The Epstein case - how many famous men had sex with young children?

I mean, how can a woman knowingly traffic young children for sex?

She can't. She can only traffic them for rape.

You can start making a change by stopping to minimise things and using the factual words. Especially after having been called out on this on this thread already.

I think the only thing we can do is keep shining a bright light into the darkness

What can we do about it?

Speak out and inform. There's not much else you can do.

Reading this, although I knew it went on anyway, makes me want to get the hell off this planet with my children. It deeply affects me, so so awful. What can we do about it?

This is going to get messy quickly.

Very messy & very quickly!

The US Attorney General has recused himself from the case because he once worked for a law firm that represented Epstein.

So this is Trump's Attorney General distancing himself. Remembering that Trump was a close friend of Epstein too.

This is going to get messy quickly.

@DpWm It is Little Saint James Island.

More than one or two beknighted pop stars you can think of, who seem to get a free pass.

Frank Sinatra who abused the underage Natalie Wood.

But please spare a thought for the Glitter Band, who despite being entirely innocent have seen their records banned for no other reason that the insistence of the tabloid press not to use Paul Gadd's real name.

Can we please, please, please call this what it is: rape? Referring to it as “having sex with” makes it sound consensual
👏
This term ' having sex' ( with a minor)is widely used in the media. It devalues the severity of the crime. Same with the term ' child prostitute'.

Bill Clinton flew on it dozens of times and everyone knew. No one gave a fuck because he was a charismatic Democrat.

Jenny Holzer.

I read an article about Bill Clinton's flights on Epstein's so-called "Lolita jet" (the phrase stuck in my memory) several years ago. It's well known and very unpleasant that they have only chosen to take action now.

The Miami Herald is going to town on this and worth following if you have an interest in seeing corruption brought to justice. But please be careful of repeating any allegations on here - remember UK libel laws are some of the harshest in the world, and one of the people allegedly involved comes from a family renowned for using libel laws to shut down any criticism or investigation.

It comes as no surprise to me. Poor women and children are regarded as nothing more than live stock. The way his case was handled is dispicable.

See recent brilliant article by DrEM which joins the dots:

I remember that

I remember reading on here a while ago about some island that rich people could go to to abuse children. I thought it was bonkers, but it looks like it may be true. The island belongs to Epstein.

Once there's an ability to cover up, confidence that the law can be made to look the other way, opportunity, and entitlement, then putting that together with a latent tendency, which I think is common but often suppressed, I start to wonder how prevalent the abuse of children must be among rich and powerful men.

Like ReturnofSaturn says, I think there are a large number of men who have a sexual interest in children. Many of these are deterred by the laws and the stigma. But once these are removed, look what happens. For example the explosion in the number of men looking at images of the sexual abuse of children who will have a belief they won't be caught and believe they are anonymous. Or the case of Epstein, confident that what he does can be covered up and if it isn't, then confident that his money will buy him immunity from the law.

Can we please, please, please call this what it is: rape? Referring to it as “having sex with” makes it sound consensual.

Sometimes I get a horrible feeling it's something a lot of men would do if there wasn't the stigma.

It's in the news all the time, men raping babies and toddlers
