More victims of sex abuse
The most under-rated item in yesterday's newspaper didn't even make it to the online edition. James E. Wiley, 60, was arrested and charged with one count of a third-degree criminal sex act, a class-E felony. He lives at 151 Jefferson Street, the same address as Douglas Conrad, a bus driver employed by the Saratoga Springs City School District. Both were arrested following an investigation by the Child Aid division of the Saratoga Springs PD.
The connection between the two is deeper than their address. Wiley is related to Julia Wiley, Conrad's aunt, who operated a Mechanicville day care center where Conrad molested a then-six year old boy in 2002.
And we're not talking about a little ass-touching here. John A. Aretkis, a lawyer representing that boy's family, said that Conrad would take the boy into a closed room and allow him to play with toys like a computer and Game Boy only if the boy touched his penis.The abuse was enough to warrant a ruling from Child Protective Services, which ordered Conrad out of the home. A Family Court judge also issued an order of protection to keep Conrad away from that victim.
Despite all of that Conrad, was still able to get a job with the Saratoga Springs School District as a bus driver in 2004.
"I've been up at night worrying about how many kids this guy came into contact with," said Aretakis.
Look for further updates on this story in the newspaper this week.

It makes you wonder what or who created such a monster. Was he abused as a child? Are people just born that way? I have such a hard time even trying to comprehend how an adult can take advantage of a child.
