It is the story of an evil at the heart of America Of a cover-up at the highest level One man is attempting to uncover the full story John DeCamp is among the most highly decorated Vietnam veterans a former Republican state senator in Lincoln, Nebraska He is now a lawyer fighting the legacy of Lawrence King's evil network It's a web of intrigue that starts in our holy of holies Boys town Nebraska one of the most respected institutions in the United States and Spreads out like a spider web to Washington DC right up to the steps of the Nations capital the steps of the White House involves of a Most respected and powerful and richest businessman in this United States of America and the centerpiece of the entire web is the use of children For sex and drug dealing and drug careers The compromising of politicians the compromising of business men, but worst of all the corruption of key institutions of government That have the duty and responsibility to make sure these things never happen World-famed boy town is in the news again Made famous by an Oscar-winning film Boys Town Nebraska is America's favorite children's charity It was founded in 1917 by father Edward Flanagan Boys town was started to uh the home for orphans of the world world one and since then society has changed and the problems of the boys have changed and so now It's a question of taking care of homeless abandoned neglected abused boys and algorithms also With cash reserves of five hundred million dollars Boys town is the richest square mile in the world It has been granted the privileges of an incorporated town a Catholic diocese at a school district for five hundred boys and girls One third of its annual income is raised from public donations Solicited by begging letters and promotional videos I follow Valpina caretaker up father Flanagan's dream An executive director of Boys Town Does Boys Town really exist people to ask me? You bet it does Located in the heartland of America Boys Town youth have come from many backgrounds and low counts As they graduate they shall seek new adventures and head for different places But always they shall carry with them the spirit of Boys Town If you'd like to help Boys Town send your tax deductible gift To father Val Peter Boys Town Nebraska 680-10 Boys Town for me was the first thing I ever heard of when you think of institutions that you respect Believe it or not I was there for a while when I was a young boy probably worldwide There's no institution other than Boys Town That has done so much good for so many children Over such a long period of time so successfully When an institution like that gets contaminated purposes of abusing children Instead of protecting children Then you'd better if you got any decency at all Do something about it or at least get it cleared up John DeCamp lays the blame for the contamination of Boys Town On the one-time leader of the National Black Republican Council Nari King Nari King was the fastest rising black star in the entire Republican Party of the United States during all of the 1980s And he was also one of the most evil individuals in this country in terms of being a dealer of children in terms of being a thief 40 million that they documented he stole And in terms of using and compromising and corrupting one after another politicians The base for his network was a small people's bank in Omaha, Nebraska The Franklin Federal Credit Union Larry King was its general manager Thank you This is especially an exciting day for me Mr. King was a very charismatic person When he came to the Credit Union he was brought in because the Credit Union was actually failing He did everything to build the Credit Union King King courted the leaders of Omaha's wealthy business district Banks, industry and charities placed millions of dollars in King's hands From 1979 Larry King developed close commercial ties to Boys Town And Boys Town youngsters were sent to work for his companies Boys Town Had quite a few accounts at Franklin Credit Union Those were considered very valuable accounts They were handled exclusively by the bookkeeping department But on the average of once a month or Once every two months we always seem to incorporate a person from Boys Town King used Boys Town as a source of young boys for his business And for sex and drug orgies Paul Bonassi was a victim of King's abuse He was also sent by King to lure Boys Town youngsters off campus We used to just drive around and go up to what a home As someone used to be some of the uh Scar underhounds with picking up some of the kids You know just kind of when their confidence become friends for a while Starting to guide them to the parties The kids were 10 years older over In 1986 King's plundering of Boys Town was reported by staff to the chief executive Father Valpita Subsequent testimony proves that he carried out his own investigation But that King's victims refused to talk And Nebraska has a very clear statute that child abuse allegations should be reported to authorities They shouldn't be reported to the principal of the school director of a facility They should be reported directly to either child protective services or law enforcement An internal investigation At Boys Town will have no status. I mean in other words that evidence collected maybe something that could augment But it certainly could not