Overview
- Police say the alleged indecent assaults happened on July 29 and July 30 on a bus carrying a 14-year-old special‑needs student to Bensalem High School’s extended school year program.
- According to an affidavit and footage reviewed by investigators, the aide directed the girl to a seat, touched her inner thigh, pulled her legs apart after she closed them, and used a cellphone to photograph or record the incidents.
- Ali Khan, 62, was arrested and charged with endangering the welfare of a child, corruption of minors, indecent assault and related offenses and was arraigned before being held at the Bucks County Correctional Facility after failing to post 10% of a $500,000 bail.
- The Bensalem Township School District removed Khan from duty, opened an internal review and is cooperating with police, who have asked anyone else who may have been victimized or witnessed the conduct to come forward.
- Khan’s preliminary hearing is scheduled for Aug. 11, 2026, and the probe could expand if more victims or witnesses step forward, with possible administrative changes to district oversight of bus aides as the case moves through court.
