Richard C. Jacobs - Lewis Sialle was one of the founders of Boy Scout Troop 137, which was busted as a nation-wide child prostitution procurement ring; he was promised consideration of his sentencing to testify against the other Troop 137 members, which he did.
Sialle testified in detail about years worth of SA against children within the Boy Scouts, with victims as young as 8-years-old. Lewis later pleaded guilty to two crimes against nature, and received a reduced sentence of only 7 years.
Richard C. Jacobs was a prominent millionaire who lived in Boston who was arrested during the Troop 137 investigation; he was given the most charges. However, New Orleans District Attorney, Harry Connick Sr. declined to ever reveal how the investigation exactly led to Jacobs or to any of the other men who lived in other parts of the country for that matter.John Campbell - A few years later in 1980, Harry Connick Sr. was assigned to the case of well-known New Orleans artist and undercover CP producer, John Campbell, dropping the charges against him. John Campbell's name was first mentioned during the Troop 137 trial by Lewis Sialle; he implicated in court that Harry Connick Sr. and Campbell were lovers. Harry Connick Sr. of course later denied these claims, but did admit that Campbell was a political supporter of his during his campaign. It was later revealed that Connick and Campbell met shortly after Campbell's home was raided by detectives during the Troop 137 investigation. Three days after the raid, Campbell fled from New Orleans. Harry Connick Sr. then subpoenaed the local Times-Picayune newspaper in order to obtain all materials they possessed related to his and Campbell's relationship. Then he tried the case when Campbell was out of state. Ten months after Campbell fled, more charges were filed against him, making him a fugitive. After he was picked up by the FBI years later in Arizona and brought back to New Orleans, his case was assigned to be handled directly by Harry Connick Sr. However, Harry Connick Sr. reassigned it to Assistant District Attorney Terry Allerkit after Campbell told a judge he had known Harry Connick Sr. for several years as a personal friend, a legal advisor and an active campaign supporter when Connick ran for office. After the case was transferred, that other district attorney dropped all remaining charges against Campbell, which gives even more validity to the possibility that Sialle's claims were true.
In November 1979, Raymond Woodall, who had been sentenced to 75 years in prison, sent a letter to the Times-Picayune newspaper regarding Adelphi Tours, which hadn't been made public about the case: ''The service started out using adults, but they began ripping off the customers.That's when Woodall said 'we could use the kids.' They'll get $50, a good meal, and all that jazz. The customers will enjoy themselves and everyone will be happy.''
New Orleans detectives confirmed they had investigated this tour guide and Connick's office was made aware of this, but they didn't pursue it in the past because the people involved had already been prosecuted on other charges, even though Raymond Woodall was given 75 years, Richard Halverson was given 30 years, Harry O. Kramer was given 45 years and Robert Lang was given none.
Gerard Jerry Howell - Gerard Jerry Howell was a former priest who was accused of the SA of 24 children. Handfuls of people have come forward over the years claiming that Gerald Jerry Howell SAd them while they were members of the Catholic Church at the Catholic Center for the Hearing Impaired that he started in 1967.
Kathy Austin and her sister, Darlene went public with their stories of Gerard Jerry Howell as far back as 1992, but the Archdiocese simply refused to remove him from ministry.
New Orleans Archbishop Philip Hannon reported Howell to Judge Harry Connick Sr. in 1980, but Connick never filed a single charge against him, even though there were multiple victims.
Dino Cinel - Catholic priest, Dino Cinel, was caught with CP, which he had produced, in his room at the rectory of St. Rita's Roman Catholic Church in New Orleans in 1988. Investigators found magazine articles about CP, graphic photographs of underage boys and homemade videos of Cinel abusing at least seven different boys, sometimes inside of the church building itself.
Despite this mountain of evidence, Harry Connick Sr. claimed that the case was too weak to prosecute. In 1990, Gary Raymond, an investigator for the district attorney's office, begged Harry Connick Sr. to prosecute Dino Cinel in a three-page letter that he personally wrote to him. When asked about when he was going to prosecute Dino Cinel, Harry Connick Sr. said: ''Never, as long as I'm the DA.''
Dino Cinel was later given a minor charge of possession of pornography, which was later dismissed on a technicality; he never faced justice from the state, but he was murdered while trying to abuse another child in a foreign country.