take the place of an investigation of criminal investigation Could you understand why a very detailed report from a social worker employed at Boys Town Identifying children and identifying their alleged abusers Never saw the life of day. Nothing happened with that No, I couldn't understand that because I know that had been I wouldn't put up with that but Is that something like that happened? I don't know Well in retrospect I regret having any association with Very King Had I known it at the time? It would never have happened I Despite the investigation Larry King remained free to feed his pedophilic parties with child victims Then 1988 a routine review brought the Boys Town cases to the attention of Nebraska's state foster care review board In the information presented to the foster care review board either via the telephone reports the personal reports or The reports we reviewed Larry King's name was consistently present as someone that the youth were making allegations against I mean I turned that information over to authorities and Nothing happened I would say we handed over at least a foot high amount of material generally speaking the allegations were ignored Omaha police now accept that Larry King may have been abusing children But it's most senior detective claims he never received any evidence It is certainly possible that mr. King was involved in illegal acts with children If there was sufficient evidence evidence of those types of allegations He would have been prosecuted by the county attorney's office For me it was very clear But the case was not investigated and not pursued because of the alleged perpetrators Those perpetrators named by the children formed a ring of rich and powerful pedophiles in Omaha meant from industry politics the media even the police Besides Larry King ring leaders were department store billionaire Alan Bear And the celebrity columnist of the Omaha World Herald newspaper Peter Citron With the judicial system apparently paralyzed Larry King's political and business empire grew He courted the Republican Party nationally and plundered Franklin's accounts to finance a luxury lifestyle of limousines private planes and palatial homes Three in Omaha and one in Washington DC Franklin's records show he spent 10 million dollars on jewelry flowers and private planes And his lavish spending bought him a charmed life Larry King was constantly heralded cheered applauded in the news media Has the great business men that's helping the poor people the black community of Omaha But King's extravagance attracted the attention of the internal revenue service As a result on April 11, 1988 the Franklin credit union was rated and cloned by the FBI King was arrested and a federal investigation showed he'd stolen $40 million from Franklin But the FBI's inquiries were secret and evidence of King's sex ring was quickly covered up In November 1988 Nebraska's state government set up a parallel investigation into the Franklin financial collapse A legislative committee was formed its chairman was the Republican head of Nebraska's banking committee Corn farmer and state senator Lauren Schmidt But the money trail led quickly to the original allegations of child abuse And almost immediately anonymous threats began I received a phone call on the floor of the legislature It's called to not identify himself But he said Lauren you do not want to have investigation of the Franklin federal credit union And I ask who I'm speaking to and it said that doesn't matter But you shouldn't have that investigation And I said well why not he said It will reach to the highest levels of the Republican party And we're both good Republicans The night before we testified before the Legislative committee. I did receive a phone call at home. That said if he speak you won't live to regret it Undeterred Schmitt's committee hired professional investigators Caron Ormiston and Gary Carradori When we hired Mr. Carradori, I was very specific to him I said we do not want you to bring to the committee rumors In New Endows nothing that cannot be backed up with facts I said bring to the committee that which we can take to a prosecutor On the streets of Omaha, Gary Carradori and Caron Ormiston found new victims of King's Peterfile network Every new youngster told the same stories as those from Boys Town covered up three years earlier They were telling us about prominent people In Omaha and elsewhere that were abusing children at apphires The prominent citizens names that originally came up Were Concerned to meet because I knew many of those individuals and I Brandt Franklin was shocked to have those names swept on the list Ormiston and Carradori recorded their new witnesses on videotape A victim of abuse since he was eight Paul Bernassi was present at many of Larry King's sex parties I Media personality Peter Citron procured some of his victims from Boys Town The kids he liked were mainly around the age of About eight and thirteen is mainly a fondly in oral sex with him He did have some anal sex but he usually did that with the older kids But Citron's abuse of Paul Bernassi involved ever more sadistic parties saved so Okay and Or Okay, just take a be up top Troy Bono was 17 when he was introduced to the pedophile parties by Alan Bear. He left me out and moved me over the bed to let's get on the bed and put his