First time I have seen this article, which is quite good.
It confirms much of what I have been saying for years.
The avalanche of new claims started AFTER Epstein died, in 2019.
The plaintiffs were never required to testify in public, or testify under oath and the threat of perjury.
The unpleasant truth is that most or all of these under age females were experienced prostitutes, and Epstein understood the law.
Epstein would ask each of them if they were 18 years old.
If they said younger, he would not have sex with them.
If they said yes, he would pay them the market rate for massage sex, in cash.
If the case went to court, the under age female would have to admit she lied about her age and accepted a cash payment.
Also, the criminal charge against Epstein would be reduced if she lied about her age and accepted money.
Epstein was a bad person who had massage sex with dozens of under age females.
However, as far as I know, no one has ever proved he trafficked any under age women, or, that he paid anyone for sex after 2005.
