Judge rejects request to reduce bond in case against Boise school bus driver

29-year-old Kayden Peterson was arrested by the Ada County Sheriff's Office on April 7, following a warrant tied to allegations involving a minor. Peterson was charged with sexual abuse of a child under 16, two counts of lewd conduct with a minor under 16, and sexual battery of a minor aged 16 or 17.

Peterson was a contracted bus driver for the Boise School District. The district has reportedly notified Durham School Services, Peterson's direct employer, that he is no longer permitted to work under their contract.
