Ex-Bus Driver Jailed for Kisses

A fired school bus driver has accepted a five-month jail sentence for misdemeanor harassment over accusations he kissed two passengers, both girls, on the mouth, one of them more than a dozen times, according to arkansasonline.com.

Court documents revealed that Leonard Brewster, 35, had put his hand over an 11-year-old elementary student’s eyes and the girl felt something on her lips. When he took his hand away, the other students on the bus were laughing at her and saying that he had kissed her.

Surveillance video from the bus confirmed the girl’s account, which the busing system director reviewed, along with other videos that showed “very disturbing” similar incidents between Brewster and another girl, an affidavit states.
