A former Milton Academy teacher was sentenced Friday after he pleaded guilty to child rape charges. One of Rey Buono's victims told NECN he would have liked to seen a harsher punishment for his former teacher.
“When we first started the process, Rey Buono was living in Southeast Asia, so I thought it was highly unlikely that in fact he’d ever be brought back to the U.S.,” Forbes recalled.
Prosecutors got Buono back to the U.S. but then hit a major roadblock after a judge tossed the indictments. The state supreme court, however, eventually allowed prosecutors to charge Buono with two counts of rape of a child with force. And that all led to Friday's plea deal. “I certainly would have preferred if he served time, but that was not where things ended up and there are still some pretty significant consequences for him,” Forbes said.Forbes was just 14 years old when Buono sexually assaulted him on a school trip to Italy in the early 1980s. In all, 18 students accused Buono of sexual abuse. Still, Forbes says Buono nearly got away with it all.
“I feel just grateful that that all came to an end without him walking away free, which was a possibility as well,” Forbes said.Milton Academy is a prestigious preparatory boarding and day school in Milton, Massachusetts.
