Victor Malavet is the first criminal suspect to go to trial among the 11 charged with abusing children incarcerated in New Hampshire's now notorious youth detention system. Years of secrecy has surrounded the Sununu Youth Services Center cases, then called YDC, that left more than 1,400 victims seeking justice. Victor Malavet is accused of repeatedly sexually assaulting a 16-year-old girl held inside the Youth Detention Services Unit in Concord in 2001. Malavet faces seven counts of aggravated felonious sexual assault for raping the 16-year-old girl multiple times between April 28 and December 31 2001. YDC officials suspected at the time he had an inappropriate relationship with the girl. Fellow staffers reported an inappropriate relationship and YDC leadership placed Malavet under investigation. However, the alleged victim reportedly lied during the 2001 investigation to protect Malavet. Nothing came of the investigation but Malavet was transferred to the Youth Development Center (YDC) in Manchester to separate him from the alleged victim.
