(2,321 posts)Look, I'm always looking to see if I'm wrong on this one, but in your post, this victim Jane Doe is not reported as explicitly claiming Epstein directed her to have sex with other men.
"In a lawsuit filed in 2021 but later dropped, "Jane Doe" claimed that in some of these ways Groff facilitated Epstein's sexual abuse. Jane Doe claimed Epstein abused and trafficked her from 2017 right up until he got arrested in 2019".
This quote is an example of why so many people are under the impression that a bunch of girls have claimed Epstein trafficked them to OTHERS, but if you parse things closely, they never actually say that. Only Guiffre said that, about herself. And this Jane Doe is literally the only victim I've heard of that claimed they met Epstein after his jail stint. So she's a bit of an outlier, fwiw.
You might focus on the word "trafficked", but it's use is vague in this context, because if she was a minor, being paid for sex with an adult, then *many* people would (and do) call that "trafficking". Maybe this author would as well, we just don't know.
What's your point about Dersh?
