Bus driver arraigned on child porn charges

BRIDGEPORT — A contract school bus driver was arraigned Friday on child porn charges.

Police said 76-year-old Kenneth Stone had more than a dozen videos on his computer of girls engaged in sexual conduct.

Stone, of California Street, Stratford, is charged with first-degree illegal possession of child pornography.

He did not enter a plea at the court hearing and the case was continued to June 11. Stone is free on $250,000 bond.

Police said Stone worked for Durham School Services driving children back and forth from Hope Academy in Orange.

School officials could not be reached for comment.

Police said in February they received a call from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children that an online address from Stratford had downloaded child pornography. Police said they later traced the online address to Stone’s home.

When they later confronted him, police said Stone admitted he had been viewing child pornography four to five times a week on his computer.

Police said when they searched Stone’s computer, they determined that Stone had frequently visited websites from Greece that were fronts for child pornography. They said they found 12 explicit videos on his computer.
