In the video, bus driver David Lamb has the child move out of the view of the camera. Lamb then parks the bus containing only the alleged victim, kneels down in front of the child and appears touching the child.
Lamb, 49, is accused of exposing his penis to the girl, showing pornography to her and penetrating her vagina. Lamb allegedly admitted in an interview with San Luis Obispo County Sheriff deputies to exposing himself to the girl and accidentally showing her pornography, but he denied most of the allegations against him.
After the child’s guardians informed the school of the alleged abuse, a transportation manager said she reviewed the tapes and found no inappropriate behavior.
