Delaware Bus Driver Charged After Video Shows Alleged Sex Acts on School Bus

Police say the contracted driver was identified through bus camera footage reviewed for an unrelated inquiry.

Overview

  • Dover police arrested 62-year-old Alvin Rohm on Jan. 12 after obtaining surveillance video of an alleged encounter that occurred on Jan. 6, and he was later released.
  • Rohm is charged with lewdness and with patronizing a prostitute within 1,000 feet of a school, residence, church or place.
  • Investigators say a school district employee discovered the footage while checking the bus video for a separate matter.
  • Police noted Rohm worked for a contracted bus service rather than the district, and it remains unclear whether he transported students that day.
  • The video allegedly shows Rohm picking up a woman and driving to Jerusalem Way in downtown Dover, a location reported to be near a Baptist church.
