Waukesha County Sheriff’s officials say a 72-year-old pastor at a church in Waukesha and a school bus driver who recently retired has been arrested for first degree sexual assault of a child.

Peter Knebel of Waukesha has been charged with first degree sexual assault of a child – sexual contact with a person under the age of 13.

Sheriff’s officials say they were made aware of the assault — and during the investigation, the Knebel admitted to his involvement.

He also admitted to committing other violations against children in the past, officials say.


Knebel served as a pastor at Fox River Christian Church in Waukesha — and has been suspended as a result of this investigation.

He also worked as a school bus driver for the City of Waukesha School District from August 2009 through June 2015 (when he retired). School district officials say Knebel worked for their private bus company “First Student” most recently
