Wisconsin Mom Finds 6-Year-Old Alone with Driver on Stopped Bus, Prosecutors Say Man Targeted Girls as Young as 4
Prosecutors say video evidence and testimony from parents will show Felser preyed on preschool and kindergarten-age girls on his route.
- On Monday, the trial began for former Pewaukee bus driver Thomas Felser, 63, who faces 11 felony charges, including first-degree sexual assault of a child.
- The investigation began after a mother tracked her 6-year-old daughter's bus app and discovered the child alone on a stopped vehicle with Felser.
- Waukesha County Assistant District Attorney Vivien Morris argued Felser "preyed upon" students instead of ensuring their safety, while prosecutors claim surveillance video shows him touching multiple girls as young as 4.
- Defense attorney Craig Powell countered that the videos are "most of them ambiguous, or just flat out not showing what the police believe they show."
- GO Riteway suspended Felser immediately following his arrest, ending his 37-year career as a district teacher; the trial is expected to conclude this Friday.
