WESTBROOK (WGME) -- A Westbrook man, who until his arrest Tuesday was a Scarborough schools bus driver, is facing charges for asking a minor to send a nude picture.
47-year-old Stephen Mitton is charged with Sexual Exploitation of a Minor and Unlawful Sexual Touching. Westbrook police arrested Mitton Tuesday at the police station.
He appeared in Cumberland County Court Wednesday afternoon where the judge set bail at $5,000.
Scarborough Superintendent George Entwhistle says as of Tuesday, Mitton is no longer an employee with the district. He says Mitton was properly vetted and received no complaints during his year driving for Scarborough schools.
Prosecutors say the victim is a 16-year-old girl they describe as Mitton's acquaintance. They say she is not one of the students who rode on Mitton's bus.
Few details about the allegations against Mitton are available right now.
We'll update this story as soon as more information becomes available.
