Former YDC counselor Stephen Murphy is facing eight counts of aggravated felonious sexual assault related to alleged incidents at the facility in the 1990s.

Alleged victim David Meehan testified Wednesday in Murphy's trial, recounting in detail the numerous times he says he was sexually assaulted as a teenager.

"He told me to get on my knees," Meehan said, describing one of the alleged incidents. "I tried to lunge at him. Try to picture it, a little kid just trying to fight for his life."
