‘Fire this Island pervert!’

‘Grope’ suit vs. boss

What was supposed to be a summer of fun turned into a nightmare of sexual harassment for two Fire Island workers who claim their boss hit on them and ordered them to promote live sex shows, a federal lawsuit charges.

Joseph Rapuano-Novella (inset), 22, and Dylan Pace, 22, allege Outpost Pines manager Mario Priola was “relentless” in his sexual overtures.

“I romanticized the concept of living on an Island paradise for the summer,” aspiring screenwriter Rapuano-Novella told The Post. “That’s not what I got.”

He and Pace interviewed in March 2016 for jobs at “The Pines,” an enclave of bars and restaurants which cater primarily to the LGBTQ community, according to their Brooklyn federal court filing.

Rapuano-Novella was “hired on the spot” via Skype during a bizarre interview in which Priola asked him to take off his shirt, the suit says. Pace, a Long Island resident, was asked to report to Priola’s hot tub on the island, the suit alleges.

Before Rapuano-Novella even got to Fire Island, Priola, who was twice his age, allegedly sent him “inappropriate texts,” noting in one that “you’re perfect” and asking for explicit photos, the suit says.

Rapuano-Novella charges in the suit that Priola repeatedly asked him to sleep over and “groped his penis.”

Paul Liggieri, the attorney representing Rapuano-Novella and Pace, said: “The defendants were pulling a ‘Weinstein’ on Fire Island and now I wonder how many more young men will come forward to say #metoo.”

The suit names owner PJ McAteer and Priola as defendants. Their attorney, A.G. Chancellor III, declined to comment.
