NAMBLA

NAMBLA (North American Man/Boy Love Association) was a United States-based organization that advocated for the normalization of sexual relationships between men and boys. Several NAMBLA members also belonged to Spartacus Club, the membership organization operated by John Stamford from Amsterdam. FBI and other federal law enforcement records identified John Stamford as a Club Spartacus official, and NAMBLA officials did not deny that several of the group's members belonged to Spartacus Club. Names of Westchester members of Spartacus Club were discovered along with thousands of other men and women in the London computers of John Stamford. Vital information on each member stored on computer and guarded with secret codes included their sexual preferences, the desired age of the children, and preferred country of origin. John Stamford's operation, aided through his association with Francis Shelden, extended all the way to the United States in affiliation with NAMBLA.¹

NAMBLA published an inside account of the relationship between Harry Connick and John Reed Campbell in New Orleans, in which a source close to Campbell recalled that Campbell had claimed he and Connick were lovers and that Campbell possessed photographic evidence. The Finders investigation documents referenced NAMBLA members in connection with suspected murder. The two Finders men found transporting six children in a van to Mexico carried a list of addresses that included one individual named in a case of NAMBLA members suspected of murder, and two named in John David Norman's Odyssey Network.¹
