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.

If you have the time, searching the net for more info on the Franklin Scandal will help you decide whether there is any truth to it.

People in POWER have this problem. They get jaded. They can have anything they want, and it is never enough. They go for something 'forbidden' to give them their jollies. And it usually involves this particular forbidden crime.

To JUSTIFY believing that the Franklin Scandal is not true, one would have to believe that...

Stories of children being kept as sex slaves ALL OVER THE FREAKING PLANET are not true.

Stories of government employees using their work computers to view child porn are not true.

Stories of Hollywood elites having sex parties with children are not true.

(and finally) that there is no child porn on the internet, because no one goes for that stuff.
