Clear Facts
- Delaware police arrested bus driver Alvin Rohm, 62, on lewdness and patronizing a prostitute charges after reviewing bus footage.
- The incident was discovered by a school district employee who was examining unrelated bus video from January 6.
- Rohm was released on his own recognizance following his arrest; he worked for a contracted bus company, not the district itself.
Authorities claim a Delaware bus driver engaged in illegal behavior after footage allegedly showed him picking up a prostitute and performing sex acts on a school bus.
Dover Police stated, “The incident was discovered during a routine review of bus footage.”
The bus driver, Alvin Rohm, was not directly employed by the school district, but contracted through an outside service.
It remains unclear whether children were on the bus that day or the exact timing of the encounter.
This event follows other troubling bus driver conduct nationally, raising concerns about contracted personnel in student transportation.
In a previous case, Kenneth Alexander Thompson, Jr., a North Carolina school bus driver, was arrested and charged with statutory rape of a middle school student, according to WRAL.
Dover Police Department declined to comment on further details regarding the Rohm incident.
