"On Tuesday May 3rd 1994 this program was scheduled to air on the Discovery Channel." "Influential members of congress applied pressure to the cable industry to stop the airing of the program and DESTROY ALL COPIES!" "It was already listed nationwide in the April 30th-May6th edition of TV Guide and newspaper supplements." "The Discovery Channel and Yorkshire Television were reimbursed for the 1/4 to 1/2 MILLION dollars production costs." "This is the program they didn't want you to see!" "Once one of America's top republicans," "Lawrence King is serving a 15-year prison sentence for a multi-million dollar fraud." "But financial crime is only half of the story." "This is the true story of Lawrence King." "It is the story of a cancer at the heart of America and of its continuing 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 abuse of power." "[DeCamp:] It's a web of intrigue that starts in our holy of holies, Boys Town, Nebraska, one of the most respected institutions of the United States, and spreads out like a spider web to Washington DC," "right up to the steps of the nation's capital, the steps of the White House, involves some of the most respected and powerful and richest businessmen 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 couriers, to compromising of politicians, to compromising of businessmen but worst of all, the corruption of key institutions of government" "that have the duty and responsibility to make sure these things never happen." "For John DeCamp the trial starts in a unique town just outside Omaha." "Well-famed Boys Town is in the news again." "Made famous by an Oscar-winning film," "Boys Town is America's favourite children's charity." "It was founded in 1917 by a catholic priest Father Flanagan." "[Father Flanagan:] The saddest spectacle of our social life is the neglected, unwanted and unloved boy who has become a serious problem in our society." "[Father Hupp:] Boys Town was started to be a home for orphans after World War I and since then society has changed and the problems of boys have changed and so now it's a question of taking care of homeless," "abandoned, neglected, abused boys, and now girls also." "Boys Town has been granted the privileges of an incorporated town, a catholic diocese and a school district for 500 children." "Boys Town has cash reserves of $500 million but still raises up to 35 million annually solicited from the public by begging letters and promotional videos." "I'm Father Val Peter and I take care of father's Flanagan dream and executive director of Boys Town." "Does Boys Town really exist?" " people ask me." "Youbetit does." "Located in a heartland of America," "Boys Town youth have come from many backgrounds and locals." "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, 68010." "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." "When an institution like that gets contaminated 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, Larry King." "Larry King was the fastest-rising black star in the entire Republican Party of the" "United States during all of the 1980's." "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 the Franklin Federal Credit Union, a people's bank in Omaha, Nebraska." "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 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 book-keeping department." "But on the average of once a month or once every two months we always seemed to incorporate a person from Boys Town." "But King used Boys Town not just as a source of young boys for his business." "He prostituted them at sex and drug orgies." "Paul Bonacci 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, go up throughout the home." "Picking up the kids." "You know, just kind of winning their confidence, become friends with them for a while." "Started inviting them to the parties." "The kids were 10 years old or older." "In 1986 King's plundering of Boys Town was reported by staff to its chief executive, father Val Peter." "Subsequent testimony proves that he carried out his own investigation but that King's victims refused to talk to him." "Monsignor Hupp now blames himself for Boys Town's association with Larry King." "Well, in retrospect, I regret having any association with Larry King." "And had I known it at the time, it would never have happened." "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 light of day, nothing happened with that?" "No, I couldn't understand that because if" "I'd known that I wouldn't put up with that." "But has something like that happened?" "I don't know of it." "[Foster Care Review Board, Carol Stitt:] 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, the director of the facility." "They should be reported directly to either child protective services or law enforcement." "And so Larry King remained free to feed his pedophilic parties with child victims." "But in 1988 a routine review brought King's involvement with Boys Town youth to the attention of Nebraska's State Foster Care Review Board." "In main 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 youths were making allegations