Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Another amazingly convenient death for epstiens clients and associates. Becoming clear that a pedophile cult runs the world and there's nothing you can do about it.

Siad was one of several French men accused of aiding Epstein to traffic and abuse women. He had not yet been questioned by investigators, but had denied the allegations, saying he wanted to give his version of events.

How convenient.

How hasn't every single person who has ever been in the same room as Epstein not been questioned by now? It's been 10 fucking years?!?!

It was nearly 20 years ago that he was convicted of soliciting a minor for prostitution. Over 20 years ago that the investigation of that incident began.

The initial investigation found more than 30 girls between the ages of 14 and 17 with similar accounts of sexual abuse.

Its mind boggling to think that he ended up in a plea deal and only got a year and a half in prison. Anyone he ever came into contact with after that should have been immediately questioned.

Apparently they didn't even meet the victims.

It’s weird to me that all the outlets are going with “model scout” instead of “trafficker”.

Wanna know where he wasn't under investigation? The United States. I wish this trash human was still alive to talk.
