WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. – Former Rosarian Elementary School teacher Stephen Budd’s trial started Tuesday with pretrial motions.

A 21-year old woman testified about her abuse allegations involving Budd from nearly 15 years ago at a different school.

She said Budd touched her private areas in exchange for candy, but did not immediately report the incidents to police.

The judge will decide whether her testimony will be allowed during the trial.

Budd is accused of molesting two elementary school-age children at Rosarian Academy.
