Great point, agree 101%.
With his endless flood of wealth and President-level bevvy of social contacts (grace a Ghistlane and Wexner) Epstein seemed the living embodiment of power and legitimacy.
Also, the fact of being in a private jet and being offshore and on island in the minds of many people "makes it okay".
A lot of non-lawyers might think there'd be no legal implications as "we're not in the USA under American law".
Lessay you're at a hump-fest and there you see freaking DERSHOWITZ; it's hard for me to imagine a more convincing example of jurisprudence:
I can imagine seeing him and maybe thinking, "Well, this unusual but amazing stuff MUST be okay, then..! Dig in..!"
There were no weapons or face-tat scum-bags, ergo OKAY.
At least many would THINK that.
