In Amsterdam, the trade continued into the 1990s. [[Warwick Spinks]] managed boy brothels masquerading as gay nightclubs in the Spuistraat district, including the [[Gay Palace]]. Spinks was involved in mail order boy prostitution and pornography through the 1980s and 90s, pioneering the trafficking of boys as young as ten from the streets of London and, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, from Eastern Europe. Having brought them to Amsterdam, he used these "chickens" himself, sold them into brothels or through escort agencies, and put them in front of the camera. Some resisted, some ran away, but most were made to comply through the removal of their passports and doses of drugs and violence. Further allegations implicated prominent figures including members of the Dutch Royal family, with witnesses claiming they had been used as boy prostitutes during the 1980s. The callboy service called Bell Boys, operated by [[Karel Maasdam]], catered to Dutch justice officials and was linked to senior government figures whose names appeared in a rolodex kept by a professor serving as a go-between.[^1]
### Washington D.C. Political Networks
A contemporaneous but geographically separate case documented connections between child prostitution networks and senior Republican Party figures. The [[Franklin Credit Union Scandal]] emerged in 1988 with the collapse of the Franklin Community Federal Credit Union in Omaha, Nebraska, operated by [[Lawrence King Jr.]], a prominent Republican Party fundraiser. Allegations - which two grand juries in 1990 found unsubstantiated - connected King to a network reaching Washington D.C. through lobbyist [[Craig Spence]]. Spence's White House access and connections to an escort service were independently documented by the Washington Times in June-November 1989, including a confirmed 1 a.m. White House tour with male prostitutes. The documented Washington connection between King and Spence rests on contemporaneous journalism rather than criminal proceedings; Spence died in November 1989, ruled a suicide.[^2]