head down so I could put him all the sex on me while his penis was at my hand. As they say, I'm just in line with the connection here. Alan Bear was a sick fuck. Didn't care. One in sex, nasty. I don't even know if you can call it sex. Take it any way you can get it paid for it. He liked it, but if he had to take it by force, he would. Larry King was the same kind of sick fuck Alan Bear. It was like Larry King was more violent, more sure of himself. I mean, I would see him fuck a ten-year-old boy in the ass, and make him totally glad and just go out and stop and push him down. And then go out and meet with decent people. King would also provide underage girls for abuse. Alicia Rowan was 15 when she attended her first party. I met her and I saw that often both of us were. And it was like that time when I met her. I was feeling the time that I met her. I did not know if you were very sure. I had a mother and a mother. I was a first time I had a mother. Alan Bear and Larry King frequently hosted the child sex parties in Penthouse apartments at the Twin Towers luxury block. I liked it with new handcuffs with my hands behind my head. And I think I, I am doing different things that I wouldn't use. Sometimes I do a guy's job when you have a wife. Most of them, Larry King took pictures quite a bit during that time. I know it's difficult. I don't know. I think I could do that now. I don't know. And you know, Alicia, you're a victim. And, uh, but the young age, it's locked in looking at you. We were appalled. Appalled. It was, it was incredible. It's incredible what these kids went through, I think. I was shocked when I walked in. I can't, I would say about 15 years old, having a little room. I was standing on it. He was getting over. And the other guy was like reaching under him, playing with his nipples. Wow. A guy whom Jeff told me was a police officer, shoving beads up his rectum. The police officer was shoving beads up his rectum? Everything, I mean, from just, you know, touching to, you know, through squash, you know, huge squash, you know, that big around, you know, stuck into you. And you're asked, you know, hate, hate things, hot things, you know, poke that in, stuck in you. You know, I got those scars in my arm when I did a party where Larry King was. And he had brought somebody out there, clearly remember who it was. You know, wanted to see how strong a man would wear something, you know, and have his push arms together. And you push your arms together. Then he has the King as he's saying, scars. And you have push him tight together, and you might cigarette, and since he gets burning, you're just dropping down between your arms. And you know, let it burn. You know, and they may just stand there and make it and touch each other by holding our arms together and burn cigarettes. You know, it's on film someplace. I mean, they filmed it. Burning, you know. And those of us that, who do you want to be involved, and who do you want to be involved with that? Right? Who wants to be involved? And who would do this, like, in New York? Larry King. I'm not very interested in it. And I think, he died. And we, they tried to make sure that I can define somebody that looks like you. And it looks like you're family. You're telling everybody? Larry King was also here, he came in and now we drink and dip cocaine. And I didn't do much. He turned me on to the very thing. He didn't like me because I would get high on drugs. And I would question him about, you know, how can you do that? I mean, once I asked him, you know, he wanted me to shit on him. And I said, gladly, you know, I even said, you know, you stupid fucker. You know, I just said on your pain, be money. How can you get into that? I got, you know, beat up by it. I came home here a lot of times, beat the shit from, you know, and speaking my tongue, so to speak, and, you know, just tell him how I felt sometimes. Drugs are a strong part of how they got control of some of the kids. Because that's what some of the kids were there to get. They would do the sexual acts and then be provided with cocaine or whatever had the drug they wanted. heroin, you know, I don't know, but that's, wasn't my, my drug of choice, you know. Till this day, I remained an addict, you know. Lericking was, I would say, the center of transporting the children around the country. The airplanes were usually in his name, least in his name. They were paid for by Lericking. So, next up in Papadena. Next, who was that? We not, like, to look at it. But otherwise, three boys that I had seen at one reception at the French Contest, were there. And I was positive, feel a voice and voice. I was positive. And they would have, I mean, graduated from Boy's Town at one of my friends. And I knew your friends would join. How would they get one for a walk through? I had no idea. Okay. Boy's Town came up frequently during the investigation, but we found it very difficult to get information about Boy's Town. I was not able to find any information. My visit there and the security area could not get information either. Four years on, Boy's Town remains unwilling to discuss its involvement with Larry King. We asked for an interview with Chief Executive Father Valpita, but Boy's Town's Public Affairs Officer refused. I would have to give you a flat-null. I'm just going to tell you at this point