Framed: In response to a plea by his social worker wife James Brooke an electrical engineer and tech company owner in Cambridge took a 13-year-old boy under his wing. The boy exuding anger at the loss of his father was proving a handful for his divorced mother. The father, a wealthy entrepreneur based in London, had divorced his wife leaving her with three children, not exactly destitute, but in straitened circumstances. Brooke became attached to the boy and treated him almost as his third son. The father, a social climber, who married his secretary, was angered by what he saw and contrived a spurious case against Brooke that resulted in the latter’s imprisonment. Brooke’s lawyer, with the help of a sympathetic police officer, was able to obtain sufficient evidence to have the conviction overturned and Sir Charles Bailey himself imprisoned against a variety of charges.
