Kiarra Jones, who is accused of abusing six special needs children while working as a bus aide for Littleton Public Schools, walked out of an Arapahoe County courtroom Friday afternoon a free woman, for now.
“I always think about it for six months, every day being a nightmare,” said a parent of one of her victims.
Flanked by their lawyer from Rathod Mohamedbhai, the parents of the children who were allegedly victimized by Jones were also in the courtroom and said seeing her brought up a flood of emotions.
“Blood boiling. Yeah. I, I did make eye contact with her and now I just wish that I hadn’t,” said Jessica McBride. Her son, Andrew, is one of the victims. “We’re very grateful about the additional charges that have been brought forward. It’s frustrating, agonizingly frustrating to know that we need to sit and wait.”
Jones has now been charged with 10 additional counts for a total of nine felony assault charges and two misdemeanor child abuse charges. Parents of the victims say they hope these new charges will bring accountability.
