David Meehan's case is the first of over 1,000 in an unprecedented criminal investigation into physical and sexual abuse at New Hampshire's state-run youth detention center.
It started with three words: 'They raped me.' David Meehan's disclosure to his wife seven years ago set into motion an unprecedented criminal investigation into New Hampshire's state-run youth detention center, which was built in the 1850s as a 'house of reformation.' It is now called the Sununu Youth Services Center, after former Gov. John H. Sununu, the father of the current governor.
On the criminal side, the statute of limitations for sexual assault involving children runs until the victim turns 40. Ten men have been charged with either sexually assaulting or acting as accomplices to the assault of more than a dozen teenagers at the Manchester detention center from 1994 to 2007, while an 11th man faces charges related to a pretrial facility in Concord. The first criminal trial had been scheduled to start this month, but a judge last week delayed it until August.
