St. Pete School Bus Driver Accused of Having Sex with Teen

ST. PETERSBURG, FL — A 24-year-old St. Petersburg man faces criminal charges after Pinellas County deputies say he engaged in inappropriate relations with a teenage girl.

According to the agency, an investigation into Dondre M. Davis’ activities was kicked off on Friday, Oct. 28 when a student reported an incident to staff at a Lealman school. The 16-year-old girl told detectives she had engaged in sexual activity with her bus driver.

Detectives say the relationship between the two kicked off about a week before Davis’ arrest when he is accused of giving the teen his Facebook identification. The two reportedly began chatting on social media where “Davis flirted with the victim,” an email from the sheriff’s office said.

On the morning of Oct. 27, Davis is accused of driving the victim in the bus to an off-campus location where the inappropriate encounter occurred, the email said. Davis, deputies noted, admitted to the activity.

Davis was charged with one count of unlawful sexual activity with certain minors. He worked as a relief bus driver for Pinellas County Schools.
