Charles Humphrey Keating Jr. (born December 4, 1923) is an American athlete, lawyer, real estate developer, banker, and financier, most known for his role in the savings and loan scandal of the late 1980s.
In 1958, Charles Keating founded Citizens for Decent Literature (later renamed a number of times, the best known of which is Citizens for Decency through Law),[11] which advocated reading classics not "smut."[22] It would grow to 300 chapters and 100,000 members nationwide and become the largest anti-pornography organization in the nation.[22]
