A South Carolina bus driver is headed to prison after pleading guilty to accepting a $10 bribe from 2 students who sexually assaulted another student on the bus as he looked the other way.
Lacey Jane Bolen, 26, of Goose Creek, South Carolina, pleaded guilty Wednesday to being an accessory after the fact to second-degree criminal sexual conduct with a minor.
The bus has a 911 emergency panic button installed on the panel of the dashboard,but the driver never pushed it or reported the incident. However, the entire episode was recorded by a camera that runs constantly on the bus.
"At any point, she could have stopped this from happening to this young girl," Assistant Prosecutor Kristi Harrington told the Associated Press.
Another student reported the assault the next day and the bus driver as well as the 2-students were arrested.
