> their midst.  On Halloween of that year, three men were arrested--accused
of
> being part of a giant "sex ring."  There was no such ring, but the result
> was a widespread investigation which some people now call a witch hunt.
By
> the time the investigation ended 16 men were charged with sex crimes.
>
> The investigation attracted the attention of "Time Magazine" and
newspapers
> across America.  The subsequent publicity left scars which remain to this
> day.