that we will not participate with you. We have no interest in talking. It's something that we don't even care to delve into. Hi. Hi. Is Father Valpita available, please? You can check in here. Thank you very much. We're here because we have to give Father Valpita and Boy's Town every opportunity to talk to us about the... ...very serious allegation on the corridor. Please step outside. Why is this Boy's Town is unwilling to discuss your relationship with Larry King? You don't have a relationship with Larry King. And the papers that we possess show that Boy's Town had a relationship with Larry King. I'd suggest you be very careful of that, which you report. Excuse me. I'll let you leave. By the spring of 1980, Boy's Town was a very serious relationship. We were very close to the relationship. By the spring of 1989, so serious with a child abuse allegations before the Franklin Committee, that its chairman, Lauren Schmidt, sought the advice of his lawyer, John DeCamp. He told Schmidt to turn over all the evidence to the FBI. Immediately, the videotape testimony was leaked to a hostile media. The media immediately started discrediting the witnesses. They were... The witnesses came across in the media in the Omaha World Herald, especially as the criminals. The last three victim witnesses were demolished by the press, particularly the Omaha World Herald. The paper never looked for information that would support any of the allegations. The whole purpose of the stories was to destroy any credibility that these youth may have. I heard the people so that Gary Caridori coached me, and that he told me what to say, but the fact was, I didn't meet Gary Caridori until way after I'd already talked to the Omaha police about the abuse and had named all the same people. They didn't ask me very much about Larry Keane or Alan Barrett, or even Alan Barrett. They treated the allegations that he made about the people who abused me almost like a joke. The information did not come our way. It was given, as I said, to the FBI and the press to stay patrol. They conducted their own investigations of the information. The stories were of such significance that the investigators first wanted to prove the accuracy of the stories. As they said about the investigation of the three, initially three, and then a fourth person were telling the stories, as the investigation developed, it became obviously the investigators that the information was not accurate. In fact, it was an entire conspiracy of allegations, none of which had any truth to them. I was very disappointed with the way the FBI and law enforcement treated the victims. In fact, they turned them into the offenders, so to speak. Instead of taking the evidence that was delivered to them by the victims and interrogating the persons who were the victims identified, they seemed to bear down and try to get the victims to change their story. Troy Obama was brought in for questioning by the FBI. The FBI's attitude was, you know, just no. These kind of things don't happen. From the first interview when I went, you know, and realized I don't believe a fucking thing, I'm saying, you know what I mean, they were... They were just appalled, but I realized with that, that looking there I was back then, it was fear. It was fear of everything, you know. I mean, I had witnessed, you know, first hand things that would, you know, destroy this city. You know, people at the position, you know what I mean. It's not going to be believed, believe they said. It will not be believed. You will be found guilty of perduring you. I mean, they weren't telling me maybe. You know, they were saying, you know, there's no way. You're going to go on with the story, you're going to jail. I mean, that was sent to me direct. Just out of fear, I came through a can't the story out of fear. Troy Bonner agreed to recant his videotape testimony and state instead that his evidence had been invented. Next, the FBI used Troy in an attempt to trap a Lyscher O'Inner recanting her evidence about Larry King's ring of powerful pedophiles. The phone call, recorded by the FBI on March 9, 1990, proves conclusive evidence for John the Camp. It's a special agent, Michael F. Mott, following a VA consensually, recorded telephone call between Troy Bonner and Alicia Owen. Hello. Hey, what's going on? I'm back in energy. Yeah. Talk to me. No, you talk to me. I don't know if you can believe me. Why are you calling me? What are you talking about? You're calling me why I'm why I'm lying? You can talk to this whole thing only, Chef. You look shit. You either tell me what's going on. Hey, look. I had nobody watching the TV. I'm listening to you and I'm hoping you give me some fucking answers. I'll be honest with you. I don't want to be in danger. I'm not trying to play here. And I don't know how. How should I let you hear a phone call? You're being stupid, Alicia. I'm not doing a good at jail for you. And that's what's going to happen. Why don't you do a good at jail for telling the truth? No, a jail for lying. What should you think about? I have a right. Okay, the boy is... Listen, shut up. Listen to me. You're not out here being talked to him every day. The pressure is trying to hurt. You have to have bricks for brains to take on the FBI in this country. And that's exactly what you have to do to do this properly. They