A retired New York middle school educator now stands accused of turning his quiet suburban residence into a hub for organized prostitution over a period of several years.
According to The Blaze, federal authorities allege that 66-year-old Eric Simpson ran paid prostitution parties out of his home on Canandaigua Road in Macedon, a small town of roughly 9,000 residents situated along the Erie Canal between Rochester and Syracuse. Investigators with the Western New York District of the U.S. Attorney's Office say emails obtained in the case show Simpson charging attendees for events held from 2021 through December 2025, suggesting a long-running operation that flourished in a residential neighborhood.
Prosecutors contend the property functioned as a commercial sex venue where multiple prostitutes met with paying clients, a scenario that raises serious questions about local oversight and community safety. The press release states that the home was used for "commercial sex transactions" and that "Simpson regularly promoted, managed, and carried on prostitution parties, arranging to have commercial sex workers present and available to perform commercial sex acts with himself and with those he invited to the parties."
Authorities further allege that Simpson did not limit his activities to scheduled parties but also "promoted, established, and carried on" individual meetings between prostitutes and clients at the residence even when he was not on the premises. Prosecutors say he was known by the nickname "Major Hands," a moniker that underscores the sordid nature of the accusations and the apparent familiarity of his clientele with his illicit enterprise.
Emails cited by prosecutors reportedly show Simpson marketing these events in detail, including the number of prostitutes expected to attend and, in some cases, identifying them by name. He allegedly instructed guests on where to park and how to handle payments, directing customers to negotiate "donations" to the "dancers," language that appears designed to disguise straightforward commercial sex transactions.
The case is particularly troubling given Simpsons recent employment in public schools, where parents reasonably expect strong moral standards and rigorous vetting of staff. A statement from the North Rose-Wolcott Central School District confirmed that Simpson worked there as a technology teacher from August 2024 until his resignation in January 2026 and emphasized, "As with all employees, Mr. Simpson was subject to a required background check and employment screening, including fingerprinting and a check of the New York State Sex Offender Registry, which came through with approval from the New York State Education Department."
District officials stressed that the allegations do not appear connected to his classroom duties, stating, "The charge against Mr. Simpson involves alleged conduct that occurred outside of his capacity as an employee of the District, and we have no reason to believe an investigation would involve his work with North Rose-Wolcott." They added, "However, the District will fully cooperate with law enforcement in their investigation if asked. The safety of our students, staff, and community is our top priority," a reassurance that nonetheless highlights how dependent parents are on government-run systems that can miss serious red flags.
The Gananda Central School District also reported that Simpson had been employed there, first as a substitute teacher from September 2020 to June 2022 and later as a middle school computer science teacher from September 2022 to August 2024. An online listing for the Macedon property notes that the home has six bedrooms, a detail that may help explain how such gatherings could be hosted without immediate detection in a town that prides itself on small-community values.
Simpson was released following his arraignment by U.S. Magistrate Judge Jeremiah J. McCarthy, under conditions that have not been publicly disclosed. As President Trumps second administration continues to emphasize law and order, the case underscores why many parents and taxpayers on the right are demanding stronger accountability in public education and tougher enforcement against those who exploit communities under the guise of respectability.
