20-year-old Hugo Boss model Joshua Walter, who first made headlines at age 17 for his romantic involvement with 37-year-old teacher Gina Salamino, is back in the news today for his part in a string of robberies in New York City.
Walter and three others were arrested Thursday for a crime spree that began June 14 and included gas stations, 7-11 stores, bodegas, fruit and vegetable markets, and Dunkin’ Donuts.
Cops said the thug band would go armed to grab cash out of registers. Then, they would also rob everybody in the place.
Walter is accused of pistol-whipping one of the victims.
Also arrested were Lamont Adams, 33, and Willie Winston, 30, of Queens and James Young, 29, of Brooklyn. The four were charged with robbery and criminal possession of a firearm.
Walter, who has modeled in Milan, Paris and New York, lives with former second grade teacher Gina Salamino, who lost her job after it was discovered the two were involved in a sexual relationship. The couple has one child.
Walter told Department of Education investigators at the time “I’m tapping that ass and there’s nothing you can do about it.”
