SCHOOL BUS DRIVER BONKED BOY, 15 She wanted to help satisfy his curiosity

- By REX ROWLANDS

A SCHOOL bus driver found guilty of having sex with a 15-year-old student told police she was helping the boy satisfy his curiosity about sex.

Tracy Allanson, 44, told cops she “was trying to be a friend to him” and he was “having trouble at home” when she began the two year relationsh­ip while she was his bus driver at Chester Middle School, a court heard

On at least one occasion, Allanson and the teen went into a wood with a blanket where she performed oral sex on the boy and allowed him to fondle her genitals.

“He wanted to know what it felt like,” Allanson told investigat­ors, after initially denying any sexual contact.

She now faces up to five years in prison after pleading guilty to one felony count of taking indecent liberties with a minor while in a custodial role.

She is due to be sentenced on June 7.

The boy’s mother discovered the illicit relationsh­ip after finding fully clothed photos of Allanson on her son’s computer flash drive that was labelled ‘The love of my life.’

The mother also recovered three pairs of women’s panties that her son tried to hide.

Allanson met the boy in 2008 when he was in middle school and the two traded phone numbers and exchanged text messages.

After her husband discovered the texts, she switched to email, setting up an account under the boy’s name.

Infatuated

The boy, who can’t be named for legal reasons, initially denied the relationsh­ip when questioned by police, but later described their sexual encounter in the woods.

She told police in Chesterfie­ld, Virginia, that she wasn’t in love with the teen, now 17, but that he was infatuated with her.

Allanson was suspended from her job without pay immediatel­y after her arrest in October and now – following her guilty plea – school officials will seek to terminate her employment, a spokesman said.
