UPDATE: LaBrae bus driver accused of inappropriately touching 11-year-old student
Editor's note: Charges against Kevin Bosak, a bus driver for the LaBrae Local School District, who was accused of inappropriately touching a student, were dismissed due to a lack of evidence on June 12.
A bus driver with the LaBrae local school district is accused of inappropriate sexual contact with an 11-year-old student.
According to a criminal complaint, 65-year-old Kevin Bosak is charged with one count of sexual imposition for alleged inappropriate sexual contact with the female victim on March 6.
A police report from Warren Township PD alleges that around 8:30 a.m. officers were approached by a bus driver with the LaBrae Local School District who told them that Bosak had inappropriately touched her daughter's buttocks in the bus garage.
Police spoke to the student who told officers that she was standing in the bus garage when "Mr. Kevin" hit her buttocks, hugged her and then immediately left.
The victim told officers Bosak's hand was on the student's buttocks for two to three seconds and that she was uncomfortable during the interaction.
Police then spoke with another bus driver who was in the garage at the time of the alleged incident who told officers he was filling out paperwork while talking with the student.
Police say the other bus driver looked away briefly to finish his paperwork and when he went to walk away, he noticed Bosak standing very close to the victim and as he continued to walk past them, he heard the student say "Oh, that's my butt."
The bus driver told police he did not actually see Bosak touch the victim and that he only heard what she had said to Bosak.
Bosak was arrested the day after the alleged incident and was released the same day. He appeared in court Friday where pled not guilty to the charge against him and is due back in court on March 22.
21 News has reached out the LaBrae Local School District, who told us Bosak is no longer employed by the district. When asked if any other students were involved, the district refused to comment.
