Send us a textIn this episode of Crude Acts, host Jen Schaffer uncovers the disturbing story of Houston music producer Roy C. Ames—a man whose career in Texas blues and R&B masked a massive child-exploitation network operating in the shadows of the 1960s and 1970s. Jen follows Ames’ early ties to Dean Corll, the FBI investigations he escaped, and the shocking warehouses filled with tons of illegal material that revealed the scale of his trafficking enterprise.Jen also exposes the darker side of Houston’s music scene through figures connected to Ames, including producer Huey P. Meaux, repeatedly tied to the abuse of minors, and Charlie Booth, who used industry access to transport vulnerable teens. Their stories reveal how the music business, organized crime, and institutional neglect enabled predators to operate for decades.Part 4 of The Syndicate highlights the hidden networks behind the Houston Mass Murders and shows how power, money, and influence shielded dangerous men from accountability. As Jen unravels these connections, she sets the stage for Part 5, where she will examine the victims of Dean Corll and the theories linking him to the broader trafficking operation.A must-listen for fans of true crime, Texas history, and investigations into systemic abuse and cover-ups.Support the showCheck out our websitewww.crudeacts.comSee videos of the content on our YouTube channel@CrudeActsSupport the show by clicking https://www.buzzsprout.com/1935432/support
