Hugh Hefner tried to warn the FBI about Epstein — new docs show they ignored him (www.rawstory.com)

The FBI reportedly ignored several of Hefner's tips about Epstein for 15 years, according to NewsNation.

Court records show that Audra Christiansen, a former Playboy Playmate, told Hefner in 2005 that she was an Epstein survivor and asked Hefner to contact the FBI. She suggested that authorities would be more likely to take his call over hers because of his status.

Miami Herald reporter Julie K. Brown, in her Substack, reported on the legal complaint, which was filed by 34 Epstein survivors against the United States in the Southern District of Florida.

In the court document, the FBI agreed to assist Christiansen and investigate her claims. But Christiansen apparently did not hear from the FBI until October 2020.

This is like a hearing that Glenn quagmire from family guy was not only real but would drop kick paedophiles on sight.

Then he'd be there to draw an important distinction between ephebophilia and pedophilia.

Well the child rapist protection agencies put a stop to that. Because they were over a certain income of course.
