I only saw a minute, the part where the daughter and another girl were going to be raped by a fat old man, and I turned it off. But why was that aspect of rape such a trigger, but the same people who abhorred that are fine with the details coming out about felon rapist traitor, epstein and other foul predators? And the same kind of monster being asshole uber alles?
