I mean to provide a reference from popular culture to a practice, i.e., parents pimping their children out to pedophiles, that an author, Mario Puzo, included in a fictional work drawn largely from real life events.
If that's the case,it will get stranger as the case evolves. Maybe Carr was peddling kiddie porn internationally and videos of the "event" allowed him to know much more about the scene than anyone else,thus shining the light of suspicion on him. If that's the truth than members of the "ring" will be throwing out so much disinformation heads will spin.
Evil people always count on short attention spans and an over abundance of conflicting info with a few giant lies thrown in the mix to quell pursuit.
