For sleeping with women?
For (likely) sleeping with very young girls.
Jumping to conclusions isn't wise
EDIT: I goofed and thought the person above answered to me
Can you show me proof of that? Mila Antanova was in early 20s, not below 20 I forgot the age of that nuclear physicist, but there is zero proof of him sleeping with minors.
Besides, I recently got heavily downvoted on Lemmy for saying that tall grown men look weird when dating women that I cannot tell if they're over 18, but my opinion on the matter aside, objectively he did not really break any laws, besides marriage.
Not yet...
Forgive me for jumping to a conclusion like this, but lots of the proof still remains buried, obscured, and redacted, and any guy who willingly associates with Epstein for an "affair" is automatically a suspect in my eyes.
The more we advance in this whole mess the more he is confessing. It’s not long before we learn he abused kids. Put him in prison
You’re gross
It's normal if it's gross for you, these things come with time; once you get puberty you'll start to understand
You know that is not what the user meant.
I think the assumption is that they were underage, trafficked women.
Stop calling them "underage women". Adopting the apologist language used by the news media is what the pedo cult wants.
What’s wrong with the term? Which term do you prefer?
And as long as we’re policing each other’s language, stop calling people who have sex with teenagers pedophiles. Pedophilia is specifically about sexual attraction to prepubescent children. Sexual attraction to teenagers is actually psychologically normal, because they’ve already begun to develop adult sexual body parts. As a society, we’ve decided it’s wrong for fully-developed adults to become sexually involved with teens, because teens are still developing—particularly psychologically—and so may be taken advantage of. But biologically, attraction to teens is perfectly normal.
Assuming you really want to know ...
In the US (where Bill Gates lives), we don't generally consider women to be women until they are of age. "Underage women" is an oxymoron. They are appropriately referred to children, girls, or teens.
Ah. Thanks; I was genuinely curious. So, people feel the term is overly PC and sanitizes the topic. I get it, I suppose.
Nah you’re fucking gross dude.
You never answered my question.
Assumptions can be dangerous and make you look like an idiot. There has been zero proof that Gates was involved with minors and I'm not going to go that far until there is at least something pointing to it besides the fact that he met with Eipstein.
Epstein was more than a child trafficker. He dealt in information, blackmail material and financial... "services", as I understand it. Having been had contact with him isn't immediate proof of any specific crime, because his portfolio is so wide, and also because I imagine a snake like him will have slithered into many places the high and wealthy congregate.
The question then is the extent and nature of the connections. On one hand, I'm all for being cautious about assuming guilt.
On the other, this is a billionaire we're talking about. I find myself less charitable with good will when it comes to parasites of that caliber.
Exactly. Blackmail.
I suggest you actually do some deeper reading into this whole mess. I got too bored and the image completely changed for me. It's way deeper and and Occam's razor is not going to work here. Eipstein really did a lot of blackmailing, it was already proven that some emails were straight up fabricated.
That aside - it is now known who the two women were, and Bill did not met them thru Eipstein, neither were they underage. The whole Eipstein mess actually came after these two women.
I agree. Just clarifying why I think people are calling for him to go to prison.
