Regarding the Epstein victims,

6. who were never legit

not quite.

THESE predators were not just 2 bit hustlers with a "modeling agency" business card. They HAD actual modeling agencies and the "madam" older woman ( Maxwell ) to assure the girls and their parents that the girls would be "well taken care of". Plus these were rich people, with mansions and fancy cars and the parties where the girls would be invited to mingle with the rich men... many recognizable and well known.

At least one of them owned "legit" beauty pageants. Who wouldn't want to be Miss Teen USA and get that scholarship money and promise of a big career modeling. Never mind the creepy guy wondering through the dressing rooms to "check on things". He was just Uncle Donald.

I can see why pretty girls in the 12 to 17 age range... and their parents if they even had involved parents, would be like "hey, sure you can take my daughter to your mansion and dress her up like an adult and have her mingle and party with the rich elite, if that means a 6 figure modeling contract..." Right up until someone drugs them and sticks a finger in their vagina to measure how tight they are and auction them off to the highest bidder for fun and games. But with the threat of "tell anyone about this and we will kill your entire family starting with your younger sister"
