Roy Albert DeMeo was born in 1942 in Brooklyn, New York into a working class Italian immigrant family. As a kid DeMeo grew up on the same block as crime boss Joseph Profaci and often played with Profaci's sons. In his teenaged years he began a small loan sharking operation which turned into a full time job by the age of 17. DeMeo graduated High School in 1959 and began working seriously in criminal enterprise while maintaining legitimate business practices. He married and fathered three children, and worked his way up the criminal career ladder, first with car-theft, loansharking, then through pornography. Much of DeMeo's enterprise is still clouded in suspicion today because many of the witnesses who could have testified to his crimes were already dead. The few that did report on his crimes are those suspected of acting in his killing.
