A jury found the bus driver of a Federal Way church daycare guilty of molesting a 6-year-old girl on his bus.

The jury found Oscar Raul Lopez, 57, guilty of first-degree child molestation on Friday at the Kent Regional Justice Center. Lopez faces a sentence range of 51-68 months, up to an indeterminate maximum of life in prison, according to Dan Donohoe, spokesman for the King County Prosecutor’s Office. His sentencing is set for April 3 before Judge Bruce Heller in Kent.

Lopez, a bus driver employed by Bethel Christian Church, was charged in June 2014 of molesting the girl when he was supposed to drive her from the church daycare to school.

The girl reported the abuse to her mother the day after she said it occurred. During a forensic interview with the girl, she told detectives Lopez “was being inappropriate.”

She told police that in late May she was in the back of the bus where she always sits, waiting to go to school. She told Lopez she was ready to go and he went to the back of the bus and sat down next to her and touched her, according to court documents.

The girl told Lopez to stop, which he did and then he told her he was sorry. The girl also told detectives that Lopez touched her inappropriately on five separate occasions while she was on the daycare bus and he “would tell her that she was beautiful,” the documents continue.

Church staff said Lopez lived at and attended their church for seven years and he was employed their for the past five years. During that time, he worked as a janitor, a daycare worker, groundskeeper and, for the past three years, a bus driver.