against." "I would say we handed over at least a foot-high amount of material to authorities and nothing happened." "Omaha Police now accept that Larry King may have been abusing children." "But its most senior officer claims the evidence was not conclusive." "[Attorney Gen. Spiro:] It is certainly possible that Mr. King was involved in illegal acts with children." "If there was sufficient evidence of those types of allegations, he would have been prosecuted by the county attorney's office." "For me it was very clear that the case was not investigated and not pursued because of the alleged perpetrators." "Those perpetrators named by the children were some of the richest and most influential citizens in positions of power in the state, men prominent in industry, politics, the media, even the police." "We can only name the ring-leaders." "Besides Larry King, they were department store millionaire Alan Baer and a celebrity columnist of Omaha's only newspaper, the World Herald, Peter Citron." "With the judicial system apparently paralyzed," "Larry King spent Franklin's money on courting political influence." "$10 million went on jewelry, flowers and private planes." "He cultivated contacts in the inner circles of Ronald Reagan's White House." "At his palatial homes, 3 in Omaha and 1 in Washington DC, he held extravagant parties for the influential and powerful." "His lavish spending bought him a protected life." "Larry King was constantly heralded, cheered, applauded in the news media as the great businessman 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 raided and closed by the FBI." "King was arrested and a federal investigation showed he had stolen $40 million from Franklin." "Documents we posses reveal the FBI interviewed many of the victims of Larry King's sex ring, but no action was taken." "In November 1988 Nebraska's state government set up a parallel investigation into Larry King." "A legislative committee was formed." "Its chairman was the republican head of Nebraska's banking committee, corn farmer and state senator, Loran Shmit." "Immediately, anonymous threats began." "I received a phone call on the floor of the Legislature." "The caller did not identify himself, but he said: "Loran, you do not want to have an investigation of the Franklin Federal Credit Union"." "And I asked who I was speaking to." "He said "That doesn't matter but you shouldn't have an 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."" "Undeterred, the committee began their investigations and the money trail lead quickly to the original allegations of child abuse." "Caroline Stitt was one of the first to testify." "The night before we testified before the Legislative Committee," "I did received a phone call at home that said "If you speak, you won't live to regret it"." "To protect the inquiry," "Schmit's Committee hired special legal council and full-time professional investigators" "Gary Caradori and Karen Ormiston." "I said, we do not want you to bring to the committee rumors, innuendos, nothing that cannot be backed up by facts." "I said, bring to the committee that which we can take to a prosecutor." "The investigators found new victims of King's pedophile network, many on the streets of Omaha." "The picture they built up was of a large ring of rich and powerful pedophiles." "Many named the same men as those involved in the Boys Town cases three years earlier." "[Ormiston:] They were telling us about prominent people in Omaha and elsewhere that were abusing children at parties." "The prominent citizens' names that originally came up were of concern to me because I knew they many of the individuals and I very frankly was shocked to have those names show up on the list." "To provide the committee with hard evidence, the investigators recorded their new witnesses on videotape." "Paul Bonacci had been a victim of abuse since he was 8." "He was present at many of Larry King's sex parties." "Caradori traced him to the county jail." "He had been convicted of fondling his young cousin." "Who are some of these people that would come to these parties?" "Larry King, Peter Citron and others." "Media personality Peter Citron procured some of his victims from Boys Town." "Kids he liked from mainly around the age of 8 to 13." "He was mainly fondling and had oral sex with them." "He did have some anal sex but he usually did that with the older kids." "The parties involved ever more sadistic abuse." "Remember you were tied up,  was there anybody else than you and Peter Citron?" " Yes." " Who was that?" "There was Alan Baer sometimes." "Millionaire Alan Baer hosted parties for a large number of sadistic pedophiles." "Paul Bonacci suffered at their hands." " Are you OK?" " Yes." "And sometimes some other kids were performing sex on me." "There was burning of some cigarettes." "OK." "Just take a deep breath now." "Troy Boner would tie you up?" "He was there." "Troy Boner was found by the investigators and his video-taped testimony taken under oath." "I was shocked when I walked into this room." "There was this kid I would say about 15 years old in the middle of the