The files have turned up no evidence of pedophilia, sex trafficking, rape, victims, spy agencies, or blackmail.
Epstein was convicted of soliciting from a 17-year-old prostitute, and served a 13-month sentence. This was not a lenient sentence. It would not even be a crime in many places. For example, Colorado has introducd a bill to legalize prostitution, and the age of consent is 17 there.
Some say that he committed worse crimes, but they were covered up. Maybe so, but the crimes could not be that obvious, if 100s of investigations over 20 years failed to find the proof.
Now a great many people are being blamed for being mentioned in the Epstein files. Everybody says that they should have refused to communicate with him.
If no one can prove any of these charges today, with the mountain of evidence and publicity, how was anyone supposed to know 20 years ago?
This another example of the world gone mad. If someone really thinks that anyone seeing a prostitute should be ostracized, then I could understand, but no one says that. It is all based on a presumption that Epstein somehow committed much worse crimes, and somehow everyone knew about it. No, no one knows about any worse crimes.
