In 1991 Henry W. Vinson 29 y.o. mortician and gay escort service owner was sentenced to federal prison. He had pleaded guilty to one count each of credit card fraud and conspiracy to violate the Racketeering, Influence and Corrupt Organizations Act.
"Yesterday's sentencing of Vinson, 29, of Williamson, W.Va., culminated a two-year investigation of the prostitution ring by the U.S. Secret Service, the Internal Revenue Service and District police. "
This was the call boy ring (known as Man-to-Man," "Jovan" and "Dreamboys." ) that supplied high echelon Washington insiders with male hookers , Among the high roller customers was Craig J. Spence who was involved in those midnight Reagan WhiteHouse sex romps in the West Wing with male prostitutes. Spence ran around with a 15 y.o. he introduced as his "son" but who was a male hooker.
"Others said Mr. Spence used "Reggie" to arrange other White House tours, including one that Mr. Spence took with a 15-year-old boy, whom he identified as his son Will.
That tour, according to former friends and associates of Mr. Spence, occurred June 29, 1988. The "son" had a Southern accent and was actually a male prostitute who provided sexual services for Mr. Spence and several male friends. "
At his sentencing, Vinson told the judge that "my behavior has certainly not been very complimentary. I'm sorry if I did hurt society." Vinson's lawyer, Greta Van Susterne, said the judge's decision would dampen efforts by prosecutors to gain cooperation from defendants. "You'd have to be crazy to cooperate when the whole point of such cooperation is to get something in return." Yes, that Greta Van Susterne.
(Currently besides being on Voice of America she has founded a Haitian orphanage: In 2012, an orphanage and school opened in Haiti called The Greta Home and Academy, which Greta and her husband helped found alongside Samaritan's Purse. She and her husband are Scientologists but apparently Billy Graham's sons who run the Samaritan Purse don't care.)
"In an apparent contradiction, Mr. Strasser sought a waiver from federal guidelines but in a separate sentencing memorandum called for a harsh sentence because the prostitution ring was cavalier about the spread of the AIDS virus." When Spence was found a suicide in a Boston hotel room in 1989, AZT bottles were in the room.
Post prison, in 2015 Vinson wrote a book "Confessions of a DC Madam". He's also " a newly-minted lawyer and intends to leverage his considerable communication skills to benefit his clients."
Too bad some of those teen male hookers that came down with AIDS aren't around to write money making exposes and attend law school.

Are you sure Henry Vinson was involved in providing children? He denies it and claims that his escorts were all adults who could consent. It is, of course, possible that he's lied to make himself look better. But Craig Spence was willing to provide his party guests with any prostitute they wanted -- man, woman, boy, or girl -- and he certainly had other sources of prostitutes (including Larry King). Maybe Vinson only supplied adult male prostitutes and Spence got children from elsewhere, such as King's network.

Craig Spence is dead. Vinson is alive and possibly revising history. Police found credit card history showing Spence paid Vinson's callboy ring not the other way around. The police were focused among other things in their investigation of Vinson's multiple call boy rings on child sex abuse. Given Vinson's later record of losing his coroner job by harassing his competition and allegedly marrying/ consorting with a doctor who ran a West Virginia opioid pill mill, I don't know how much credibility he has now even with his lawyer license. The prosecuting atty went on record as criticizing the Vinson callboy ring as callous toward the spread of HIV to its customers. Maybe Vinson was ethical in some areas and not in others?
But you're correct. I should revise the title of my story to "Alleged" Child Pimp.
