SEATTLE -- A school bus driver who was convicted of assault for groping teens and women claims an excessive intake of caffeine drove him to the acts.

Kenneth Sands, 51, tried to explain himself at his sentencing on Tuesday.

Sands, a driver for the Rainier School District, has been convicted of molesting three high school volleyball players and two women during a volleyball game in Onalaska on Oct. 18.

According to the Lewis County sheriff's office, Sands was at the game as a spectator and was not the bus driver. During the game, he allegedly touched a 46-year-old woman's breasts three different times and later grabbed her butt as she was trying to get away from him.

After the game, he grabbed a 15-year-old girl's butt outside of the bus and slapped a 16-year-old girl's butt as she was getting onto the bus, according to the sheriff's office.

Once on the bus, Sands allegedly touched another player in an inappropriate manner before the bus driver kicked him out, according to the sheriff's office.

Sands said it was caffeine that had driven him to act out of character.

"That caused a psychotic episode," he told the court. "My son-in-law and daughter had never seen that kind of behavior from myself."

Sands' words did little to calm the angry mother of one of his victims. In court, the woman read a letter her daughter had written.

"Ken left me with nightmares that would leave me sleepless for nights, afraid to fall asleep. I've had dreams of him hurting me and my family in violent ways over and over again," the letter said.

Sands was sentenced to 30 days for each of the five counts of fourth-degree assault.

Do people take responsibility for their actions anymore? I think the sentencing was light.

He's lucky he wasn't charged with a sex crime. Nowadays, even taking a piss outdoors can label you for life as a sex offender!
 
Caffeine/lidocaine were actually a major constiturent of some "bath salt" blends. Funny how it's not mentioned though.
 
Caffeine is the ultimate date rape drug. Did you know that 87% of women have tested positive for caffeine after being raped? BAN CAFFEINE NOW.

NO drug should excuse sexual assault, much less caffeine.

Drug use shouldn't excuse one for accountability. Its not like you can say, "well officer, I was drunk when I got in that wreck so it was the alcohol's fault, not mine." or "shit professor, I got too fucked up last night on whatever drug and overslept, please let me retake whatever..."

I just think that a person is sober before they ingest a drug and at that point, they should know how that drug can affect them and therefore, they should be responsible if they mess up. Even so, caffeine? Fucking really dude?
 
It's just a matter of time slimvictor. You're a walking time bomb. Just stay away from the childrens for heavens sake.
