LAS VEGAS (AP) — A Las Vegas bus driver is now the 13th school district employee this school year to face charges of sexual abuse involving a student.

Clark County School District police said 24-year-old Dominique Joiner was arrested Monday on charges of sexual misconduct, kidnapping and child pornography.

Joiner is accused of having a relationship with a 17-year-old girl who was a student at Northwest Career and Technical Academy.

Officials said Joiner was hired as a bus driver for the fifth-largest school system in the country in October 2015 but is now suspended without pay.

Police said they acted on a tip from a parent and that they discovered the relationship was fueled by electronic communications and social media.

Police said Joiner is not available for media interviews.
