Girls trust “nice” women with rich friends who can “help.”

in a way Maxwell was worse than Epstein, and Magats are now calling her a victim. I hope to fuck that lie doesn't take hold.

Not every sex trafficking ring has a woman assistant. She's scum, just as bad as they are, but men like this would have found a way without her.

an attorney who represented 5 victims at the trial. He told the stories about what Maxwell did to and how she did it to enslave little girls. Maxwell was involved in many of the sexual assaults.

Ghislaine Maxwell is a monster who enabled Jeffrey Epstein.

I stand by reposting what Bradley Edwards said, it in no way lets Epstein off the hook.

But I think the intended insinuation was that the scope of his crimes would've been much smaller and therefore the scale of the 'Epstein Story' would've been much more limited. IOW it's 'the story', more so than 'the man' that's meant by 'there'd be no Epstein'.

And in that context it's probably mostly true. She recruited a LOT of his teen victims, nearly all the ones we've ever heard from, and I'm sure the presence of a woman there like her made them feel 'safer' going to Epstein's houses than they ever would have if it was him trying to lure them there.

They are BOTH monsters and she was a very major facilitator and accomplice in his crimes.

"there would be no .." And, that, is frankly just not true. These people have always found a way ...

We don't have to minimize Maxwell's part in any way - in order to continue to insist that Epstein was the engine ....

I already stipulated that taken on its face its bullshit, but viewed in the context in which it was said, it's not hard to glean what was actually intended by the speaker

My argument probably goes to the OP - for digging it back up as today's clickbait.

...of other females is beyond abhorrent.

Procurer - A person who procures women or girls as prostitutes. Groomer - Someone who develops a relationship with a child with the intention of trying to persuade them to have a sexual relationship.

14 year old girls are not prostitutes, that's what Alan Dershowitz called them. They were victims of sex trafficking.

that he thinks the age of consent should be 14.

Let me clear here, from the standpoint of disparagingly referring to the victims as 'prostitutes', then absolutely yes, that's a bullshit thing to do. If you are not old enough to 'consent' (which 14 is not) then any sex (unless you're in their age group) is statutory rape

However, all of the victims were paid in exchange for sexual favors, that's why a number of them returned to the Epstein house, in some cases many times, over months or even years. It's uncomfortable to ponder, but it's factual, and testified to by the victims.

So, again, while calling a 14 yo victim 'a prostitute' is fucked up and wrong, at the same time, it's not inaccurate to say Maxwell identified, then lured and groomed the girls into a life of prostitution. That was her 'job' and that's what she did. They themselves were not 'prostitutes' they were victims, but the pattern of behavior meets the definition of 'prostitution', if that makes sense?

And there's this testimony, as reported in the BBC:

But for these women this was no fairytale. It was a nightmare and it was very real. How real became apparent the following day when Jane took the stand.

She testified that Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein approached her when she was 14 years old at a summer arts camp in 1994.

Over the next two years, she said she was abused about every other week with Maxwell sometimes taking part.

Ghislane grew up in privilege but found out when her father died that her inheritance wasn't nearly what she expected. She would do ANYTHING to get her life of privilege back. Are there other women out there like her? ABSOLUTELY!!!

Our president is happy to excuse her behavior, to give her a pass.

Every day, it gets worse and worse.

because she's likely to get a Trump pardon in exchange for lying about his involvement.

Ghislaine Maxwell had no children of her own
Perhaps if she had,her choices may have been different..or worse..