room." "A man was standing in front of him." "He was bent over and the other guy was like reaching under him," "playing with his nipples." "A guy who Jeff [King] told me was a police officer, was shoving beads up his rectum." "The police officer was shoving beads up his rectum?" "Yes." "Boner named Alan Baer as the man who introduced him to the sex parties." "Allan Baer was a sick fuck." "He didn't care, you know, wanted sex nasty." "You know..." "I don't even know if you can call it sex." "Everything, from just touching to a fruit squash, you know, a huge squash that big around, stuck into you, into your ass." "Heat... heat things... hot things, poked at you and stuck in you." "But the center of the child sex ring was Larry King." "Larry King was the same kind of sick fuck Alan Baer was except Larry King was more violent, more sure of himself." "I got those scars on my arm one night at a party where Larry King wanted to see how strong a man we were or something, he had us put our arms together." "He'd light cigarettes and as soon as they got burning he would drop them down between our arms." "And you know, let it burn." "They made us stand their naked and touch each other while holding our arms together and burnt cigarettes there." "It's on film someplace." "They filmed it." "The burning, you know." "I would see him fuck a 10-year-old boy in the ass until he bled, and just pull out and stop, push him down and then go out and meet with decent people." "King would also provide underage girls for abuse." "Alisha Owen told the investigators she was 15 when she attended her first party introduced by a Boys Town boy." "Caradori discovered her in jail where she was serving a sentence for passing bad checks." "I met some guys there that were from Boys Town." "And it was at that time that I met Larry King." "At the time I met Larry King I did not know that he was like a madman." "Larry King and Alan Baer frequently hosted the child sex parties in penthouse apartments at the Twin Towers luxury block in Omaha." "A lot of the time, I was in handcuffs  with my hand behind my head and my feet tied" "and doing different things." "What things?" "Sometimes there would be a guy astride over my face." "Most of the time Larry King took pictures of that duringthattime." "I know it's difficult." "I don't know." "Maybe... but I don't know." "And you know, Alisha, you're a victim." "And at the young age..." "Let's go up." "We were appalled." "Appalled" "I don't know if it comes across on the video they way it came across to us in person." "It was incredible." "It's incredible what these kids went through, I think." "Larry King was also there." "He came in and I would drink and did cocaine." "Speed turned me on to what Larry King did." "Drugs were a strong part of how they got control of the 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 type of drug they wanted." "Heroine that was my drug of choice." "To this day I remain an addict." "Those of us that didn't want to be involved  and didn't want to be a part of it were threatened." "And who would do this threatening?" "Larry King." " Did Larry King personally do that?" " He did." "They threatened that I can go find somebody that will kill you or that will kill your family." "Do not tell anybody." "Larry King was, I would say the center of transporting the children around the country." "The airplanes were usually in his name, leased in his name." "They were paid for by Larry King." " We met them in Pasadena." " Met who in Pasadena?" "We met Larry King." "There was three boys that I had seen at one of the receptions." "Almost positive they were Boys Town boys." "Almost positive." "They would have..." "Youmeangraduates of Boys Town or present?" "Present." " How did they get away from there?" " I have no idea." "Boy's Town came up frequently during the investigation, but we found it very difficult to get information about Boys Town." "I was not able to find any information." "My visit there and Mr. Caradori could not get any information either." "Boy's Town today remains unwilling to discus its involvement with Larry King." "We were banned from filming at Boys Town and its public affairs officer refused any interviews." "[Telephone Public Affairs Officer:] "I would have to give you a flat no." "I'm just gonna tell you at this point that we will not participate with you, we have no interest in talking to you folks." "It's something that we do not even care to delve into. [phone slams]" "By the spring of 1990 the Nebraska State Committee was convinced by the evidence of an organized child abuse ring." "Its chairman Loren Schmit sought the advice of his lawyer John DeCamp." "On his advice, Schmit turned over all the sworn evidence to the FBI." "But immediately the video-taped testimony was leaked to a hostile local 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 these youths may have." "I heard the people said that Gary Caradori coached me, that he told me what to say." "But the fact was I didn't meet Gary Caradori until way after I had already talked to the Omaha police about the abuse and had named all the same