Child Sex Rings in the United States (Conspiracy Theory)

Overview.

Sextrafficking where it concerns young children in the United States surrounding the rich and powerful continue to be considered largely a conspiracy, regardless of victim testimonies. Whether evidence of child sex trafficking provided to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) from a credible source gets investigated or not is inconsistent. For this reason child sextrafficking in the United States is largely considered to be of conspiracy theory in nature as in the case of the Franklin Coverup (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franklin_child_prostitution_ring_allegations) that propertedly involved young orphan boys that were transported to Washington D.C and abused by various Congressmen.

In popular culture.

A documentary created by Yorkshire TV, called "Conspiracy of Silence (May 2003) provides extensive interviews from men who state that they were victims of the child trafficking that was enabled by a Catholic priest whereas children as young as 10 years of age were taken to Washington D.C. to be sexually assaulted and abused by a variety of law makers, Congressmen and politicians, but which was later deemed to be a "carefully crafted hoax" by a federal Grand Jury . Events surrounding the accused politicians, elected officials, and a priest by several testimonies of male victims and eye-whittnessed accounts were later described in the book by John W. DeCamp, "The Franklin Cover-up: Child Abuse, Satanism, and Murder in Nebraska". . The documentary "Conspiracy of Silence" by Yorkshire TV was originally scheduled to be aired on the Discovery Channel in May 1994 but was pulled by the network due to political pressure from an unnamed Congressman.

Critics.

The PhD Baylor University scholar, Philip Jenkins, and author of the article "The Myth of the Pedophile Priest” (March 2003) has written critically in broad terms about accusations of child abuse at the hands church clergymen and priest, where later the victims recant testimony, but which does not address victims that recant testimony due to fear and intimidation.
