Victor Malavet was arrested April 22, 2021.
CONCORD, NH – Twenty years ago, Victor Malavet, 58, was transferred from the Youth Detention Center’s Youth Detention Services Unit in Concord to the main campus in Manchester because an investigation was underway concerning allegations of inappropriate behavior he was having with a detained teenage girl.
Malavet was never charged in that case, after the teen denied anything happened because she didn’t want him to get in trouble. However, that ended Wednesday when Malavet was arrested on seven counts of aggravated felonious sexual assault.
On Wednesday, authorities arrested four more former YDC counselors, including Malavet, on charges they sexually abused teens being detained by the state. That brings the number of former counselors facing criminal charges to 11. The investigation, headed by the New Hampshire Attorney General, is ongoing.
