2019 Epstein Case

The Epstein case is not just scary in that it ended in death. It shows a widespread cultural reluctance in the American criminal justice system to consider abused women and children as a “real” crime. Consider the timeline of the case shown in this link by Global News. People were complaining in court as far back as the year 2000 and very little happened. The article goes on to say “Court documents allege that Epstein abused “a vast network” of girls at his homes in Miami, New York and elsewhere.” He was a rich and good looking guy, and he could have easily had a nice wife doing anything he asked. However he liked manipulating and abusing the poor, young, and powerless. If he is allowed to do all this what hope do we have that lesser crimes will get any justice? I can personally verify it is very triggering of trauma reactions to females who have survived abusive behavior to see this news. https://globalnews.ca/news/5750853/jeffrey-epstein-case-timeline/

    What else can be said? Eloquent. Hopefully la’ affairé Epstein will represent a sea change around a chronic systemic injustice. It can be said this case isn’t over, with civil litigation against the estate, and possible prosecution of some of the peripheral figures in what was an ongoing criminal enterprise.
