  Jeffrey Epstein Is Having a Bad Year
Here is my favorite lede in recent memory (and don't pretend it wasn't on purpose, you crafty Crimson folks):

For billionaire investor Jeffrey Epstein, charges of illicit sex practices just keep coming.

Let me go on record as saying that I'm now starting to feel sorry for Jeffrey Epstein. The guy clearly has a problem. But he never forced anyone to do anything, and the lawsuit that the Crimson article describes sounds like a complete crock to me. And Crimson, are you sure it wasn't first reported in the New York Post, not by ABC News?

After all, the Post has been doing top-notch reporting on the Epstein case. Today, for example, it reports that ...

The stunning model wannabe who says she was pressured into a hush- hush affair with billionaire Jeffrey Epstein when she was only 16 has an even bigger secret - she's a man.

The young woman used to be a young boy, then went under the knife.

"I'm a spoiled bitch and really mean," her MySpace page says.

Now, I'm just guessing, but given that it was Alan Dershowitz who dug up dirt on some of the other accusers by checking out their MySpace pages, could Professor Dershowitz have possibly fed this delicious little item to the Post?

I don't buy that he didn't force anyone to do anything. The girls were under-aged and troubled. Manipulating anyone to do something when they were too young and/or troubled to defend themselves or see how it might affect them is a crime. Maybe he didn't rape them but still....... there's a bigger karmic and accountability picture here. So now he's paying the price for not getting grownups and stable individuals to play with.....which apparently was the charm to him.
But it's nice you feel sorry for him. I do too. He does clearly have a problem.

I don't mean to excuse him, by any means. Yet neither do I assume that all the girls were "troubled."

I agree with eayny that the age of the girls is significant; no excuse for sexual conduct with a minor.None.
