All of this was known about before the Epstein files and it's sort of terrifying that absolutely nothing was done. And furthermore that everyone basically accepted a major paedophile had links to an underwear company whose target market was teenage girls and had a whole narrative about who "Victoria" was and a "type" of girl they wanted working in their stores.
The main thing to come out of the Epstein files is that Werner was named as a potential co-conspirator by the FBI in its initial investigation into Epstein but this was redacted in the initial files until a congressman granted access to the unredacted files named him. No-one should be surprised given everything that was already known that he was a suspected co-conspirator. What is "surprising" is the FBIs (under Kash Patel) claim that noone else was suspected of committing crimes/that Werner didn't have a case to answer.
People talk about the risk of assassination/dark arts etc and I'm sure that's a genuine fear for the victims. But the reason the media were scared to talk about people like Werner was basically just fear of getting sued. Because if you are rich you can do that. And he still isn't likely to face any consequences.
But sure, the aesthetics pushed at teenage girls and young women by companies like Victoria's Secret have absolutely nothing to do with the tastes of gross men. Women decide female beauty standards blah blah.
