EAST ROCKHILL â The family of a special needs student whose bus driver pleaded guilty to having committed sexual assault against her and another student has filed a lawsuit against Pennridge School District. The lawsuit seeks to hold Pennridge accountable for exposing the plaintiff and other students to easily avoidable abuse and mistreatment at the hands of James McIntyre, a bus driver hired to transport the victim from Pennridge to The Vanguard School, a school in Malvern, Pennsylvania that was better equipped to meet her special needs, a Jan. 14 release said.
McIntyre, now 79, of Hilltown, pleaded guilty in Montgomery County Court in 2016 to charges of institutional sexual assault, endangering the welfare of children and indecent exposure in connection with incidents that occurred between 2009 and 2015 while driving a van transporting the students, MediaNews Group archives show.
A former Pennridge student is suing the district after her school bus driver sexually abused her in 2015.
The lawsuit, filed in Montgomery County Court on Wednesday, alleges Pennridge School District failed to protect the 14-year-old girl with special needs from James McIntyre.
The victim s attorneys, Brian Kent, Stewart Ryan and Alexandria MacMaster, of Philadelphia-based Laffey, Bucci & Kent, announced the lawsuit in a news release Thursday.
