Overview
- Thomas Felser, 63, took the stand and denied assaulting children, telling jurors the clips show him checking a child’s leg for an accident and giving candy.
- Prosecutors say weeks of surveillance from his school bus show him touching four girls, including one who is 4, and they played those videos in court.
- A mother testified she used a GPS app to find a stopped bus, discovered her 6-year-old alone with Felser, drove her home, then called police.
- Police told the court that reviewing the bus footage led them to identify additional children they consider victims.
- Felser faces 11 felony counts, including first-degree sexual assault of a child, and a 14-person jury with two alternates has been seated after his employer, GO Riteway, suspended him following his arrest.
