Joseph A. Buttafuoco (/ˈbʌtəfjuːkɔː/; butə-FEW-kaw; born March 11, 1956) is an American auto body shop owner. In 1992, Buttafuoco was convicted for his statutory rape of a minor, 17-year-old Amy Fisher, after Fisher shot his wife, Mary Jo Buttafuoco, in the face. Tabloid news coverage, which was extensive and made Fisher and Buttafuoco famous nationwide, labelled Fisher the "Long Island Lolita".
Buttafuoco later pled guilty to one count of statutory rape and served four months in jail.
