A man who alleges he was beaten and raped as a teen at New Hampshire’s youth detention center says he both tried to take his own life and plotted to kill his abusers before speaking up. David Meehan lived at the Youth Development Center in the late 1990s, went to police in 2017 and sued the state three years later.

Meehan’s wife took him to a hospital, where he was referred to police. That sparked an unprecedented criminal investigation into the Manchester facility, now called the Sununu Youth Services Center.
Meehan has said that the escape plan occurred at a time when Buskey was raping him every day, while another staffer assaulted him roughly twice a week. The abuse became more violent when he began fighting back, Meehan said. And though he later was submissive, “It never became easier,” he said.
