I went to a similar church camp in CA, back in 1981 & 82 with Ray Buckey. The McMartin family went to the same church I went to with my family, the pastor even testified in Ray's trial that they only ever talked about his drinking problem during their weekly appointments, never about Ray's sexual preferences. The pastor perjured himself under oath, covering for Buckey. I, too, was in counseling with "Dr. Richelieu" for emotional problems due to being sexually abused.
"Dr. Richelieu" denied that i was being drugged, raped and photographed by my step-dad who was friends and socially connected to the McMartin family. He told me I was either dreaming or having nightmares. My mom believed him. There was a huge ring in the beach cities of CA during the 80's, but they all got away. People will tell you that the McMartin case was a hoax, just like Hampstead and the DC scandal. I know it wasn't. It was a cover up. Don't let it happen again.

ListenUp, thank you for sharing. Have you written down/recorded your testimony, and have you been in touch with other survivors? I really think we need to start collecting/archiving all survivor testimonies.
