Trial Begins For Man Accused In Historic Youth Center Abuse

Michael Gilpatrick, a former youth detention center resident, fights back tears as testifies during a civil trial seeking to hold the state accountable for alleged abuse at the Sununu Youth Ser

A trial is set to begin for a man accused of participating in the abuse of a teenage boy at the Sununu Youth Services Center in New Hampshire during the 1990s. The accused, now 70 years old, is facing charges along with eight other men who worked at the center or an associated facility.

The allegations state that the accused and a colleague restrained the boy in a dormitory while other staff members subjected him to sexual abuse. The victim was approximately 13 years old at the time of the incident. The accused had previously been fired from a related facility over abuse allegations but was later rehired and transferred to the Manchester center.
