### Role in Prosecutions
Harry Connick prosecuted the boy prostitution ring involving [[Troop 137]] in New Orleans, leading to the arrests of [[Richard Halvorsen]], [[Raymond Woodall]], and [[Robert Lang]] after discovery of child pornography films in Dallas. A witness in the case testified that Connick received sexual favors from boys in exchange for leniency in their cases. The prosecution resulted in convictions for the scout leaders, but Connick's office faced allegations of cover-up in related child abuse cases.[^1]
