Pedophile Tracking Former Utah Bus Driver Gets 15 Years to Life

Former school bus driver John Carrell was sentenced 15 years to life on each of the 19 counts of sexual abuse of a child Tuesday.

Carrell, a 62 year-old former bus driver for the Canyons School District, was sentenced in a Third District courtroom in West Jordan by Judge Douglas Hogan.

On July 23, Carrell was found guilty on 19 of 33 criminal charges associated with sexually molesting two five year-old girls who were frequent passengers on the special-needs school bus he routinely drove to Altara Elementary School in Sandy.

Carrell molested the girls between March and April of 2014. During the criminal trial, prosecutors showed video evidence from a school bus security camera to support their claims.

The father of the victim testified that Carrell should be “punished within the fullest extent of the law.” While Carrell’s stepdaughter said the way he has been portrayed is “gross” and isn’t the man she knows.

While Carrell maintains his innocence, his defense team asked for leniency based on upstanding character prior to the convictions.

Each of the 19 charges he was convicted of carries a sentence of 15 years to life in prison. The judge said the sentences will run concurrently, not consecutively. According to the Salt Lake Tribune, a judge can reduce the bottom end of the term to six or 10 years.
