Six men are facing criminal charges for allegedly sexually abusing minors at the state’s youth detention facility between 1994 and 2005.
The charges were announced Wednesday by the New Hampshire Attorney General’s office, and are part of an ongoing investigation in decades of alleged abuse at what is now called the Sununu Youth Services Center, in Manchester.
The defendants, who range in age from 51 to 79 years old, have not yet entered a plea. They are expected to be arraigned on Thursday.
Two of the men--Jeffrey Buskey of Quincy, Mass., and Steven Murphy of Danvers, Mass.--were arrested in 2019 on similar allegations of sexually assaulting minors while employed at the facility. Prosecutors dropped those charges last year as the state sought to broaden its investigation.
