Violet Exploited Teens

Violet Exploited Teens In an era ruled by sexual taboos, conjoined twins such as Violet and Daisy Hilton were often disdained or used as sideshow attractions in backroom pubs. But thanks to a creative strategy implemented by their manager, the girls managed to turn their differences into an opportunity for profit and turn them into careers.

Born of an unwed mother, these sisters were given to midwife Mary Hilton as her ticket to wealth. Mary began showing them off in her backroom sideshow and earning money by allowing visitors to gawk at them.

Ferdinand Morton’s score earned critical and commercial acclaim, and was nominated for an Academy Award nomination. However, it faced considerable controversy due to its depiction of child sexual exploitation and nude and semi-nude scenes starring Shields; furthermore it was heavily criticized for using an illegal soundtrack under the Protection of Children Act 1978 (later revised into Child Sexual Abuse Prevention Act) or with regards to its depiction of child sexual exploitation and nudism in its production.

Violet flees her brothel after being punished for engaging in “hijinks,” seeking refuge with Bellocq who agrees to accept her into his hospitality and foster a relationship with the young girl, acting in many ways like her parent. Bellocq photographs the women, such as Hattie, which capture Violet’s interest, leading them into sexually exploitative interactions that escalate quickly before becoming physically abusive; yet Bellocq is too powerful over his brothel to engage in legal battles regarding Violet’s rights; so when legal battles arises over Violet’s rights it goes nowhere fast enough compared with legal battles over Violet’s rights that court cases could ensue over Violet’s case.
