David Meehan: 自1995年至1999年在YDC期间,遭受了至少四名工作人员长达数百次的强奸和殴打。其中Jeffrey Buskey利用其作为导师和指导者的身份,对David Meehan进行了长期的性侵犯。这段经历给他带来了长期的精神创伤,导致其一度想要自杀和报复。最终,他选择向妻子坦白并报警,揭开了YDC性侵丑闻。在随后的民事诉讼中,David Meehan坚持控诉YDC及新罕布什尔州政府的责任,并最终获得巨额赔偿。 Sergeant Kelly Healy: 作为一名曾在YDC工作过的前体育老师,Sergeant Kelly Healy亲身经历并举报过YDC工作人员对孩子的暴力行为。这使得她对David Meehan的报案尤为重视,并推动了对YDC的调查。 Ron Adams: 作为YDC的前主管,Ron Adams否认其纵容虐待行为,并声称对所有虐待指控都采取了行动。然而,他的证词与其他证据存在矛盾,包括证人证词和YDC内部的文化氛围。 Karen Lemoine: Karen Lemoine作为证人出庭作证,证实了YDC在90年代的恶劣环境和管理层的纵容。 Andy Perkins: Andy Perkins作为另一位YDC的受害者,他获得了和解基金的赔偿,但他认为这并不能代表正义。 Jason Moon (播音员): Jason Moon作为报道者,梳理了YDC性侵丑闻的来龙去脉,揭示了事件的规模、受害者的经历以及新罕布什尔州政府在事件中扮演的复杂角色。他强调了YDC的系统性问题,以及将儿童送入少年拘留所本身就增加了他们遭受虐待的风险。
