160 Years for Bus Driver Who Abused NH, Maine Kids




LACONIA, N.H. February 23, 2013 (AP)


A bus driver who admits sexually assaulting and videotaping the special
needs children he transported in New Hampshire and Maine has been
sentenced to 160 years in prison.

Forty-six-year-old Milton, N.H., resident John Wright received the
maximum sentence Friday after pleading guilty in September to five
counts of sexually exploiting children and one count of possessing child
pornography.

Investigators say Wright drove special needs children from Strafford and
Rockingham counties in New Hampshire and from nearby Kittery, Maine.
They say they found thousands of images of child pornography on his
computer.

U.S. Attorney John Kacavas say some of the children were completely
non-verbal and others had a variety of disabilities. He says it's beyond
his capacity to achieve justice for the young victims despite Wright's
long sentence.
