Wow I remember reading about the Franklin scandal back in the 90’s. I remember one of the main people was named Larry King. I help but picture that it was the actual Larry King.

From Wikipedia:

The grand jury also suggested that the abuse stories originated from a vindictive employee terminated by Boys Town, the famed refuge for troubled youths.[4] Later, a federal grand jury concluded that the abuse allegations were unfounded and indicted 21-year-old Alisha Owen, an alleged victim, on eight counts of perjury. The same grand jury also indicted multiple officers of the credit union, including King, for crimes related to the embezzlement of funds from the credit union.[4][5] Alisha Owen served 4-1/2 years in prison.[6]

Historian Philip Jenkins explored how hot topics such as the Franklin allegations, whether or not they are worthy of attention or credible on their own merits, are seized by political opportunists for their own purposes. He also described how cases such as the Franklin allegations can acquire credibility, even if they lack any credibility inherently, when reported in various media in a credible voice.[1] Numerous conspiracy theories evolved and persist, claiming that the alleged abuse was part of a widespread series of crimes including devil worship, cannibalism, drug trafficking, CIA arms dealing and links with the first Bush Administration.


Is Wikipedia entirely reliable? No, but this rings true.

interesting and I am usually a news hound but I don't remember anything about the Franklin story....I probably didn't have a computer then let alone internet...

but it does go to show you how these perverts, IF true, get away with it....

and we wonder how Barney Frank got away with having a male prostitute as one of his aides.

I could believe it about George Sr....something very hinky about him from the get go...

the USA...home of homo presidents....
