent photographs, with one email containing images of a woman’s vagina and buttocks.
Liriano, who is married, also sent bikini-clad photos of herself, saying, “Hello, my name is Mercedes, aka Mercy. Here are some pictures of me. Hope to hear from you soon.”
The emails reportedly started around the time Patricia Catania took over as interim acting principal of the school. In February 2019, Liriano claimed that Catania told her she wasn’t allowed to teach Black History.
Catania disputed this, saying she merely told Liriano that she needed to have an adequate lesson plan.
However, Liriano went on a loud tirade throughout the hallway and main office of the school, screaming words to the effect that she could not be told she could not teach Black History.
Catania wrote in a deposition submitted as part of dueling legal claims over the matter that she became the victim of a “smear” campaign by Liriano and others that led to her demotion.
Liriano’s lewd emails came to light in January 2021 as part of the lawsuit discovery process.
Liriano resigned in September 2021, and the SCI recommended that the DOE place a “problem code” in her file that could prevent her from further employment in city schools.
Liriano’s online resume says she is now teaching in Georgia. Her husband died suddenly in January 2022, and Liriano started a GoFundMe appeal, saying he had no life insurance.
Through her lawyer, Jeanne Mirer, Liriano denied the allegations in the report and said she was never contacted to defend herself.
The DOE did not respond to a question about what action it took on the SCI report, and Georgia school officials did not return requests for comment.
