This was a very high-profile case, yet one that Janet Waco just couldn't be bothered to investigate. Read The Power to Harm:

Not just "bothered to investigate", its worse than that.

Janet Waco was lead prosecutor in Miami, Florida in the '80's and was involved in several fraudulent sex crime witch trials. In fact, during her tenure in Miami, Janet Reno had not only succumbed to the hysteria of the child-abuse panic of the 1980s, she had reveled in it. For example, the prosecution of Frank Fuster was one of the first successful "ritual abuse" cases, and Reno's work on it--intimidation, coercion, and all--would become a national model for gaining convictions.

She was an extremely malevolent lesbian activist/misandryst and is representative of the type of appointees we can expect , if there ever is a President Hitlery.

All those lives and families destroyed and none of the CPS scum involved have paid the slightest penalty.

i remember these cases quite well. dorothy rabinowitz covered this in the wall street journal, quite extensively. it was bizarre, and many people (often indigent or poorly represented, just like the salem witch trials) were accused by a very sick little girl whose guardian was a detective, as i recall, and always seemed to find a pedophile under every, well, bush.

There was a point at which Wenatchee was facing tens of millions of dollars in potential lawsuits and could not get insurance; I expected the place to get disincorporated.

The idea of ritual abuse cases with "recovered memories(TM)" as evidence started with the infamous McMartin case in LA and reached its ultimate expression in the cases in Wenatchee, Janet Reno's cases, and the case which Scott Harshbarger was involved in in Mass. Far as I can tell, Janet Reno's cases were the worst of the lot and it's absolutely astounding to me that she's never been sued over any of them; in fact one victim, Frank Fuster, is still rotting in a Flori-DUH prison for crimes which never happened from one of Reno's cases.

Her most famous case, that of decorated Florida policeman Grant Snowden, has been overturned by a federal appeals court after Snowden spent 13 years in prison.

In the case of Bobby Fijnje, an innocent 14-year-old boy was held without bond for 18 months and tried as an adult for more crimes which never happened. The family was told that unless they copped a plea, Bobby would be in an adult prison population and would be dead from AIDS within two years. A jury found Bobby innocent on seven of seven charges. One of Reno's henchmen, asked what had gone wrong with the prosecution on which 3 million dollars of the Dade County taxpayers' money had been spent, replied that they hadn't spent enough money; new charges were being drawn up the same night and the Fijnje family fled to Holland.

Fijnje's Father sent an incindiary letter to The NY Times upon learning of Reno's appointment to AG.

But the worst case of all was that of the Fusters.

Try reading through that story about Ileana Flores/Fuster. Torquemada and the inquisition didn't have anything on Janet Reno.