people." "Paul Bonacci maintains that neither the FBI nor the Omaha police took his allegations seriously." "They didn't ask me very much about Larry King or even Alan Baer at all." "They treated the allegation I made about the people who abused me almost like a joke." "The stories were of such significance that the investigators first wanted to prove the accuracy of the stories." "As they set about the investigation of the three, initially three, and then a fourth person, who were telling the stories, as the investigation developed, it became obvious to the investigators that the information was not accurate." "And 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." "They in fact turned them into the offenders, so to speak." "And instead of taking the evidence that was delivered to them by the victims and interrogating the persons whom the victims identified, they seemed to bear down and try to get the victims to change their story." "It seemed to the investigators that the establishment of Omaha was closing ranks." "Then Troy Boner was brought in for questioning by the FBI." "The FBI's attitude was just "no", these kinds of things just don't happen." "From the first interview when I went," "I realized they don't believe a fucking thing I'm saying." "And they were just appalled but I realized what that look in their eye was back then." "It was fear." "It was fear that I had witnessed first-hand things that would destroy this city." "People of position, you know what I mean?" "It's not going to be believed, they said to me, it will not be believed." "You will be found guilty of perjury and they weren't telling me "maybe"." "They were saying there's no way." "You go on with this story, you're going to jail." "That was said to me direct." "Troy Boner agreed to withdraw his video-taped testimony." "The FBI used Troy in an attempt to persuade fellow witness" "Alisha Owen into abandoning her evidence about Larry King's nationwide network of powerful pedophiles." "We have obtained the recording of the phone call made by the FBI on March 9, 1990." "It is significant evidence for John De Camp." "This is Special Agent Michael F. Mott." "Following will be a consensually recorded telephone call between Troy Boner and Alisha Owen." "Boner:" "Hello." "Owen:" "Hi." "Hey, what's going on?" "I'd like to ask you that." "Talk to me" "No you talk to me!" "I don't understand why you're lying." "Why are you lying?" " What are you talking about?" " That's what I'm asking you." " You're calling me why I'm lying?" " Yes." " You concocted this whole thing Alisha." " You're full of shit." " Either tell me what's going on..." " You're full of shit." "Who do you have listening on this line?" "I have nobody listening to me." "I'm listening to you and I'm hoping you can give me some fucking answers." "I'll be honest with you." "I don't know what kind of game your playing." "I'm not trying to play a game." "I'm not going to go to jail for you." "And that's what is going to happen." "Why would you go to jail?" "Jail for telling the truth?" "No, jail for lying." "What have you lied about?" "I haven't lied." "Okaythen,butwhy ..." "Listen!" "Shutup !" "Listen to me." "You're not out here being talked to by them every day." "The pressure is kind of hard!" "You literally 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 in Omaha for an interview about its investigation of the Franklin scandal." "Murray Homequest with the FBI here." "We feel it would be inappropriate for us to comment." "We worked this with the Omaha police department and we just don't feel it would be appropriate for use to make comments." "As the investigators sought out new witnesses, they found themselves under constant threat." "Gary was threatened several times." "His vehicles were tampered with." "I would think whoever tampered with them, it was a scare tactic because it was so obvious that they were being tampered with." "Gary got this..." "There's one piece of evidence I know he got, that he even said, he got one step ahead of them this time." "He told us about this book." "It was like addresses, telephone numbers, names..." "He said if they knew he had it, they would kill him." "On July 11, 1990 Gary Caradori and his eight-year-old son A.J." "were flying home from Chicago in his light aircraft." "They had watched the all-star baseball game and Caradori had been pursuing new leads." "Investigators from the National Transportation Safety Board are in Harold Cameron's cornfield trying to determine what caused this private plane to crash killing it's two occupants." "The bodies of Gary Carodori and eight-year-old A.J. 