The Franklin child prostitution ring existed in the 1980s, and was carried out by the US deep state for purposes including fun, profit and especially sexual blackmail.

Official narrative

Wikipedia's corresponding page, as of 2019, was semi-protected, entitled "Franklin child prostitution ring allegations", and the one sentence lede concludes that " separate state and federal grand juries concluded that the allegations were unfounded and the ring was a “carefully crafted hoax”."^[1] The page history reveals a history of reversions taking place within 24 hours, sometimes within minutes. User MONGO appears to be a gatekeeper.^[2]

FOIA

In February 2017, Joseph Lloyd made a FOIA request for MuckRock about the "Franklin child prostitution ring allegations", but it initially returned no documents. As of November 2018, it was still under process.^[3]

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."^[4]

On June 21, 1991, 21-year-old Alisha Jahn Owen was pronounced guilty by a jury in Douglas County, Nebraska, on eight counts of felony perjury. On August 8, 1991, she was sentenced to serve nine to twenty-seven years in prison.^[5] This, despite a law giving immunity to those who name their abusers in sex abuse cases.

Gary Caradori interviews Troy Boner

Troy Boner testified to investigator Gary Caradori‎ of repeated rape and sexual abuse.^[7] Boner later recanted this testimony after his brother, Shawn Boner, was fatally shot in suspicious circumstances. Alisha Owen was convicted of perjury partly on his evidence in court. Boner later reported in a re-recantation in the film Conspiracy of Silence that he had been threatened by the FBI. He died of a suspected drug overdose in 2003.^[8]^[9]

Cover up

The sudden death of Gary Caradori‎ was the most dramatic element of the cover-up, which included other assassinations, blackmail of witnesses and the extraordinary sentence for perjury given to Alisha Owen. The cover up continues to this day with censorship of Wikipedia. Interest in the case has markedly increased after the Pizzagate allegations.
