A 25 year old driver this morning pleaded not guilty to screening a pornographic film in a school bus full of children.
Defence counsel Anglu Farrugia told a court that the driver, whose name cannot be published by court order to protect the children, did not know what was on the DVD, which the children had asked him to screen.
Dr Farrugia said there was no bad intention on the part of the driver .
The incident allegedly happened yesterday as the bus was being driven between Gudja, Ghaxaq and Sta Lucija. The children, all girls who attend St Monica School, Gzira, were aged between nine and 14.
The driver was granted bail on a personal guarantee of €5,000 and banned from approaching the school.