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 is still unknown." "The federal investigation was never able to discover what tore the plane apart." "There are things missing from the plane." "His briefcase is missing." "I think the plane was sabotaged." "There's no doubt in my mind." "Within 24 hours of the tragedy all Caradori's records were impounded by the FBI." "Gary's widow Sandy is still unable to come to terms with her loss." "As a mother, I don't want to ever think that somebody murdered my child," "let alone my husband." "But I think if you ever talked to any parent, be it mother or father, who has ever lost a child, the worst thing you can think of is that somebody would want to murder a child." "I really feel that somebody killed my brother." "And inside of me I know that somebody killed my brother." "If there is someone out there who could help us out... somebody knows something." "May God help those who did that to him and his family." "The effect of Gary's crash on the investigation," "I think it affect to put an end to anybody else coming forward." "There are many victims." "We knew of more, there are more." "They are still out there." "They're afraid to come forward." "That's when I was finished, because I figured out if they murdered Gary and his son there was nothing that would stop them." "There is no piece of paper, there is nothing we could come up with that was going to get anything done." "But Gary Caradori's death pricked Troy Boner's conscience." "He promised Sandy that he would tell Senator Schmit's committee about the FBI's pressure which lead him to lie." "I'd set the record straight." "I was going to do it and would..." "The truth would come out." "and somebody would be held accountable for his death." "And then at the funeral, I'd see FBI guys and they looked at me." "I was supposed to meet Senator Orback and Schmit for lunch after the funeral." "And that's when I decided," "I told my mom we're not going to do the lunch." "We're going to get out of Lincoln now." "Troy Boner claims that pressure from the FBI and with the assistance of the county attorney's office in Omaha, led him to swear a new statement claiming that he and Alisha Owen had concocted the entire child abuse story." "He told this story to the Grand Jury formed to bring any charges." "On July 23, 1990, the Grand Jury issued a bizarre and contradictory report." "It indicted Larry King for fraud and embezzlement and ruled that he had paid young men for sex but dismissed allegations about his sex ring." "It indicted Alan Baer for the serious offense of pandering for sex, but rejected evidence linking him to King or to Citron, who, be it noted, had been convicted of separate child molestation charges." "It accepted that Troy, Alisha and Paul Bonacci had been abused, but not by the people they identified." "And for refusing to withdraw her evidence, it charged Alisha Owen with perjury." "Loren Schmit's Legislative Committee issued a report denouncing the Grand Jury." "Schmit acknowledges that the system failed both the victims and him." "I think I've got as distinguished a record as anyone can put together in 24 years." "I was told that would be curtailed and it was." "I was told I would have financial problems and I did." "That certainly was not lost on most politicians in Nebraska." "I think the message that was delivered was that if any legislative committee ever tries to conduct a thorough investigation again, the same thing will happen." "It has shaken my faith in the institutions of the government." "I used to be a firm believer that the system would work, and that people who did things wrong would be punished." "We discovered victims who claimed to have been abused and who the Grand Jury acknowledged to have been abused but they did not try to find out who had abused those individuals." "Instead they convicted Alisha Owen of perjury, indefensible from my point of view." "The trial took place in July of 1991." "Troy Boner testified that the child abuse story had been an invention." "As a result Alisha Owen was sentenced to between 9 and 25 years in prison." "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, what I call a tell sign, something that says something's fishy 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." "Alan Baer was fined $500 after pleading no contest to a reduced charge of aiding and abetting prostitution." "Peter Citron served two years of a three- to eight-year sentence." "Thanks to Troy Boner's lies Larry King never faced child sex charges." "For the 40 million dollar fraud he was given a 15-year sentence - ten years less than Alisha Owen." "I feel really sick." "I should be taken out and shot for doing that." "And if that was too happen, I would go willingly." "John De Camp, former state senator and Vietnam veteran, is now the only man fighting to help Larry King's victims." "He is the lawyer trying to overturn Alisha Owen's conviction and to expose the cover-up." "I live in Nebraska." "Hell, I was born here, raised here." "I have four kids growing up here." "Like it or not it is my heritage, you know." "If it is a dirty cesspool so that I got to live in or look back on that I left, that ain't good." "The real cost, if I were to say, to my family has been the fear and intimidation it has put in some of the kids." "A couple of the kids are really frightened and really had some sleeping problems over this and that." "So that's been the real concern I've had." "John has received anonymous threats and has turned for advice to his friend and one-time boss, former head of the CIA William