Armond Davis, 30, a former school-bus driver transporting students for Columbus Academy and Gahanna Christian Academy in Columbus, Ohio has pleaded guilty to gross sexual imposition for sexual contact with a 16-year-old female student.

Davis worked for First Student Inc., a private company that transports students, drove students to the two private schools. He was arrested in April on allegations that he took the girl to his apartment in the evening and had sex with her.

Reportedly Davis was seen by the girl’s parents when he brought her home about 2:30 a.m. April 11.

Although the girl was of the age of consent for sexual activity, any sexual activity between Davis and the girl would be illegal during the time he was in a position of authority over the girl.

Davis pleaded guilty to gross sexual imposition rather than go to trial on the more serious charge of sexual battery.

Sentencing is set for February 20th.
