Subject: Ritual Crime From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Mon, 22 Jul 1996 06:58:17 UTC Another example regarding the FBI & for those who ask "where's the evidence?" I would like to know where the FBI is keeping all the pornographic pictures/evidence which could substantiate children's claims all over the country that they were ritually abused and photographed. The official stance: "There is no evidence of a conspiracy." No? I'm typing in two newspaper articles: *The Boston Herald, Monday, March 11, 1991 Parents Eye Porn-ring link Two Cape Cod couples who claim their children were molested and filmed by child ponographers will today ask authorities for permission to view videotapes confiscated during a New Hampshire raid of an alleged kiddie porn ring. "This is the best chance we've had in three years to get some evidence," said the mother of one 12-year old, who first revealed his role as a victim in a child pornography ring in 1988. The parents said a March I raid by the New Hampshire U.S, Attorney which resulted in the arrest of three suspected pornographers "may be the break we need" to get authorities interested in their case. The parents decided to ask federal officials for permission to view the videotapes after noticing similarities between their children's stories and information released by FBI agents probing the New Hampshire operation. "(Our) children have talked about pregnant women being tortured, children being kidnapped, they've talked about Satanisn. They've talked about Providence, New Bedford and New Hampshire," said one mother. "I'm interested in knowing how many of these things match up with the New Hampshire case." Three men, Wayne H. Bailey. 56, of Fairhaven, an audio technician for a Providence, R.I., television station; Brian K. Schultz, 44, a Barrington, N.H., man who allegedly produced kiddie porn; and Mark Colen, from Brooklyn, Conn., an alleged pornographic filmmaker were arrested March 1 by FBI agents in New Hampshire and charged with running a major child pornography operation. Investigators said videotapes recovered In searches of the men's homes and businesses reveal pregnant women being tortured, children being molested by adults, and child pornography with "Satanic" inferences. The children in the Cape Cod case claim the perpetrators, posing as relatives would take them during school hours to nearby homes where they were sexually abused and filmed engaging in sex acts with other children, adults and animals. Their families, who did not want their names used said they have tried to interest Massachusetts authorities in their case since 1988 but were rebuffed by police, the FBI, the local district attorney's office and U.S. Postal Inspectors. The children were interviewed on several occasions by former Attorney General James Shannon's office but their case was never officially investigated. "When we first started on this, we had no idea law enforcement would be this way. We thought every- body would be as outraged as we were," noted one mother, saying she doesn't understand why Massachusetts authorities have not investigated the children's allegations despite two reports substantiating their claims. Reports from the Children's hospital sexual abuse team and the Department of Social Services which were obtained by the Herald, confirm the children were the victims of ritualized sexual abuse. "I want law enforcement to take a true interest in this," said another mother whose four children, ages 7, 9, 11 and 12, were allegedly abused at the hands of child pornographers. "These kids are talking about too many things they shouldn't know about at this age. 'They talk about people they shouldn't know and the inter-relationship with those people. There are too many coincidences and too many unanswered questions.' A report on one of the children filed by the sexual abuse treatment team at Children's hospital in Boston obtained by the Herald found the child's story of ritualized sexual abuse "is highly consistent with that of a child who has experienced chronic physical and sexual abuse involving Satanic rituals." The report also states the details of his revelations are very similar to those of other reported cases, "which serves to further support the credibility of his disclosures." Tom Smith, spokesman for Attorney General L. Scott Harshbarger, declined comment on the case. The parents, who have since moved from, the Cape Cod Community where the alleged abuse reportedy occured, said that despite the lack of an official probe, they are not giving up on their attempts to have their children's allegations investigated. ******** *Boston Herald* March, 18, 1991 Cape parents want porn case reopened The parents of a Cape Cod boy who says he was victimized by a child pornography ring yesterday said they want authorities to reopen an investigation because new evidence corroborating their son's accusations has surfaced. A yearlong probe into the alleged ring was dropped by the Cape and Islands District Attorney in 1989 due to lack of evidence and because the alleged victim's parents stopped cooperating with investigators. But the parents, contacted at their home yesterday, said pornographic videotapes of children recovered during a raid in New Hampshire earlier this month have corroborated much of the child's story. "One thing they can't deny is that what my son said is true because now they have the tapes to prove it," said the boy's mother. The videotapes recovered in New Hampshire show children being forced to engage in sex with other youngsters and adults, pregnant women being tortured and children being forced to commit unnatural acts. Almost three years ago the boy, now 12, told investigators of similar incidents on Cape Cod. But Don Carpenter, the first assistant district attorney who handled the Cape Cod investigation, told the Cape Cod Times that "nothing to date indicates there is evidence to corroborate what was reported originally." Carpenter did not return phone calls yesterday. The boy's parents said they stopped cooperating with Cape investigators after Carpenter told them their son had "fantasized" the events, despite a report from a team of psychologists at Children's Hospital in Boston indicating that the boy had been the victim of ritualiized sexual abuse. The parents said they are also upset that Carpenter recommended probation for another man who pleaded guilty to molesting a 9 yr. old girl in Sandwich just months after their own son claimed the man had molested him. "We just can't understand why no one is reponding," said the mother, who has since moved with her family out of the community where the alleged abuse occured. Peter Papps, the first assistant U.S. attorney, in New Hampshire, said although he has not heard of a Cape Cod connection in the case, his office has not ruled out that possibility since the ring is believed to have operated throughout New England. Last week, the boy's family asked the U.S. attorney's office for permission to look at the videotapes to see if their son is among the victims. They have not, however, received an answer. Another Cape couple, who claim their four children were abused at the hands of the same child pornographers, said last week they also asked the FBI for access to the tapes. **************
