Seems like a malicious prosecution. It would be a shame if some U.S. Attorneys went to prison over this.
We are dealing with modern day COMPRACHICOS. And back in the day, they, too were protected by the “court” because they provided entertainment to the Royals. Victor Hugo wrote of this in “The Man Who Laughs.”
“Comprachicos are groups in European folklore who were said to physically cripple and deform children to work as beggars or living curiosities....The resulting dwarfed and deformed adults made their living as mountebanks and freak show performers or were sold into bondage as pages, jesters, or court dwarfs.”
