Bingo!! It's gotta be the guys. I just read the earlier thread and you and I sound almost prophetic. We knew it wasn't over. I wonder if this is linked to something even bigger.
Here's the PR for Michael Paul Martin of Troy, MO and Jose Carlos Garcia of Scherville, Indiana. Sounds to me that this was most definitely a child sex ring.

"According to the indictment, between January 1, 2008, and September 19, 2009, Martin induced three different minor children to engage in sexually explicit conduct so he could photograph them. He also is charged with receiving and possessing child *advertiser censored* during the same time period...."
and
"....This group was interested and involved in the exploitation of minor children, specifically underage boys. The fact a group of men can call themselves 'Boy Lovers' shows just how deranged child predators are, " said Mike Kaste, Assistant Special Agent in Charge of the FBI in St. Louis. "It is outrageous to describe sexually exploiting innocent children as love....."
The Troy, MO connection is correct as are the dates. The only thing that seems confusing is that they are trying Garcia of Indiana in Illinois. Is that common? Wait, got it. He traveled to Illinois to participate. The other two are being tried in Missouri. Notice Klopfenstine is not mentioned. I'll do some further checking. The school connection scares the putty out of me.
