Jeffrey Buskey’s Trial and the Sununu Scandal | Charlotte News

A sixty-year-old staffer, Jeffrey Buskey, faces twenty-one charges of aggravated sexual assault after testifying that he abused a fourteen-year-old boy at the now-infamous Sununu Youth Services Center in 1995. The trial collapsed into a mistrial when the judge ruled key testimony should not have been heard — and couldn’t be filtered out for the jury. This case is just one thread in a massive abuse scandal that erupted after Buskey’s 2019 arrest, sparking nine more arrests, a victims’ compensation fund, and over a thousand lawsuits spanning six decades. Meehan’s lawsuit was the first to go to trial — and now, with the state weighing a potential retrial, the full scope of systemic failure at this facility is finally coming into focus.
