Unmasking the Shadows: The Boston Child Sex Trafficking Scandal of the 1970s

Deep Dark Secrets - A podcast by Deep Dark Secrets

The underbelly of Boston's history harbors a grim tale that we, Amy Smith and Ladonna Humphrey, bring to light: the exposure of a 1970s child sex trafficking ring, a saga of betrayal where community pillars became predators. With the innocence of local boys as their currency, 24 men—lawyers, pediatricians, and even a judge—shattered trust and exploited the vulnerable in unspeakable ways. Our latest episode pulls back the curtain on the disturbing evidence and systemic failure that allowed such travesties to be masked by the guise of civil rights. As we reveal the hard truths from court records and confront the false narratives spun by those in power, it's more than just a history lesson—it's a battle cry for vigilance and justice. These 64 boys, some as young as 8, were not participants in a misunderstood social movement; they were the victims of monstrous acts of pedophilia cloaked in deception. Join us in a sobering conversation that not only honors the truth but also ignites the imperative to protect the most defenseless among us from such predatory evils. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/deepdarksecretspodcast/support
