A Denver bus aide pleaded guilty to assaulting three autistic students, sparking national concern over disabled students' safety on school buses.
Kiarra Jones, 30, a former school bus aide in suburban Denver, pleaded guilty to 10 felony counts of third-degree assault on an at-risk child and two misdemeanor counts of child abuse for physically assaulting three nonverbal autistic students in 2024.
The abuse was uncovered after a parent requested surveillance footage following unexplained injuries to her son, including bruises and a black eye.
Video evidence showed repeated incidents, leading to Jones’s arrest in April 2024 and her plea ahead of trial.
She faces up to 15 years in prison when sentenced on March 18.
The victims’ families, including the Vestals, are pursuing legal action against the school district and have expressed ongoing concerns about their children’s trauma.
The case has drawn national attention to the safety and oversight of students with disabilities on school transportation.
