Wow, I'm not finished reading this first article yet but this is a GREAT bit of journalism.

In many cases, the confidential financial settlements came only after Epstein’s attorneys exposed every dark corner of their lives in a scorched-earth effort to portray the girls as gold diggers.

...

“It’s just outrageous how they minimized his crimes and devalued his victims by calling them prostitutes,’’ said Yasmin Vafa, a human rights attorney and executive director of Rights4Girls, which is working to end the sexual exploitation of girls and young women.

“There is no such thing as a child prostitute. Under federal law, it’s called child sex trafficking — whether Epstein pimped them out to others or not. It’s still a commercial sex act — and he could have been jailed for the rest of his life under federal law,” she said.


Outrageous that they referred to 14-year-old girls as prostitutes...unbelievable.

Acosta has been rewarded for his service to the rich and powerful and his criminal behavior in this case. There's talk that he might replace Sessions as US Attorney General - what a complete disgrace!

The U.S. Legal system is a joke
