Ray Buckey, the sole defendant remaining in the McMartin Pre-School molestation case, took the stand today and denied he ever sexually abused any children.
“Were you ever involved in any oral copulation with any children at the preschool?” defense attorney Danny Davis asked Buckey, 32.
“Never,” Buckey said, duplicating the testimony of his first trial.
Did Buckey ever fondle the genitals or chests of any children? Davis asked.
“No child, ever,” Buckey replied.
“Did you ever engage in sodomy with any children at the preschool?” Davis asked.
“No,” Buckey said.
Buckey also denied molesting any of the three girls who testified at the retrial that they were sexually abused by him.
