SPOKANE — A former Spokane school bus driver has been sentenced to 60 years in prison for molesting three young boys and recording his exploits in hundreds of photos and videos.

The Spokesman-Review reports (http://bit.ly/2q6PTim ) that a federal judge sentenced Dan Streetman on Thursday.

For seven years before his 2015 arrest, Streetman drove a bus during the day delivering special-needs students for Spokane Public Schools. But in the privacy of his own home, he molested children.

Streetman previously pleaded guilty to three counts of producing child pornography. Two of the victims were family members who have different last names.

Investigators found no evidence that Streetman abused any students from his bus route.

U.S. District Court Judge Rosanna Malouf Peterson told Streetman at the sentencing hearing that his offences were “horrific.”
