Before Epstein was the Franklin Cover-Up, before that the Finders and long before that the Cleveland Street Scandal. Pedogate Primer is a concise intro and overview of a growing child abuse epidemic worldwide. It features shocking instances of institutional and organizational pedophilia throughout history. Churches, cults, the world of arts and entertainment, the government, NGOs, charities and major corporations are complicit or culprit in many instances. Pedogate Primer delves into material that for many may seem like the stuff of conspiracy theory. For this reason the book draws on academic sources, declassified documents and other reliable sources and steers clear of conjecture. Such shocking, true stories need no embellishment.
