Justice for VERY young teenage rape victims?
In 2008, US investment banker Jeffrey Epstein pleaded guilty in a Florida state court to soliciting an underage prostitute, was sentenced to 18 months in jail, and required to register as a sexual offender for the rest of his life.
The teen girls Jeffrey Epstein allegedly sexually abused will get their day in court

Given the evidence gathered by Florida police and the FBI, it was a great deal, the Miami Herald reports, in a stellar multi-part investigation. The paper details the multiple accusations of unlawful sexual acts with teens, some as young as 14, the unusual defense his attorneys (including Kenneth Starr, the force behind Bill Clinton’s impeachment) crafted to bury a federal investigation, and the sweetheart “non-prosecution agreement” then-federal prosecutor Alexander Acosta cut with Epstein. Acosta—now Donald Trump’s secretary of labor—faced questions at his confirmation hearing about the deal. The Herald reporting could bring more.
The paper found 80 of Epstein’s alleged victims, reached out to 60 of them, and interviewed eight. This is the first time some of their stories have been told publicly. The girls who accused him of sexual assault over a decade ago were not notified by Acosta and his team of the non-prosecution agreement crafted for Epstein before he was sentenced. They never appeared in court. Epstein, a former Bear Stearns banker, may have provided federal prosecutors with information about the global investment bank, which failed during the subprime crisis, the Herald suggests.
The teens who say Epstein paid them for nude massages, and sometimes sex, at his mansion in Palm Beach will finally be able to publicly testify against him, however. On Dec. 4, a jury trial for the first of two civil lawsuits filed in relation to the long-running legal battle between Epstein and Bradley Edwards, the top attorney for Epstein’s accusers, begins in a Palm Beach court. The trial is “the first time that Epstein’s victims will have their day in court, and several of them are scheduled to testify,” the Herald says.

More posts sink like lead here than I care to count. You shouldn't be surprised if you have a post that sinks like a stone. It's possible that the same information has been posted previously, multiple times, if we take the time to look. I find that the tweets are frequently redundant and if I want to see tweets I'll go to twitter. Thanks for the post, Jeffersons Ghost.