now, in my opinion, in my investigation, are the architects of the cover-up. We asked the FBI for an interview about its investigation of the Franklin scandal. Hurry, home quicks for the FBI here. We feel it would be inappropriate for us to comment. We work this with the Omaha Police Department. We just don't feel it would be appropriate for us to make comments. As Gary Carradori and Caranormiston sought out new witnesses on the streets of Omaha, they found themselves under constant threat. Gary was threatened several times. His vehicles were tampered with. I would think they were tampered with. It was a scare-tactic because it was so obvious that they were being tampered with. Gary got... There was one piece of evidence I know he got... He even said he got one step ahead of him this time. He told us about this book. It was like addresses, telephone numbers, names. He said if they knew he had it, they'd kill him. On July 11, 1990, Gary Carradori and his eight-year-old son, AJ, were flying home from Chicago. They had watched the All-Stars baseball game, and Carradori had been pursuing new leads. Investigators in the National Transportation Safety Board are at Harold Cameron's cornfield, trying to determine what caused this private plane to crash, killing its two occupants. The bodies of Gary Carradori and eight-year-old AJ were found in the wreckage. National Transportation Safety Board investigators say wreckage from the crash is apparently strewn over a three-quarter to one mile long stretch in this field. The fact that the wreckage is scattered over a large area certainly demonstrates that it did break up in flight. The exact mechanism of break up got a storm. The federal investigation was never able to discover what tore the plane apart. There are things missing from the plane. His briefcase isn't missing. Again, we'll never know what all was missing because I don't know what he had with him. I don't know what he did in Chicago. He may have had information he was coming back with. Within 24 hours of the tragedy, FBI agents impounded all records of the investigation. Gary's widow, Sandy, is still unable to come to terms with her loss. He's a mother. I don't want to ever think that somebody murdered my child. I don't know my husband. But I think if you'd ever talk to any parents, be it mother or father, there's ever lost a child. I mean, the worst thing that you can think of is that somebody would want to murder a child. I really feel that somebody killed my brother. And inside me, I know somebody killed my brother. If somebody could help us out somewhere, somebody knows something. And may God help those who did that to him and his family. Gary Caradori's death pricked Troy Bonner's conscience. He promised Sandy that he would recount his recantation and tell the truth. I said the record straight. I was going to do it in wood. You know, the truth would come out. You know, when somebody would be held accountable for his death. And then at the funeral, I had seen, you know, FBI guys, you know, and they looked at me. You know, while I was supposed to meet Senator Obeds and Schmidt for lunch after the funeral. And that's when I decided I told my mom, you know, we're not going to do the ones. We're going to, I tell it, I don't think in now. The effect of Gary's crash on the investigation, I think, in effect, put an end to any of the events that I'm going to do. I think, in effect, put an end to anybody else coming forward with sensitive information like this. That's when I was finished because I figured out if they murdered Gary and his son, there was nothing that would stop him. There was no, there was no piece of paper. There was nothing we could come up with that was going to get anything done. Under pressure from the FBI, Troy Bonner agreed to tell a Douglas County Grand Jury investigating Larry King that he and Alicia Owen had concocted the entire child abuse story on payment of a $500 bond. Troy Bonner was to be the star witness against Alicia Owen, but he grew uneasy about maintaining what he claims were the lies fed to him by the FBI. When his brother Sean died in an inexplicable gun accident, Troy and his family were convinced they'd been sent a warning message. You know, they'd be killed and just light out right somehow. Professionally, made something happen, you know, to shut me up. The purpose of Sean's death, to instill fear, and worked. Do I feel guilty about my brother? Yes, I do. That's where all this is coming from. This is where the energy, that's where the energy is coming from that I'm getting to do this. It's for him because I mean it did should have been me there instead of him. Really. I mean I'm not trying to make anybody feel bad, but I mean he was brilliant and innocent. You know, it should have been me. I mean he had so much to give. I had taken so much. You know, it should have been the other way around. I can explain to you what it feels like to lose a child. But when you see the pain your kids have. Because that... It's much worse. I can do anything for him. I can't take that pain away for him. Lauren Schmidt's legislative committee issued a report denouncing the Grand jury. Two months later it was disbanded, leaving Schmidt a broken man. The message was not lost on most politicians in Nebraska. I think the message was delivered to the Wales, if