Ex-bus driver gets 160 years for abusing disabled kids

A 46-year-old former New Hampshire school bus driver was sentenced Friday to 160 years in federal prison for sexually abusing special-needs children and recording some of the attacks.

John Wright, of Milton, N.H., was indicted in October 2011 and pleaded guilty last September to five counts of sexual exploitation of children and one count of possession of child pornography.

He worked for the Provider bus service in Strafford County, Rockingham County and Kittery, Maine, since 2008. Before than, he drove bus for the Milton schools for four years.

Wright was arrested in September 2011 during an undercover investigation of people trading child pornography on file-sharing networks. Authorities found several videos showing Wright sexually assaulting children who "suffered a variety of disabilities," some of whom were "completely non-verbal."

I don't feel the slightest desire nor can I recall a single second of my entire life of feeling even the slightest temptation to do something like that. Do people choose to have such desires or compulsions? If a person does have such desires or compulsions where do they turn to get help?
