School Bus Driver Arrested for Child Sex Crimes

A school bus driver in Chandler, Arizona could spend years behind bars if he is found guilty of attempting to seduce a teenage girl.

Officers in Arizona arrested the 54-year-old man after he struck up a conversation online with what he believed to be a 13-year-old girl. They had several conversations that were sexual in nature, and when they discussed seeing one another in-person, he agreed to meet. When he arrived at their meeting spot, however, he was met by local officers, not the young girl.

In fact, there never was a teenage girl, but rather an adult acting as a girl in an online chat room. The community was shocked to learn that one of their own school bus drivers was engaging in an illicit sexual relationship with a minor. He is now being held at the local jail on several federal charges of sex crimes with a minor.

Being charged with sex crimes involving a minor is serious as conviction can lead to not only jail time, but long-term sex offender registration. When facing child sex crime charges, you need to fight offenses by contacting the Knowles Law Firm to get help from a Phoenix criminal defense lawyer.
