A bus driver was busted by police for allegedly sexually abusing a girl in Bay Shore.

Suffolk County Police accused Miguel Enrique Diaz, a Suffolk Transportation bus driver from Bay Shore Middle School and Brook Elementary School, of sexually abusing a girl, who is now 13-years-old, multiple times between May of 2022 and October of 2023.

While the alleged abuse took place months and years before, a community therapist reported the abuse to detectives in the Special Victims Section earlier this month.

Following an investigation by Special Victims Section detectives, Diaz, 47, of 20 Penataquit Ave., Bay Shore, was arrested at his home on March 13 at approximately 11:11 p.m.

Diaz was charged with one count of Course of Sexual Conduct Against a Child, 1st Degree, and two counts of Endangering the Welfare of a Child.

Detectives are asking anyone with information on this case, or who believes their child may be a victim of Diaz, to contact the Special Victims Section at 631.852.6531.
