And every time they talk about this on the news when I'm at work, I have to remind co-workers that minors under the age of consent cannot consent! "Oh, but she agreed to it." Nope. "But she got paid!" Means nothing. "She knew what she was doing!" And so did Epstein (and R Kelly, and anyone else.)

I remember when the left was trying to lower age of consent laws to be more in line with Europe. I guess that's dead in the water.
Apropos of nothing in particular since Epstein and co. were obviously dodgy and there was a large element of coercion at play.

Apropos of nothing in particular since Epstein and co. were obviously dodgy and there was a large element of coercion at play. I can't possibly see that going over well in this climate. I do think there are issues with the age of consent. First off, it varies from state to state. What is perfect legal in one is rape in another? Yikes. Then there are cases where one person is 17 and the other is 19. Should their ages alone realistically have any legal consequence there? Age should be an important factor in cases, but there are plenty of other factors to consider too.
But yeah, it bears little relevance here. This seems like pretty clear prostitution and trafficking.

Believe me, i am not minimizing or trivializing Epstein's pedo crimes (he deserves to rot for that alone), but that is just icing on the cake. This has come up (again) in the course of a wider investigation that isn't even about Jeffrey Epstein, per se. (Think Trump; think New York state). Follow the money trail. That's what this is really about. Yes. I hope Epstein isn't treated like some sort of lone wolf gone wrong - there's something much bigger here. Fascinating that nobody can seem to remember trading/investing with him yet he's a billionaire. Perhaps his only trade was blackmail.

This is not a "left vs right" thing.
This is the upper class getting away with shit because they are loaded with money, and they have the political class in their pockets.
No war but class war.

Vic Berger videos are one of the few good things to come out of this presidency.

Right. Regardless of what you think the age of consent should be is irrelevant to the fact that he broke the law and should be held to the same standards that a poor black male would be held to. But he won’t
