But, never calling it a Homosexual ring. Or, in some rare but real cases, of pedophilia.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Homosexuals have been known throughout history as “after the kids”. Not really separate issues.
My understanding is they are made separate issues, by legal definition, and with differing criminal ramifications. Pertaining to Epstein, these definitions will All be on the court room table, or nearby, and potentially may lead anywhere. Pedo activities may yet surface. That would reshape the story. Who are Children vs adolescents vs teenagers vs under 21 vs underage.
In Rome, there is abject denial of any Homosexual problem, denying any address of it, and confining their Roman “synod action items” to Pedophilia, alone, where there are greatly fewer cases to ever be prosecuted. Think $$$$$. The Homo ring is appearing nowhere among the “action items”, yet.
SOme kids who are abused grow up to be strongly against anyone who hurts children but unfortunately too many grow up to become groomers and abusers themselves.
