Chapter Eleven

A Light in the Shadows

As I retreated from the maddening crowd at Richard’s apartment, I felt that the truth would eventually emerge about the sub rosa universe of blackmail and power politics that had swallowed me, even though I wasn’t quite sure if the truth would set me free or result in my premature demise. The government, or perhaps a very corrupt subgenus of the government, unquestionably had a vested interest in obscuring the truth. But the enterprise of Spence et al. was so vast that I thought it would be nearly impossible to cover up.

For example, the pedophile network operated by Spence and King was transcontinental in scope. Child welfare personnel in Nebraska attempted to expose the network, but their pleas were simply ignored by state law enforcement. A Nebraska senate subcommittee ultimately investigated King’s interstate exploitation of children. A rash of mysterious deaths, including the enigmatic death of the subcommittee’s investigator, followed in the wake of senators’ efforts, and both federal and state authorities would declare that King wasn’t involved in the abuse or pandering of a single child.

At the end of June, the truth indeed started leaking out via the Washington Times, which initially struck me as an unlikely wellspring for the truth, because of the newspaper’s archconservative bent, and its partisan support for the Bush administration. The Washington Times managed to obtain a cache of credit card vouchers that had been processed by Robert through Professional Services, and the credit card vouchers presented its reporters with a constellation of names. Various clients phoned me, and much to their chagrin relayed that Washington Times reporters had recently contacted them.

On June 29th, the Washington Times published a front-page article that focused on my escort service and also on Spence’s shenanigans. The banner headline read: “Homosexual Prostitution Inquiry Ensnares VIPs with Reagan, Bush.” And the headline was followed by a subheadline: “Callboys Took Midnight Tour of the White House.”

The article’s first sentence read: “A homosexual prostitution ring is under investigation by federal and District authorities and includes among its clients key officials of the Reagan and Bush administrations, military officers, congressional aides and U.S. and foreign businessmen with close ties to Washington’s political elite…” The article’s second paragraph discussed one of Spence’s “middle-of-the-night” tours of the White House. Although the article didn’t directly name Spence, it remarked that the tour’s host was a “high-profile client” of my escort service.

The Washington Times was certainly diverging from the government’s spin, because its reportage significantly deviated from the U.S. Attorney for D.C.’s stock response that the grand jury he impaneled in June to investigate me was primarily focusing credit card fraud and prostitution. In fact, the Washington Times article even mentioned that the U.S. Attorney for D.C., Jay Stephens, had a potential “conflict of interest” in his investigation of me due to the fact that he was the former deputy White House counsel to President Reagan, and the names of several of his “White House colleagues” were on the credit card vouchers.