any, legislative committee never tries to conduct it through investigation again, the same thing will happen. It has shaken my faith and institutions of government. It used to be a firm leader that... that system would work. And that people who did things wrong would be punished. And we discovered victims who claimed have been abused and who the Grand jury acknowledged had been abused. But they did not try to find out who had abused those individuals instead. They convicted Alicia Owen in a perjury. And the festival for my point of view. In July 1991, Alicia Owen was convicted of perjury. Her sentence was between nine and 25 years. I can't find a case in the history of this country where some kid got sentenced to 25 or 30 years in prison for something like this. If you were going to pick a... what I call a tell sign, something that says something specious about the whole thing, it was in the sentencing itself. For some reason they had to send a signal to every kid who was a potential witness. My opinion again. A signal so loud and clear, if you dare to come forward, if you dare to talk, watch what happens. Three months later, Larry King was jailed for the $40 million fraud. He was given a 15-year sentence. Ten years less than Alicia Owen. John DeCamp is now the only man fighting to help Larry King's victims. He's become the lawyer for Paul Bernassi and Alicia Owen. I live in Nebraska. I have four kids growing up here. Why can't it be my heritage? Well, if it's a dirty cesspool that I have to live in or look back on that I left, that ain't good. The real cost, if I were going to say to my family, has been the fear and intimidation that's put in some of the kids. A couple of the kids are really frightened and really had some sleep and problems over it. You know, hear this or that. So that's been the real concern I've had. In the face of mysterious threats, John has turned for advice to his friend and one time boss, former head of the CIA Bill Colby. Bill Colby told me better than anything. The one thing that the bad people can't afford is publicity and knocking you off right now or doing something obvious to one of your kids would bring him more trouble when it's worth. I said you have to consider the possibility of some danger to not only your reputation but to your person. I mean, there are people do react rather violently to some kinds of charges or particularly if they're true, there's more apt to be a negative reaction than if they're not. If they're false charges, then they can be reacted to in a normal way by a libel suit or whatever. But if there's truth in it, there can be a danger in that situation. We've seen that happen in other cases. John the camp has arranged to meet Troy Bonner, the young man he sees as the key to the cover-up. He's in great danger. The reason is he carries the secret, so to speak. He served his purpose for the FBI and others by committing the lies that put the seal on the cover-up. His greatest safety probably lies in doing exactly what he knows he should do that is exposing the whole thing, taking one final last chance and telling the truth. I'm not going to believe again. It's just going to be a whole other kind of exploitation like it was last time. I'm afraid that that's going to happen or it might end up dead or loved one might end up dead again. I want this to go forward and have something done so that all those other kids who are more worse things have happened to come forward and see that action can be taken. Because there are a lot of other kids out there that things happen to them that are a lot worse than happened to me. You have to, if you want to protect yourself and your life and your family's life, both now and particularly in the future, is to use the institutions of government that have been set up to protect you and make them work. That means you go into federal court, you go after the people that have done this cover-up and you expose it so there's no longer any percentage on their part in eliminating you because the secret's out. That's why we're here today to let it out. I have no doubt that he's now telling the truth, number one, and number two, that he originally told the truth. Potentially, they could decide to charge him with perjury because now he is telling that they forced me to lie. I did lie at Alicia's trial, I did lie before the grand jury, I did it because the authorities were forcing me to do it and I was scared for my family, my brother had been killed when I tried to back out the one time. Potentially, they could charge him with perjury this time. Alicia Rowan is out of prison and on bail while the camp appeals against her perjury conviction. As he prepares for a court hearing, new evidence of the cover-up emerges and once again, it involves Troy Bonner's evidence. This evidence that were shown to the grand jury had been edited. Everything that matched Troy's statement was shown that matched mine. I know it's written. I think maybe one of the things we want to do is show the judge specifically how little five-minute segments of look, this tape says this and then show him it isn't in this tape. This is the tape the grand jury saw. I'm going to attempt to get these tapes and we'll see what happens next. But to obtain the evidence, the camp must approach some of the very officials he believes were involved in the