How the Rich Get Off
What happens when you pay underage girls to give you nude massages with [requisite legal caveat here] alleged happy endings? Some of whom you may actually have had intercourse with? Girls as young as 14?
Well, if you're a billionaire, nothing!
It's been eight months since Harvard donor Jeffrey Epstein was accused of the above, and
according to the Palm Beach Post, for some strange reason, law enforcement types are dragging their feet.
Nearly eight months after Palm Beach tycoon Jeffrey Epstein was charged with felony solicitation of prostitution, there has been no discernible progress in his case. No witnesses deposed. No trial date set. Nothing, save for routine court hearings reset without explanation.
"Usually that would be unusual," said criminal defense attorney Glenn Mitchell, who has no involvement in the case.
One of Epstein's lawyers is, of course, Harvard's own Alan Dershowitz, one of whose first moves in the case was to attack the credibility of one of the young girls in the space by pointing out that, on her MySpace page, she admitted to smoking pot.
Way to go, Dersh! Because, of course, any teenager who smokes pot is automatically a liar. Whereas billionaires who pay your exorbitant hourly fees always tell the truth.
Some observers suggest that this is all a prelude to a plea bargain in which Epstein will get counseling, which sounds like a pretty good idea, actually. But is that what would happen if you had, say, a bus driver who'd paid young girls to do the exact same thing?
