The investigation into Craig Spence led to the discovery of the Franklin Scandal in Omaha, Nebraska, involving Republican activist Larry King. King operated a sham credit union that served as a front for a child sex abuse ring with ties to the Reagan administration and Iran-Contra figures like Oliver North. The network also involved Max Hugel of the CIA and business dealings with Neil Bush, brother of George W. Bush.

The Franklin Scandal centers on an interstate pedophile network that transported children across the United States to be abused by wealthy and powerful individuals. The operation utilized the Franklin Federal Credit Union in Omaha, Nebraska, as a financial front for its activities. Investigations suggest the network was protected by a cover-up involving the Department of Justice, the FBI, and the Secret Service.
