Albany police confirm that Phillip Calderon, who allegedly posed as a Binghamton University student since fall 2008, was charged with rape and a misdemeanor of providing alcohol to a minor.

In January 2008, Calderon entered a guilty plea to third-degree sexual abuse. He was initially charged with first-degree rape, a felony, after allegedly providing a male under the age of 21 with alcohol.

According to Albany police, Calderon engaged in oral and anal sex in October 2006 with the other male.

The victim claimed he was incapable of consent because he was intoxicated, and Calderon and was arrested five months later.

According to Jim Miller, a spokesman for the City of Albany police department, being charged with sexual abuse in the third degree would usually warrant registration into the sex offender database.

‘Once they become sex offenders under the state law, wherever they are living, they have to register with the State Department,’ Miller said. ‘Once there is a conviction, I don’t know if there was a loss of paperwork ‘ He should have been registered by the State Department, I believe.’

Calderon was escorted off the BU campus by Binghamton’s New York State University Police Wednesday, Sept. 29.

‘In the course of the investigation of the false documents, we discovered Calderon’s criminal history,’ said University spokeswoman Gail Glover. ‘We took the precaution of escorting him off campus the day he was arrested. We have also notified the student organizations with which he interacted to immediately notify University Police should he return.’

Although Calderon was not a student at BU, he did have a listed binghamton.edu e-mail address and has a B-number.

During his time allegedly posing as a student at BU, Calderon was involved with the Student Association where he was a student representative on the Student Assembly and a paid office assistant for executive board members. He also performed paid work as information technology for the SA.

Calderon also was director for Rainbow Pride Union from 2009 to 2010, and he held the position of Off Campus College Council president and sat on the Board of Directors for Off Campus College Transport.

According to Adam Shamah, SA vice president for finance, Calderon earned a total of $3,941 in allocated stipends during his three years of involvement with the SA.
