While many have never heard of it, The Franklin Cover Up is one of the most disturbing cases of our lifetime. It involved high powered individuals, from rising star politicians, future presidents, Chiefs of Police, School District Superintendents, and much much more. The man at the center of the Franklin Community Credit Union, Lawrence King, was the man running a prolific child sex ring that perpetrated sadistic abuse against its victims, as well as murder. Possibly the worst part? There were countless allegations made in thorough and disturbing detail by children detailing the most horrific of situations, all that corroborated one another and named the same perpetrators, and the police did nothing. Time and time again, these young victims were discredited, and some of them even punished harsher than their alleged abusers by the court for "perjury".The levels of corruption that must take place in order for abuse on this scale to go unpunished is a truly frightening revelation. Join us as we begin our coverage on this most disturbing of cases you've never heard of.
