The term "children" here includes girls 16 years old, right? That's below "age of consent" in most states, but it's not a 9 year old either. I don't mean to make light ot the situation in any way, they were "trafficked" apparently.
I can see how someone unwittingly might have take the flight to the island for what was described as a nice location and no engaged in sex with a 16 year old, or even at all. Or they might have done it and not bothered to ask about age because "she looked 18".
I don't know of any real evidence this was some operation by the CIA et al. But I haven't followed this closely at all, the storyline is repulsive to me.
Epstein was abusing girls as young as 13 years old. And spare me the crap, a 16 year old is a child that knows nothing at all and is ignorant about life and can't consent to having sex with someone 40+ years older than them. And call me crazy, but I consider a man in his 50s and 60s having sex with a 16 year old as a
fucking disgusting person and a criminal.
The middle part is obviously true, not everyone he is taking flights with and having dinner with were party to his sexual crimes. And the guy wouldn't compile a "client list" or even do the blackmailing himself. That is just not how an access agent works. The intel agencies would have the blackmail material he is helping to procure and they are the ones doing the blackmailing- not Jeffrey Epstein. And not to mention, it's not as if every person he is meeting with is blackmail-able. He would no doubt be trying to get to close to as many powerful and elite as possible to get information. He's not going to be able to blackmail everyone, despite what the public may think not every extremely rich and powerful person is into cheating on their wives or diddling kids.
One of the stranger things about the whole Epstein saga is that the man plead guilty and was publicly convicted on prostitution charges for having sex with a
14 year old child in that ridiculous deal of a lifetime that Alex Acosta gave him- and the elite of the elite still continued to hang out with him. I don't know about you but if someone that I am acquaintances/friends with pleads guilty to having sex with a 14 year old child and gets convicted- yeah I'm not going anywhere near them ever again. The fact that someone like Bill Gates kept coming around the guy gives off major red flags about Bill Gates.
And yes, there is plenty of real evidence he had ties to CIA, MI6, Mossad, and even GIP. And yes, the storyline is very repulsive.