Colby." "Bill Colby told me that the one thing those people can't afford is publicity and knocking you off right now or doing something obvious to one of your kids would bring them more trouble than its worth." "I said, You have to consider the possibility of some danger to not only your reputation but to your person." "There are people who do react rather violently to some kinds of charges." "Particularly if they are true, there's more apt to be a negative reaction, than if they're false." "If they're false charges, then they can be reacted to in a normal way, by 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 arranges to meet Troy Boner, 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." "He knows that Troy's evidence will be crucial to Alisha Owen's case." "And Troy wants to tell the truth despite very real fears." "My fears are, I'm not going to be believed again." "It's just going to be a whole another kind of exploitation like it was the last time." "And I'm afraid that's going to happen or I might end up dead or a loved one might end up dead." "Troy has an overriding reason for putting the record straight." "I want this to go forward and have something done, so that all those other kids who a lot worse things have happened to, can come forward and see that action can be taken." "You have to, if you want to protect yourself and your life and your family's life, both now and particularly in the future, 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 is no longer any percentage, on their part, in eliminating you because the secret is out." "Yeah, that's why we are here today, to let it out." "John's advice to Troy to tell the truth in court puts him at risk of prosecution by the County Attorney's office." "Potentially they could decide to charge him with perjury because now he is telling that 'they forced me to lie" "I did lie at Alisha'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. '" "Potentially they could charge him with perjury this time." "Troy's appearance in court will keep Alisha Owen out of prison." "She on bail while DeCamp appeals against her perjury conviction." "As her hearing approaches, vital new evidence emerges." "Alisha claims that some of Troy's video-taped testimony was withheld from the Grand Jury, which indicted her." "The tapes that were shown to the Grand Jury had been edited." "Everything that matched Troy's statements that matched mine was edited out." "I think maybe one of the things we want to do is show the judge specifically how where these little 5-minute segments of look, this tape has this and then show him it isn't in this tape." "And this is the tape that the Grand Jury saw." "I'm going to attempt to get these tapes and we'll see what happens next." "But to obtain the tapes DeCamp must approach some of the various officials he has accused in court of being involved in the cover-up:" "the County Attorney's office which ran the Grand Jury." "Bring the good old Alisha Owen case." "127 - 194." "I'm trying to get the evidence, the tapes and the transcripts of Troy and Danny," "Troy Boner." "Oh." "How to guess, Robert Siegler has them." "Robert Siegler is the prosecuting attorney, trying to send Alisha Owen back to prison." "After lengthy negotiations DeCamp emerges with the tapes the Grand Jury never saw." "There was about four thousand dollars of cocaine." "OK, and what airline?" "In more than two hours of taped testimony" "Troy details trips across America on behalf of Larry King and Alan Baer." "Trips for drug deals and sex." "It corroborates Alisha's evidence." "I was sent in a big plane from Dallas to Los Angeles." "And did anybody go with you?" "Alisha Owen." "For John DeCamp this is the proof of the King's sex ring for which he has been waiting." "Here it is, so to speak the 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 in Wahoo, Nebraska." "The hearing begins." "Alisha Owen is ready to testify." "So is Paul Bonacci." "But there was no sign of Troy Boner." "DeCamp discovers that Robert Siegler has sent the young man a subpoena." "Fearing arrest for perjury, Troy has gone into hiding." "DeCamp is without his most vital witness." "In court Alisha's case is adjourned." "The county attorney's office begins to search for Troy Boner." "But County Attorney Siegler won't say why." "Can I ask you whether you're about to charge Troy Boner with perjury?" "Oh no. [laughs]" "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." "Peter Citron lives in the same house were he abused many of his young victims." "Alan Baer lives in the most exclusive part of Omaha." "He recently bought a downtown shopping mall." "Many of the other abusers named by the children have risen within the Nebraska's state government and legal system and within the Republican Party." "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 bunch of drug peddlers." "They were protecting, in my opinion, they were protecting some very prominent politicians, some 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 the men who protected Larry King," "John DeCamp goes to Washington to investigate King's connections