Sex trafficking isn't widely understood. Here is what Epstein did.
Im not a sexual predator, Im an offender Its the difference between a murderer and a person who steals a bagel, Jeffrey Epstein told the New York Post in 2011.
Epstein compared raping a 13-year-old girl to stealing a bagel. Let that sink in. This wasnt an accident; it was strategic. In some ways, the bagel was a metaphor for how he justified the depravity of his crimes.
The fact that so many otherwise respectable, powerful and smart people continued to associate with Epstein after it was known he had sexually assaulted so many underage girls is mind boggling.
Whats even more insidious is, by having all those elite people around him, those people helped perpetuate the normalization of Epsteins crimes against children.
Make no mistake. Epstein molested, raped, threatened, discarded and mentally tortured girls and young women.
Another important reminder. Ghislaine Maxwell helped him, and these files back that up.
It may be worth explaining here what sex trafficking is.

(40,686 posts)Epstein ran a business - he provided a service to high-class exclusive clientele and he was paid handsomely for that service. Epstein needed to test the girls and make sure they were acceptable, as well as nice-looking and discrete. If they showed that they measured up, those girls were rewarded financially with promises of college tuitions paid, modelling careers, acting careers, etc. Because Epstein did all of this, the "clients" were happy to pay him, and also entrust him with their financial management. These were mostly middle-age men who were billionaires, CEOs and trust-fund heirs. Epstein knew exactly how to play them.
