As crooked as the NYPD was in the 1970's, they would not turn their eye on kiddie porn or child prostitution. Millions of pole passed through 42nd street back then, it would have been shut down immediately. The news would have been all over it. Besides, how many people are sick enough for that stuff?
You're talking out both sides of your mouth here, the police were crooked enough to collude with the FBI to murder Joe Colombo but not so corrupt as to turn a blind eye to underage prostitution. Remember Jodie Foster in Taxi Driver, that was all over the city back then and while I didn't see them walking with any mobsters they were working out of venues like Sex World that were owned by Mafioso's like Roy DeMeo.
No, you are avoiding the facts.
Unfortunately you haven't produced any credible facts at all, only your unsupported opinion. Why don't you post something to prove your allegations instead repeating the same baseless claims.
I don't think the police were in on Columbo's killing, unless top echelon cops were. however any street cop would not put up with it. Easy enough for you to understand? All the detectives working Times Square and elsewhere were not going to turn a blind eye to child molesters
"Stonewall quickly became a popular destination in the gay community—even something of an institution. It was the only place where gay people could openly dance close together, and for relatively little money, drag queens (who received a bitter reception at other bars), runaways, homeless LGBT youths and others could be off the streets as long as the bar was open.
To operate its gay bars, the Mafia greased the palms of the NYPD. “Fat Tony,” for one, paid New York’s 6th Precinct approximately $1,200 a week, in exchange for the police agreeing to turn a blind eye to the “indecent conduct” occurring behind closed doors."

That's your unqualified opinion and you have nothing to support this accusation so it is meritless and carries no weight.
"Porn has always been around, and likely always will be. Sadly so will perverts who molest kids. However you are so hell bent on making the some mobsters seem worse, are throwing in child molesting, So are a few others here and on the internet. If that does not work, who knows what is next? "Again, if the Mafia was running child porn or trafficking minors out of The Stonewall, or Times Square, they would have been clobbered but the cops, and busted by the feds. In fact they would have went after anyone doing it, even an informant would not get away with it. But go ahead, make up your own history. Find quacks who lied in interviews and out what they said and claim it's proof."
"Robert DiBernardo, a reputed captain in the Gambino crime family and a key target of a Federal investigation into child pornography, is missing, authorities said yesterday.
The Nassau County police have issued a nationwide bulletin for information about Mr. DiBernardo, who is said to have been a close associate of the slain Gambino crime boss, Paul Castellano."
https://www.nytimes.com/1986/06/14/...icer-reported-missing-for-past-week.htmlI don't pick and choose anything, there's a plethora of information on numerous made men's involvement in the Sex trade, underage prostitution and child pornography distribution. Do your research before you baselessly accuse others of misrepresenting the facts without ever posting anything factually correct to support your state8. Keep talking and I'll continue to break down your statements to the factually incorrect drivel that is.
