	But this time there was a surprise. On December 9, 1977, members of the radical Fag Rag collective formed the Boston/Boise Committee (B/BC) to defend the rights of the accused men as well as the boys. Boise was a reference to a similar witch hunt that had occurred in Boise, Idaho in 1955, when hundreds of gay men, including many prominent citizens, were arrested for sex crimes with teenagers, about which John Gerassi wrote in ''The Boys of Boise''.

	None of the defendants in the case went to jail. Garrett Byrne was defeated in 1978 by an assistant district attorney named Newman Flanagan. Byrne had assumed that most of the defendants would accept a plea to avoid negative publicity and jail, but to his surprise the vast majority wanted a trial, and all those trials would stress the resources of the county. Only one case actually went to trial: Dr. Donald Allen was charged with four counts of fellating a fifteen-year-old male hustler. Although he was ultimately convicted, the judge sentenced him to just five years probation - a signal to the other defendants, most of whom settled with a plea bargain and received light probation.

	<div style="margin-right: 25px; float: left;">__TOC__</div>On December 8, 1977, Garrett Byrne, district attorney (DA) from Suffolk County, which includes all of Boston and three smaller surrounding communities in Massachusetts, called a press conference to announce the indictment of 24 men on multiple charges of statutory rape involving [[boy\|boys]] ages eight to thirteen. He said the men had allegedly lured the boys with marijuana, money, and games, and then raped and photographed the victims. He also claimed the men were part of a [[sex ring]] that was just the "tip of the iceberg" and that there would be more indictments as the investigation progressed. ~~[http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_hb3491/is_/ai_n28983901]~~		<div style="margin-right: 25px; float: left;">__TOC__</div>On December 8, 1977, Garrett Byrne, district attorney (DA) from Suffolk County, which includes all of Boston and three smaller surrounding communities in Massachusetts, called a press conference to announce the indictment of 24 men on multiple charges of statutory rape involving [[boy\|boys]] ages eight to thirteen.

	The extensive media coverage never questioned the accused men's guilt or Garrett Byrne's assertions, but instead vilified the defendants and published their pictures, names, and addresses despite the constitutional presumption of innocence. The 24 men indicted by Garrett Byrne came from all walks of life, from a bus driver to the headmaster of a prestigious prep school. To say that their lives were shattered by the indictments would be an understatement. Most lost their jobs, many lost their families, and all lost their reputations from the media coverage.

	Seventy-five people were present at the offices of Gay Community News a few days after the arrests for an emergency meeting called by the B/BC. An assistant district attorney, Thomas Dwyer, agreed to meet with three members of the B/BC to discuss the group's demands, including the resignation of Garrett Byrne and an end to the Hotline. But the DA refused both, so on December 15, 1977, about thirty people demonstrated in City Hall Plaza and then marched directly to the DA's office and confronted Assistant DA Dwyer, but once again Byrne refused to end the hotline. Finally, the B/BC took the matter to court. Knowing the court would have restrained them, the DA's office announced they had voluntarily discontinued the Hotline, making the case moot. ~~[http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_hb3491/is_2_10/ai_n28983901/pg_2]~~		Seventy-five people were present at the offices of Gay Community News a few days after the arrests for an emergency meeting called by the B/BC.
