The little boy who claimed to be sexually molested by a student nearly twice his age while on a Buffalo school bus with no bus aide late last year was telling the truth all along, new video evidence shows.

While his claims had been dismissed based on initial reviews of footage from the bus camera, investigators have recovered additional video from the bus that captured the 6-year-old being sexually abused by the older student during the ride from their Catholic school on the West Side, the boy’s mother told The Buffalo News.

Three separate sources familiar with the investigation corroborated this new development in the case.

In fact, video showed the sexual abuse took place on the bus on more than one occasion, the mother said.

“He was sexually assaulted on that bus not one time, but five times,” the mother said.
