(Content Trigger Warning: Child Sexual Abuse Allegations.)
On May 12, 1983 Judy Johnson dropped off her 2 1/2 year old son, Billy, for his first day at the popular family owned and operated McMartin Preschool. Three month later, Judy Johnson (who was later diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia) would make a call to police to report that her son had been molested by not only her estranged husband, but also a staff member at the McMartin preschool, 25 year old Ray Buckey. At one point in the case, it was publicized the seven teachers at McMartin had committed 115 sexual crimes, which later expanded to 321 counts. This case would be one of the most expensive criminal trials in American history, lasting 7 years and costing $15 million…with no convictions. Did we mention this bizarre case was during the Satanic Panic era?
