Villain Crimes Tag!
Let's go with the main villains from What Lurks In The Hollow for this one. Again: given that this is a post about very, very bad people (after all they are the villains of this WIP) it will contain TWs for some pretty nasty things.
Rules: List all the real-world crimes your villains are guilty of committing!
Mayor Samuel Whitaker
Serial Killings/Multiple First Degree Murders (most of the victims were minors, ages 5-17, but some adults as well)
Demonic Rituals + Ritualistic Sacrifices of Human Beings
Ritualistic Torture, most notably the torture of a 15-year-old (Jace Donovan, Savvanah Hahn's stepbrother who went missing kidnapped by a "mysterious psycho" was actually held captive by the Mayor himself, and only died 6 days later to bloodloss + ritualistic stabbings, his body was never recovered)
Multiple accounts of kidnapping
Abuse of Power, Corruption
Fraud/Embezzlement
Sending his henchmen to vandalize and damage property belonging anyone who stands in his way

Using Dark Magic to maintain influence over an entire town, gain longevity and make people adore him through the power of his venomous words

Persistent Stalking
Breaking and Entering
Defamation/Slander/Libel
Emotional Manipulation (Gaslighting/Blackmailing/Threatening)
Indecent Contact/Unwanted Touching
Damaging of Property
Intimidation of a Minor (Mrs Draycott often implies to Amy, Dylan's 16-year-old sister, that Dylan is gonna get hurt if he keeps being "stubborn" and that he is already an outcast to the town so no one would care if something happened to him or Amy herself)
