Jeffrey Buskey Trial Unfolds | Charlotte News

A landmark trial has begun in New Hampshire, centering on Jeffrey Buskey, a former youth counselor accused of 21 counts of aggravated sexual assault against four teens at the now-shuttered Sununu Youth Services Center in the late 90s. The case, the first criminal trial stemming from a wave of over 1,100 lawsuits ignited by survivor David Meehan’s civil suit, reveals a chilling pattern: Buskey, once trusted as a father figure, allegedly exploited vulnerable boys. Meehan, who testified in a prior civil trial and later won a major settlement, now faces a stark contrast — Buskey denied abuse, calling their relationship “great,” even bringing up Meehan’s name unprompted despite forgetting basic facts. While some related cases ended in conviction or acquittal, the facility itself has been drastically downsized, with lawmakers moving to close it entirely and replace it with a smaller center — a symbol of reckoning for a system that failed these young victims.
