Wow so many pedo apologizers in the comments.

My online friend lists have been through the chopping block recently, a good society must have intolerance for the intolerant and devious.

There's zero excuse for an adult to sexually assault a child, or to have known and kept the secret.

not everyone who ever interacted with Epstein was/is a pedophile.

he had a broad network of various levels of social gatherings and sex parties. not all of them were pedo parties. the majority were not.

the notion that anyone who ever interacted with him in anyway is a pedophile or pedophile supporter is an incredibly broad and stupid approach. there are various levels of participation and interact with him. he clearly had an inner circle, an outer circle, and then 10000s of tangential connections with various people. hopefully with more disclosure of the files who is who will become apparent.

punish the guilty who committed crimes. not their associates. guilt by association is cognitive bias that seeks to punish innocent people for merely being in proximity to those who commit crimes.

innocent before proven guilty is only a thing where the crime is actually being investigated. because it’s not, nearly any actions and considerations by individuals is fair game. technically it always was.
