Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

It's likely all they have sufficient evidence to charge him with in their jurisdiction.

Yeah... but I have to assume, given the ruling-class solidarity, that that's because they don't adequately investigate the reports by the victimized women / children. I know that's how it goes in the US.

There doesn't really seem to much being shown here. They've not secretly come and arrested him quietly questioned him and released him and from the photos it doesn't look like he's been told "don't worry it's a dog and pony show, we're just going through"

How far that stretches, we'll have to see, I doubt he'll see a cell but let's give them some time to see how things develop.

I mean it's obvious he's disfavored by the """royal""" family (sorry I'm partially Irish American so, genetically and historically predisposed to hate them), I assume he did indeed act without their approval or permission. I just don't think he'll ever be punished for victimizing women and children. I don't think any of the Epstein class will be, unless some of them live to see the day where they all can be. (I think they're too old and it'll take us too long to get there.)

I'm normally optimistic but I don't see it. If I'm wrong though, I'm ready and waiting for it.
