A Wichita school bus driver charged with fondling a 6-year-old girl will go to trial on March 25th.

Seventy-three-year-old Billy J. Reynolds appeared in court this morning after agreeing to plead guilty to four counts of aggravated indecent liberties with a child.

Reynolds entered a plea of guilty but refused to admit to the crimes during the hearing. The judge rejected his plea and set a new trial date.

Prosecutors say Reynolds -- a 16-year Durham employee -- engaged in lewd touching of the girl in October, November, December and on Jan. 6, the day he was arrested. A preliminary hearing was set for Feb. 3.

Wichita schools spokeswoman Susan Arensman said the girl's parent reported the acts to the principal at the child's school. The principal called the Wichita-Sedgwick County Exploited and Missing Child Unit.
