Odyssey Foundation

The Odyssey Foundation was the legal front entity for John David Norman's Odyssey Network trafficking operation, operating from Dallas, Texas.

The Odyssey Foundation was the legal front entity for John David Norman's Odyssey Network trafficking operation, operating from Dallas, Texas. The foundation was connected to Educational Foundation for Youth in Illinois, which derived tax-exempt status as a subsidiary of offshore companies. Through these front organizations, Norman operated a nationwide system of "sponsors" who provided housing for boys in exchange for sexual access, creating an interlocking web spanning multiple states. The Odyssey Foundation was linked to Francis Shelden's North Fox Island operation through shared sponsors and the Hermes newsletter.1
