A Pennsylvania school bus aide was arrested after he allegedly inappropriately touched a 14-year-old girl with special needs and appeared to take photographs and videos of her with his cellphone, according to police.
Ali Khan, 62, was charged with endangering the welfare of a child, corruption of minors, indecent assault and related offenses, the Bensalem Township Police Department said.
Khan was being held at the Bucks County Correctional Facility after failing to post 10% of his $500,000 bail.
The girl’s parents contacted police on Thursday, July 30, to report that their daughter had allegedly been inappropriately touched by a bus aide earlier that day, according to investigators.

Police said their investigation determined that Khan allegedly touched the Bensalem High School student multiple times on Wednesday, July 29, and Thursday, July 30, while she was riding a bus to the school’s extended school year program.
Investigators said surveillance footage from inside the bus showed Khan directing the girl to a specific seat before allegedly touching her inappropriately while securing her seatbelt and after she was seated.
Police said the footage also appeared to show Khan engaging in sexual conduct and using a cellphone to photograph or record the girl.
“Bensalem Police would like to commend the victim of this assault for having the courage to come forward and report the assault,” police said. “Additionally, Bensalem Police would like to thank the Bensalem School District for their assistance with this investigation. The safety and well-being of our students continues to be the top priority of both the Bensalem Township Police Department and the Bensalem School District.”
The Bensalem Township School District said the employee was immediately removed from service and from the district pending the outcome of criminal and administrative investigations.
“The safety and well-being of our students is our highest priority,” the district said in a statement. “Whenever concerns involving student safety are brought to our attention, we act immediately to protect students, support families, and cooperate fully with law enforcement. We are committed to conducting a thorough administrative review while respecting the integrity of the criminal investigation.”