in the Republican Party and on Capitol Hill." "Paul Bonacci provides him with the evidence that Larry King threw child sex parties here at his rented $5000 a month Washington house." "I was about 14, about 1981." "At first it was about 3 or 4 times the first year." "After that it was about once a month." "Some of the parties when they started off were straight political tie parties." "No sex." "And then when some of the men 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 they started freaking out because of the drugs they were on, they could put them in a room that they couldn't get out of and they would lock them in." "What kind of drugs?" "Anything you wanted, cocaine, heroin, speed balls." "You're telling me those things were at these parties where you had Larry King and prominent politicians?" "Yes." "Where they readily available for anybody at the party?" "At the after-parties they were readily available for anybody." "Beforehand they did it more upstairs than anywhere else." "There was a kind of a back room." "Where any attempts ever made that you know of to expose this situation?" "As far as I know nothing has ever been done." "And most of the people that were in there they were even compromised." "King's partner was Washington Lobbyist, Craig Spence." "Spence took youngsters including Bonnacci on private midnight tours of the White House." " So you were in the White House then?" " Yes" "And how did you gain access?" "I came down with Larry King, but Craig Spencer is the one that arranged the trip for us." "And it was a kind of a gift for services we were doing." "How many times where 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?" "Not till after we left." " After you left the White House?" " Yes." "What time at night?" "It was usually around midnight." "It was really weird being in the White House at that time at night." "Even be going to places that the guy was telling us that nobody gets to go to." "We were seeing rooms in there" "I never even heard about." "Craig Spence and Larry King had a couple of groups." "One was called 'bodies by god' and they had the call boys." "And there was another group that was started by Larry King which is called 'the golden boys' which was kids that were usually under the age of approximately 10." "Spence's call boy network was investigated in 1989 by reporter Paul Rodriguez of "The Washington Times"." "We have uncovered a series of allegations from some minors that lead me to a callboy operation." "It sure fits with Paul Bonacci." "He tells a tale being brought to the White House on occasion kind of as a reward for the kid." "Craig Spence is dead." "He committed suicide." "He had advanced stages of AIDS." "He was an AIDS carrier and he killed himself." "This is the thing that always bothers me." "They claim it was the largest male prostitution ring in the city that they ever had uncovered, it was a million dollars business a year minimum." "And yet they only prosecuted the operator" "Henry Vincent and three of his lieutenants as it were." "They never went after any of the Johns - the clients." "This operation claimed to have clients that ran from the White House to the Capitol Hill, to the State House, to the Churches, and within the Media." "This is exactly what Paul describes as the people he was with." "And a lot of the stuff led there but we couldn't quite nail it in all cases because again, to accuse someone of high stature you have to be very careful." "Yes, I understand." "We were able to do it through the mother lode which provided us credit cards receipts and cancelled checks." "And then lists of the clients." "The prosecutors knew all the stuff." "There was approximately 20,000 documents they had." "They sealed the entire record by court order." "And we have tried, we have 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 is in those records." "Yeah." "John DeCamp believes that the legal system is still being subverted and that the people protected are still at the heart of the American establishment." "He hopes that this program will expose a serious miscarriage of justice but the opposition is formidable." "It's beyond 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 Regan 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 1." "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 Attorney General is now involved." "DeCamp's evidence has been passed by William Colby 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." "And 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 DeCamp the story of Larry King's corrupt empire holds a dire warning for all 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 truth falsehood, falsehood truth." "If you control the media, if you control the justice department, if you control the police - you own the system." "You have just viewed the rough edited copy of Conspiracy of Silence." "This tape was sent anonymously to Nebraska Attorney" "John DeCamp one year after all copies supposedly were destroyed." "Please help prevent child abuse from spreading by sending the link to this film to a person you know." "Thank you."