cover-up, the county attorney's office which ran the grand jury. In the good old Alicia Rowan case, 127-194, I'm trying to get the evidence, the tapes and the transcripts of Troy and Danny Troy Bonner. It might be downstairs. Who did that up here? Yeah. I think there's two tapes. There should be a desire to understand the transcript of them. But if I can get them, I can start reviewing and figure out maybe a little bit on what's happening on some things. Robert Seagler is the prosecuting attorney fighting to send Alicia Rowan back to prison. After lengthy negotiations, the camp emerges with the tapes the grand jury never saw. I'm going to turn the line of the elsewhere with Logan Howard and then a big, big clip from the line of the Alice to Los Angeles. I think anybody go with you? Alicia Rowan. If this indeed were left out of the grand jury proceedings, then I am totally shocked and angry beyond words. Here it is. So to speak, be smoking gun that they could go out and verify the corroboration. In other words, the linkage to King that was denied, cover up, organized, planned, deliberate cover up. The courthouse Wahoo Nebraska. The hearings begin. Alicia Rowan is ready to testify. So too is Paul Bernassi. But there is no sign of Troy Bonner. The camp discovers that Robert Seagler has sent a young man a threatening subpoena. Fearing arrest for perjury, Troy has gone into hiding. It's a trance subpoena more for this guy. It's a trance subpoena. Yeah, he's okay. I just reckon he'll have me test him out if he does. Okay, try that for him. What is Alicia? No, she didn't. In court, the camp successfully pleads for another agenda. The county attorney's office begins to search for Troy Bonner, but Robert Seagler won't say why. Let's keep on the Eurobouncing Challenge Trance Tribone of Repertory. Oh, well. Why isn't Wynnecom Mr. Seagler a public official, aren't you? This is every work. Mr. Seagler, is it true that you are about a cross-charge trope on a repertory? No, the camp is. Mr. Seagler, if you do not cross-charge trope on a repertory, it's not mean you accept this from what he's saying is true. No, the camp is. Why aren't you trying to make Troy want to summon to this hearing, Mr. Seagler? No, the camp is. Why no comment, Mr. Seagler? No comment. Every victim witness, who stepped forward in any way, or even was a potential witness that somebody heard about, has either been killed, put in jail under some theory or other, terrified or run out of the state, discredited every perpetrator, every perpetrator, even the convicted ones have been treated as conquering heroes. Obviously, the FBI was protecting something a lot more significant than a bunch of old pedophiles having improper relations with little boys. They were protecting something a lot more significant than a bunch of drug peddlers. They were protecting, in my opinion. They were protecting some very prominent politicians. It's very powerful and wealthy individuals associated with those politicians and the political system up to and including the highest political people in this entire country. In search of answers, John DeCamp goes to Washington to investigate Larry King's powerful connections in the nation's capital. Paul Bonassi has come to Larry King through child sex parties at his $5,000 a month Washington House. Paul Bonassi was one of the victims. Lurking's house down in Washington, DeCamp was a nice house. I guess I believe it was Embassy Roe because that's what they kept talking about. There were a lot of flags from different countries when you drove around in the area. So tell me Paul, how often did you come here? I was about 14, about 9,000, and my first year was about three or four times the first year. After that was about once a month, after 81. And who brought you to Larry King's house? And this is the actual house for you? Yes, and what you were used for sex there? Yes, some of the parties when they started off were straight political type parties with no sex. And then when some of them had left, some of the politicians had left. The ones that had planned on engaging in some type of sexual activity, that would come after the party. Some of the kids would be held downstairs in some of the rooms where if they acted up or if they started freaking out because of the drugs that they were on, they put them in a room. So they could not get out of it and they would lock them in. Were there drugs at these parties? Yes. What kind of drugs? Anything you wanted. Tocaine, heroin, spigols. You were telling me those things were at these parties where you had Larry King and prominent politicians. Yes. Were they readily available to anybody at the party? They... At the after parties they were readily available for anybody. Before and they did it more upstairs than they did anywhere else and it was kind of the back rooms. Were any attempts ever made that you know of to expose this situation? As far as I know nothing's ever been done and most of the people that were in there had already been compromised. King's partner in sex crime was powerful Washington lobbyist Craig Spence. He took youngsters like Bernasse on midnight tours of the White House. You were in the White House, then? Yes. And... How did you gain access? Well I came down with Larry King but Craig Spence was the one that arranged the trip for us. And it was kind