A Philadelphia-area school bus driver was arrested for allegedly assaulting two young girls on a bus several years ago, reported NBC 10.
The Berks County District Attorney’s Child Abuse Unit received a report from a 16-year-old girl accusing 79-year-old Arthur Fick of Reading, Pennsylvania, of inappropriately touching her. The teen told investigators Fick first indecently assaulted her on a school bus back in 2008 when she was a 5th grade student at Oley Elementary School.
The teen said the assaults happened more than once and her mother reported Fick to school authorities. Investigators say Fick, who was a bus driver employed by Quigley Bus Service at the time, was fired after the reported incident.
On February 11, 2016, detectives learned another victim reported a similar incident in January, 2001.
The woman told investigators Fick indecently assaulted her when she rode the school bus from the time she was in pre-kindergarten through 5th grade in the Oley School District. The girl’s mother also reported the incident to Oley School authorities.
