A 64-year-old former school bus driver pleaded guilty to child molestation Monday and is facing anywhere from probation to 15 years in prison.
If he's placed on probation, Harry Edward Wroten Jr. will be required to register as a sex offender.
Wroten was arrested in August 2007 after relatives of a 9-year-old girl called the Pima County Sheriff's Department because they suspected he was molesting the girl, and a subsequent investigation confirmed their suspicions.
Wroten was a family friend and a driver for the Altar Valley School District at the time of his arrest.
On Monday, Wroten admitted that he exposed himself to the girl and invited her to touch him.
He will be sentenced on June 24 by Judge Gus Aragón in Pima County Superior Court.
