Suffolk County police arrested a North Bay Shore man accused of sexually abusing a pair of kids multiple times spanning nearly two decades. Officers took Bernardo Amaya, 75, into custody at his home around 5 p.m. Tuesday.

Investigators accused him of inappropriately touching an 8-year-old girl in August. As part of the investigation, Suffolk County police Special Victims Section detectives also said Amaya inappropriately touched a child in May and June of 2007 when the child was only four-years-old. Police said Amaya came in contact with the victims at his North Bay Shore home at 1753 Pine Grove Blvd., where a family member was a childcare worker.

Amaya worked as a bus driver for Educational Bus Inc. in West Babylon.

Educational Bus Transportation spokesperson Lloyd Singer told News 12 in a statement: "Educational Bus Transportation takes this matter very seriously. We are currently reviewing the situation and will cooperate fully with law enforcement. The driver in question has been removed from service pending the outcome of the investigation. The safety of the students and communities we serve remains our top priority.”

Police said Amaya also works at Saint Luke's Roman Catholic Church in Brentwood. News 12 reached out to the church for comment this morning, but has not yet heard back. Police charged Amaya with two counts of 1st degree sexual abuse and three counts of endangering the welfare of a child. He's scheduled to be arraigned at First District Court in Central Islip today.

Detectives are asking anyone who believes they could have been a victim of Amaya to contact the Special Victims Section at 631-852-6184.
