Maine Bus Driver Sentenced to 9 Years for Cyberstalking 8-Year-Old

Former school bus driver Michael Chick has been sentenced to nine years in prison for cyberstalking and threatening an 8-year-old boy in New Hampshire. Chick, who targeted the child on his school bus route, used elaborate lies and threats to manipulate the child, even giving him cell phones and directing him to take inappropriate photographs. He also stalked the child and his family, placing GPS tracking devices on their vehicles and making surreptitious recordings. Chick's crimes caused unimaginable pain and fear for the survivor and his family, and his incarceration is hoped to provide some measure of justice.
