Oregon coast school bus driver arrested for allegedly luring a minor, police say

John Joseph Straining Jr., a 50-year-old former Susquenita School District bus driver, was arrested on May 11, 2025, in Pennsylvania for alleged sexual misconduct involving students on his bus.
Following reports from students about John Straining tickling boys and girls and inappropriately touching girls’ chests and thighs on the school bus over several months spanning late 2024 into early 2025, authorities launched an investigation supported by surveillance video evidence.
Straining was fired on April 14 by the Rohrer Bus Company in Duncannon, which is cooperating with police who are identifying potential victims and reinforcing student safety measures.
Straining faces multiple charges, including indecent assault, institutional sexual assault, child endangerment, and corruption of minors, with bail set at $200,000 and a hearing on May 20.
The arrest highlights concerns from the school district and bus company, which pledged to support students and improve safety protocols to prevent future incidents.
