Conn. school bus driver charged with sex assault

TORRINGTON, Conn. (AP) — A Torrington school bus driver has been charged with felony sexual assault for allegedly having a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old boy.

Thirty-nine-year-old Tina Scapin of Torrington was arraigned Monday in Bantam Superior Court. She posted $10,000 bail after her arrest earlier this month.

Police say no incidents involving Scapin and the teen occurred on a bus or when she was on the job for Torrington's school bus contractor, All-Star Transportation.

The company said Tuesday she was fired following her arrest. Police released few details because the criminal case has been sealed.

Scapin refused to comment Monday.

She's charged with second-degree sexual assault and is due back in court on March 26.
