Former school bus driver facing sex charges has trial date set

A former North East School Division bus driver relieved of his duties has had his court date set. 

The 55-year-old was charged last March with one count of sexual assault, one count of sexual interference with a person under 16 years of age, and a third count of sexual touching of a person who has a mental or physical disability that is in a relationship of dependency. 

At an appearance in Melfort Provincial Court on Monday, his trial date was set for July 7. 

A parent alerted northeastNOW to the incident after the division sent a letter saying a bus driver had been relieved of his duties. 

“We have been notified by the RCMP that a bus driver employed by the North East School Division has been arrested and charged with several offences unrelated to their duties with the school division,” the letter read.
