Gonzalez dropped off all the other students, leaving the teen alone with him on the bus.
The report said he drove down an unknown street and suddenly stopped the school bus, turned it off and then grabbed the girl's arm and pulled her toward him.
Gonzalez tried to convince the girl to kiss him but she rejected him multiple times, so he grabbed her face and attempted to force a kiss, the report said.
