“Big arguments followed as often happens on a controversial thread but it made me think.”
OK, something to think about..
All/most of these girls were 16 yrs or older.
I haven’t seen any credible charge forcible rape.
It would be my guess that most of the male FReepers here had (or at least tried to) engaged in sex with girls under 18 when they were in their teen years.
Other than the age of the one doing the boinking and exchange of money, what is the difference?
I agree with all you write but do not understand your last line.
Most of the Freepers engaged in sex when they were under 18, as you argue.
So Epstein’s “boinkers” as you call them, are older than 18 and money was paid.
How is this different than a 16 year old boy managing to get in his date’s pants one night?
Not sure of your point.
THAT!....is the difference......Statutory rape.
legal v illegal. Under age of consent = no lawful consent = rape
Most of these young girls are kidnapped by cartels and sold into the sex trade. It is nothing more than slavery which the Dems pretend to be against.