of a gift for a services that we were doing. How many times were you on this kind of a trip? I came to it on two times. Two times. And were you used for sex on those occasions? None for left or we left. After you left the White House, you said. One time at night. It was usually around midnight. We were just kind of weird being in the White House at that time of the night. Getting to go into places that the guy was telling us that nobody just to go to. We've seen a scene of rooms in there that I'd never even heard about. Craig Spence and Larry King had a couple of groups. One was called bodies like God and they had the call boys. And there was another group that was started by Larry King, which was called the Golden Boys, which was kids that were usually under the age of approximately ten. On the trail of Craig Spence, DeCamp finds the investigative reporter who exposed Spence's call boy network, Paul Rodriguez of the Washington Times. We had uncovered a series of allegations from some minors and led me to a call boy operation here in Washington. Sure fits with, you know, this boy Paul Benossis. He tells the tale of being brought to the White House on occasion. Kind of was a reward for the kid. He had a defense as bad as committed suicide. He had a advanced stages of AIDS. He was an AIDS carry and he killed himself. This little thing always bothered me. They claimed it was the largest male prostitution ring in the city that they ever had uncovered. It was a million dollars a year minimum. And yet they only prosecuted the operator, Henry Benson, and three of his attendants as it were. This operation, which was, again, quite large, claimed to have clients that ran from the White House to the Capitol Hill to the State House to the churches within the media. And it was not only what Paul describes as the people he was doing. A lot of the stuff led there, but we couldn't quite nail it at all cases because, again, to accuse someone of high slavery, you're going to be very careful. I understand. You were able to do it. The mother-loathe was invited us, credit card received, and can't subtract. And then listed the clients. The prosecutors knew all this stuff. There were approximately 20,000 documents that they had. They sealed the entire record when they found out I was accessing them. They required consent agreements from all the lawyers, all the clients, all the relatives of all the clients, all the hookers, including the clients. That means you can never gain access. They sealed them by court order. And we have tried, we've attempted on several occasions, to unseal that. And we've been told it will be a cold day in hell before those records ever get unsealed. And it makes me wonder what's in those records. The Attorney General is now involved. Bill Colby has passed a camp's evidence to a senior lawyer in the Justice Department. He did say that the Attorney General's office would be very sensitive to any charges of abuse of children. That this was a matter of considerable priority to the Department, that this sort of thing not take place, and that they would assign an officer to look into the case. For John the Camp, the story of Larry King's corrupt empire holds a dire warning for America. If you can control about three or four key elements, you can totally own a state. You can make right wrong. You can make false falsehood truth. If you control the media, if you control the Justice Department, if you control the police, you own the system. It's beyond the belief that arguably the most powerful person in the world, the President of the United States, in the form of Richard Nixon, could not prevent the investigation of Watergate, or that President Reagan could not prevent the investigation of Iran-Contra. And yet somehow this group of unnamed, unknown, anonymous individuals in Omaha, Nebraska have such power, they can control and protect all of these people from being investigated. Those allegations are ridiculous. Well, first of all, Nixon did cover up Watergate, number one. Bush did cover up Iran-Contra, at least officially, and Omaha has successfully covered up this situation. In each case, it was the press that exposed the problem. It wasn't institutions of government. They had been corrupted. They had been compromised. They were the ones doing the cover-up. The Justice Department acting through FBI and the US Attorney's Office in Omaha, emerges from the record of the Franklin investigation not so much as a party to the cover-up, but as its coordinator. Ringing grand juries, harassment of witnesses, incitement to perjury, and tampering with evidence, federal personnel were seen to apply all those techniques in the Franklin case. The Justice Department is now in the hands of the U.S. Attorney General, and the U.S. Attorney General, who is the president of the U.S. Attorney General, is the president of the U.S. Attorney General, who is the president of the U.S. Attorney General, who is the president of the U.S. Attorney General, who is the president of the U.S. Attorney General, who is the president of the U.S. Attorney General, who is the president of the U.S. Attorney General, who is the president of the U.S. Attorney General, who is the president of the U.S. Attorney General, who is the president of the U.S. Attorney General, who is the president of the U.S. Attorney General,
