When he was released from prison, he was supposed to move to Boston, Massachusetts in order to attend school. He needed a place to live and the New Hampshire family agreed to take him in to give him a chance to begin a new life. When the family found out that Schillaci was allegedly assaulting their five-year-old son, they reported the matter to the police. This happened in October of 1999.
