Former Bus Driver Headed to Prison
CHARLESTON, S.C. -- A former school bus driver has been sentenced to five years in prison for accepting a $10 bribe to ignore two students as they sexually assaulted a 14-year-old girl, authorities said.
Lacey Jane Bolen, 26, of Goose Creek, pleaded guilty Wednesday to being an accessory after the fact to second-degree criminal sexual conduct with a minor, Assistant Prosecutor Kristi Harrington said.
Bolen's attorney did not immediately return a call seeking comment.
The bus was equipped with a 911 panic button to alert authorities to problems, but Bolen never triggered the device during the assault in January.
"At any point, she could have stopped this from happening to this young girl," Harrington said.
A student reported the incident to a school official the following day. The sex act had been caught on a school bus videotape and resulted in the arrests of Bolen and two 16-year-old Berkeley Alternative School students.
