(37,624 posts)Speech police - and I adore the OP - but we need to focus on non-consent and children here.
A few months before my 18th birthday - my dad freaked out because a 21 year old asked me out. Like - freaked out.
If I had been an Esptein/Krasnov victim at 13, 14, 15, 16 -
My dad was in the first class of Green Berets. The outcome would not have been pretty. These girls were targeted due to their income and home life. Not everyone has a TER Superstar (inside joke between my dad and me - actually re-wrote the lyrics to Jesus Christ Superstart for him
) to look out for them.
All we can do now is speak up/write for them.

money-grubbing proclivities. Actually, compared to verifiable evidence of intelligence extending beyond his left hemisphere, his impulse to traffic in female bodies is glaring.

(20,093 posts)Friedrich Drumpf, aka Frederick Trump, left his small village in what is now southwest Germany to try his fortune in America at age 16. The young barber eventually made it to the Yukon after gold was discovered, but was smart enough to see where the real money was to be made amid rampant gold fever. An estimated 100,000 prospectors set out north for the Klondike, with only a third of them actually making it, and only four percent hit paydirt. Drumpf saw better prospects in catering to their needs by opening the Arctic Restaurant in a since-abandoned town named Bennett, according to a deep dive by Bloomberg in 2016.
It was open around the clock with private boxes for ladies and parties, according to an advertisement in the Dec. 9, 1899 edition of the Bennett Sun newspaper. The boxes typically included a bed and scale for weighing gold dust used to pay for services, according to a three-generational biography by Gwenda Blair, who traced the origins of the Trump familys wealth. Of course, in the rough-and-tumble frontier towns of that era, the Arctics business model built on food, booze and sex was common.
...
I would advise respectable women travelling alone, or with an escort, to be careful in their selection of hotels at Bennett, according to a letter penned by The Pirate in the Yukon Sun on April 17, 1900. For single men, the Arctic offered excellent accommodations but women should avoid it as they are liable to hear that which would be repugnant to their feelings and uttered, too, by the depraved of their own sex.

Several years later "Gramps" returned to Germany and married a young German woman, but the government told him he had to leave the country. He could have paid a large fine for draft avoidance, but that wasn't something the Drumpfs were willing to do. So the young couple returned to the US.

(21,636 posts)Learned behavior. Thats how it was viewed down south where I grew up. The old folks had a two word moniker for such people. The first word was white. And it wasnt all about wealth, as even good folks could be down on their luck for a generation or more. And some wealthy folks couldnt be trusted as far as you could throw them. It was a matter of class, dignity and honor. 3 things the Trumps lack completely.
The current example might help northerners understand that bit of southern terminology.
