Bus Driver Asks Judge to Toss Child Sex Evidence

The defense lawyer for a is asking a judge to throw out evidence found in the defendant's home, vehicle and computer because police allegedly didn't develop enough probable cause for the search warrants, according to the Union Leader.

John Allen Wright, 46, a Milton man who until recently had operated a Provider bus throughout the Seacoast area, is facing for allegedly recording his abuse of children he drove in New Hampshire and Maine.

State prosecutors have also levied against Wright, although Strafford County Attorney Tom Velardi has told Hampton-North Hampton Patch that the state will wait for a judgment or in the federal case before pursuing its charges.

Authorities have said Wright allegedly assaulted two boys in New Hampshire between Nov. 1, 2010, and April 30, 2011. Wright also allegedly assaulted a Maine boy between July 1, 2011, and July 31, 2011.

The Union Leader has reported that a judge has agreed to hear at a Sept. 11 hearing in U.S. District Court the defense's argument that the search of Wright's home — during which more than 15,000 explicit images and videos of young children, including pen and sunglass camera recordings allegedly shot by Wright, were found — was unlawful.

The paper reported federal prosecutors maintain that the file used by police to obtain their initial warrant "indisputably" came from Wright's home computer. Prosecutors wrote that the video file reviewed by state Judge Gerald Boyle was identified “as having been downloaded from, and traceable to,” a computer at Wright's residence, according to the Union Leader.
