Official narrative

Wikipedia's corresponding page is called the "Franklin child prostitution ring allegations", representing the official narrative that there is still controversy about their truth.

Testimony

Several victims testified to repeated sexual abuse. "When the Franklin case first came to light in 1988-90, numerous child victim-witnesses, including Paul Bonacci and Alisha Owen, testified to investigators for the Nebraska Senate’s Franklin committee, that a man named 'Rusty Nelson' was the private photographer of King, and that Nelson, at King’s direction, had taken thousands of pictures of incidents of sexual abuse. Chief Wadman, named by Owen as her primary abuser, “investigated” charges of pornography which had been lodged against Nelson, but Wadman found that Nelson was “involved in a legitimate business,” though Wadman had to acknowledge that Nelson was living in an apartment rented for him by King. Shortly thereafter, Nelson disappeared from Nebraska, until he showed up as a surprise witness in court on Feb. 5, 1999. Some years later after his disappearance, Nelson had been arrested by police in Portland, Oregon, on pornography charges."^[2]
