Pedophilia, human trafficking and rape used as a method for trauma based mind control are very prevalent in the higher echelons of politics and the occult. This is done for many reasons: ceremonies / rituals, sick twisted pleasure and as a means of controlling both the victim and the violator.
The media is controlled by the very same people involved in this sort of thing. Whenever I see a story like this blow up in the mainstream i think to myself "he must have really pissed his superiors off".
Thanks for bringing up a tough topic.
Yes, it's part of the control apparatus. He might have been sold down the river indeed.
