Dyer Grossman served as a key figure in child exploitation networks during the 1970s. He associated closely with [Francis Shelden](/people/francis-shelden/) in establishing organizations for child procurement. He operated through [The Church of New Revelation](/organizations/the-church-of-new-revelation/), a New Jersey-based entity created solely on paper to gain tax-exempt status for affiliated programs. Grossman hailed from a wealthy Long Island family and worked as a science teacher at an exclusive New York boarding school for boys.[^1]

### Role in Operations
Dyer Grossman co-drafted the incorporating charter for Brother Paul’s Children’s Mission after traveling to Michigan to meet [Gerald Richards](/people/gerald-richards/). This charter enabled the mission to function as a non-profit subsidiary of his fabricated church, facilitating the transport of boys to [North Fox Island](/places/north-fox-island/) for exploitation. Grossman corresponded with Richards on establishing foster homes in Michigan to house runaways and problem children for government payments, explicitly noting the financial benefits of such arrangements.[^1]

### Connections
Dyer Grossman connected directly with [Francis Shelden](/people/francis-shelden/) as a principal in Brother Paul’s Children’s Mission, both sought by state and federal authorities on criminal sexual conduct charges. He collaborated with [Adam Starchild](/people/adam-starchild/) in linking the mission to [The Church of New Revelation](/organizations/the-church-of-new-revelation/). Grossman procured a 12-year-old boy through a Big Brother program, describing him as innocent and planning camping trips to alter that status, while the church linked to operations at [Father Bud's Boys Farm](/organizations/father-buds-boys-farm/) run by [Cladius Vermilye](/people/cladius-vermilye/).[^1]
