Adelphi Academies was a private children's school in Florida owned by a wealthy individual named [[Peter Bradford]]. The school functioned as a conduit for trafficking boys from [[New Orleans|New Orleans, Louisiana]] to Florida for sexual exploitation and child pornography production. [[Richard Halvorsen]] and [[Raymond Woodall]], who had previously worked at Adelphi Academies, moved to [[New Orleans]] in the early 1970s and were approved as juvenile probationary officers. They used these positions to access and in some instances reactivate case files on juvenile offenders to leverage against their families in scholarship offers for their boys to attend the Adelphi Academy in Florida. At least six boys from [[New Orleans]] were trafficked to Florida in this way, where they were used for sex and pornography.[^1] The academy's owner [[Peter Bradford]] was charged in [[New Orleans]] rather than Florida, which allowed him to pay for his crimes in money instead of time by forfeiting his bond and returning home where he faced no charges. The arrangement between [[Peter Bradford|Bradford]]'s prosecution jurisdiction and his Florida base ensured that the Florida side of the trafficking operation went uninvestigated.[^1] ### Adelphi Tours and Tour Guide Service In 1976 detectives also investigated a side operation set up by [[Raymond Woodall|Woodall]] and [[Robert Lang]], which supplied out-of-state politicians with male prostitutes through a tour guide service called Adelphi Tours. The service, which one of the operators said was also named simply "Tour Guide Service" (TGS), was owned and operated by [[Raymond Woodall]] and [[Robert Lang]]. Customers of the service allegedly included at least two US congressmen, a US senator, other politicians from around the country, and a Protestant clergyman from Texas. The congressmen and senator were not from Louisiana. Boys from [[Troop 137]] were used in this operation, and several of the boys had been originally introduced to those men by local artist [[John Reed Campbell]].[[New Orleans]] detectives who investigated Adelphi Tours said they were prevented by US postal authorities from accessing the PO box used to facilitate it. Police who worked the case said they were stonewalled after postal authorities refused to allow them to open the mail. Detectives heard there was a list kept of clients but could never get their hands on it.[^1] ### Footnotes [^1]: Dovey, S. (2023). *Eye of the Chickenhawk*. United States: Thehotstar.
