PROVO — A 25-year-old former school-bus driver charged with sexually abusing a 13-year-old passenger pleaded guilty Wednesday to amended charges.

Christian Bair, 25, agreed to plead guilty to two counts of sex abuse of a child, second-degree felonies, if prosecutors would drop a charge of child kidnapping.

Bair was accused of returning to a girl's house after taking her home from school on the bus in November.

The two began kissing, and Bair fondled her , according to the police report filed in 4th District Court.

Bair will be sentenced June 14 at 9 a.m.

"Gratefully, you're not a bus driver anymore," Fourth District Judge Lynn Davis said Wednesday when asking Bair about his current job, which involves working on construction sites.
