In the years after he registered as a sex offender, Epstein was rarely alone. He was often accompanied by attractive young women in their late teens or 20s.

Come on now, let's be real, a lot of those were underage.

Well, I mean, he did stop. When he was murdered.

Pretty sure he was a CIA honey pot, so his circle definitely enabled him

[-] Nacktmull@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

Such a shame he conveniently killed himself ...

Billionaires don’t kill themselves, they get radical plastic surgery

All I can say is, I'm glad Jeff Epstein is dead and some of those who helped promulgate his sickness are in jail also. Far too many men get away with the abuse of women in this society. These men are all mentally ill, and they all need to be jailed for the remainder of their lifetimes.

I apologize, because this kind of sounds like a "not all men" comment, but I promise it's not meant to be. Unfortunately abuse is not just limited to being perpetrated by men, if I recall correctly Epstein famously had a female accomplice, who was apprehended and is serving time. Anyone perpetuating abuse is despicable and deserves our hate. I guess that goes without saying, however your use of "men" just stuck out in my mind and I wanted to make sure Ghislaine Maxwell and her ilk also get an equal amount of outrage directed at them.

Fuck all abusers and facilitators.

On 28 June 2022, Maxwell was sentenced to 20 years in prison

slap on the wrist

I don't know if I'd call 20 years a slap on the wrist, it is a significant chunk of time, but it is no where near enough for the shit they did. When I went to Wikipedia to double check my info and saw that was the sentence I was appalled that was all she got. They do all deserve a life sentence for what they did.

You're correct. My use of the phrase wasn't really appropriate.

Yeah this is one of the rare cases where it's absolutely fair to point out because it was an entire network with people from both genders participating or complicit in some way! We aren't discussing statistics, women were involved in these atrocities so it really would make more sense to be inclusive of all the abusers

Here's picture of her

The bottom b*tch is almost always a woman.

And one of them was a Bill Gates. Do not let Bill forget.
