JACKSON, Miss. (AP) - A 70-year-old former Clinton School District bus driver now faces charges that he fondled three girls.
The Clarion-Ledger reports (http://on.thec-l.com/sCs2vx) that Shepard Ray Havens of Bolton initially faced charges involving one girl, but Hinds County Sheriff's Department officials say two other girls have come forward with allegations against Havens.
He is scheduled to be arraigned in Hinds County Circuit Court Wednesday on six counts of gratification of lust and one count of sexual battery. Each count carries a maximum 15 years in prison upon conviction. Havens faces a maximum of 20 years to life on the sexual battery charge.
Havens is out of jail on a $100,000 bond. It will be up to Circuit Judge Winston Kidd whether to allow Havens to remain free on the bond.
