Bus Driver Accused of Rape Is Released on Bail
From Times Staff Reports
An Orange County Transit Authority contract driver charged with sexually assaulting two disabled passengers on his bus has been released on bail, a sheriff’s spokesman said Wednesday.
Daniel Carlos Porras was freed Tuesday when family members posted $100,000 bail. He was charged last week with raping a mentally disabled woman and fondling a woman who has cerebral palsy.
Porras, 39, of Anaheim, was employed by Laidlaw Transit Services. He was fired in January, about a week after the alleged rape was reported.
