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 kid 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. Officials said Amaya works at Saint Luke's Roman Catholic Church in Brentwood and also as a bus driver for Educational Bus Inc. in West Babylon. Police charged the man 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.
