In a sworn court affidavit and in a recent interview with the Herald, Roberts described how Epstein and Maxwell began grooming her not just to perform massages, but to sexually pleasure them and others.
It started with one and it trickled into two and so on, Roberts told the Herald. And before you know it, Im being lent out to politicians and academics and royalty.
Roberts was also tasked with finding more girls for Epstein, frequenting popular teen hangouts like shopping malls to draw young girls to whichever of Epsteins several homes he was in at the time.
She began to travel with Epstein and Maxwell to Epsteins other homes, in New York, New Mexico and the U.S. Virgin Islands and her trips are documented in flight logs that frequently list her name or her initials as a passenger, court records show.
His appetite was insatiable. He wanted new girls, fresh, young faces every single day that was just the sickness that he had, Roberts said.

(I have huge respect and appreciation for the King family, from whom he purchased the land.)

(14,974 posts)I don't remember the person's name either, or if the story even identified them, but there was an anecdote about Epstein trying to "groom" a girl at Mar-a-Lago who was the daughter of a member, and the member complained TO TRUMP about it.
It might have been that Palm Beach Post (or Miami Herald, I dunno) story from months ago which refocused the heat on Acosta's role in this gross mess, but I'm not certain... either way, if I am remembering correctly, there is at least one newspaper/magazine out there with a source claiming Trump SPECIFICALLY RECEIVED a complaint about Epstein trying to initiate a sexual encounter with a minor AT MAR-A-LAGO and continued associating with him for years.
None of this is surprising to anyone who paid the least bit of attention or has the slightest sense of morality, of course. So yes indeed to lot of Trump voters...

Trump has survived the pussy grabbing, rape allegations, a lifetime of lies and deplorable behavior. American girls are being abused in his home by his friends without consequence. Dude enables it and covers it up. What's it going to take to bring him down already? Even if Pence is worse in some ways, it's time for a new president.

(146,317 posts)Bad actors find ways to connect with other bad actors. Sex with underage people is one of the areas where that happens, probably far more often than we'd like to think about.
The article at the link is interesting, and sound about right. There are rich pedophiles, just like there are priests who are pedophiles. It's independent of almost any other characteristic, I think.
Trump? Who knows? Maybe. Maybe not. Maybe Epstein knows. Since he has Mar a Lago connections, perhaps he knows all sorts of things that go on at that exclusive resort.

I appreciate that Trump's connections are being highlighted, but I would also appreciate direct links to the original source of the investigative reporting, especially since the language here is verbatim.
