YORK, PA. — A speech pathologist in York is facing rape and child pornography charges. Leigh Marcini, 37, is being charged with rape, involuntary deviant sexual intercourse, and the production and distribution of child pornography.

She was released from York County Prison after posting $75,000 bail.

The charges stem from a joint investigation by HSI New York, HSI Harrisburg/York, Northern York Regional Police Department, and the Pennsylvania State Police Computer Crimes Unit.

The victim was a 2 year-old. According to court documents, Marcini took videos and images of her sexually abusing the child and sending them to a New York City Police officer, Sergeant Alberto Randazzo, with whom Marcini had an online and in-person relationship with between April and June of 2012. Investigators found out about Marcini while investigating Randazzo. According to the documents, Marcini admitted to the abuse of the child.

“The charges are part of an investigation into a larger conspiracy involving others who are allegedly committing similar crimes,” according to a news release issued this morning by State Police.

“This arrest is an example of hard work and cooperation between law enforcement agencies,” said Lieutenant Gregg Mrochko, Commander of the Investigate Services Section, Bureau of Criminal Investigation.

State Police and Homeland Security Investigations encourage anyone with information on the case to contact the Homeland Security Investigations tip line at 866-DHS-2-ICE.

Additionally, due to Marcini’s employment as a speech language pathologist working with children in the York area, any parent with concerns about their children interacting with Marcini can also contact the tip line.
