At least 39 calls to escort services and sex chat lines were placed from Orchard Park School Superintendent Paul J. Grekalski's district-issued cell phone since September, according to district phone records.
The cell phone calls include 24 to phone numbers of escort services: five in West Seneca, 10 in Buffalo, three in Niagara Falls, two in Niagara Falls, Ont., two in Fredonia and two in Williamsville, according to records obtained by The Buffalo News. The other calls were placed to sex chat lines.
When questioned by The News, Grekalski said the calls were made while his son had the phone. His son said he had lent the phone to friends, who placed the calls.
The calls to sex chat lines showed up as either long-distance numbers or toll-free numbers on the bills. The calls did not incur any charges above the standard monthly rate. The numbers require callers to enter a credit card number.
Four video games also were purchased on the phone, including casino video poker, according to the phone bills. Grekalski reimbursed the district for those charges.
When contacted Monday about the calls, Grekalski initially said he knew nothing about them. In a later interview, he said he had talked to his son, who took responsibility.
