PORTSMOUTH — A school bus driver charged with two felonies alleging he propositioned a student for sex is allowed to keep his "school bus certificate" because, a state hearings examiner determined, the student’s credibility is questionable.
Obtained by the Herald through a Right To Know request, a report by Department of Safety hearings examiner (and attorney) Scott Woodman determined Quentin McKenney, 60, of 41-A Walnut St., Rochester, should be allowed to retain his certificate to drive a school bus.
McKenney was arrested in November on felony counts of endangering the welfare of a child and attempted felonious sexual assault, reports the Portsmouth Herald. Police allege he put a 13-year-old Portsmouth Middle School student in danger by "inducing her" to engage in "sexual penetration" when he asked her if she wanted to have sex with him.
McKenney’s case remains pending in Rockingham Superior Court. A representative of the First Student Bus Co., for which McKenney worked at the time of the alleged incident, declined to comment.
