An Okaloosa County school bus driver accused of spanking a 7-year-old girl’s bare buttocks on the bus was arrested Jan. 29 and charged with lewd and lascivious molestation.


Quote from the article:

It was not the first time Michael Jeffery Bowersock, 27, of Fort Walton Beach, has been accused of a similar act, according to Michael Foxworthy, chief human resources officer for the school district. “We could find absolutely no proof,” he said of another complaint last year. “We looked at cameras and everything.” The girl in the most recent incident told her mother that on more than one occasion when she was the last child on the bus, Bowersock stopped the bus before her stop, pulled down her pants and spanked her with his bare hand, according to his Sheriff’s Office arrest report. During an interview at the Children’s Advocacy Center on Friday, the child said that the incidents “were called spankings but were not forceful like the spankings she received from her parents when she got in trouble,” the report said. The incidents occurred between Oct. 22 and Jan. 28, the Sheriff’s Office report said.
