I mean, it's the one time he's guaranteed to not be named in a sexual assault case, so why not?

I think it's more like Epstein specialized in girls
probably becauses hes into male minors. and not female like most of the pedophiles/ephebophiles out there.
Not googling that word
It's just a synonym for libertarian.
That's so funny
It's a distinction some make, where pedophiles go for the kid kids, like prepubescent, where ephebophiles want the ones who have at least started puberty but are still kids.
Hold my beer, it's even more complicated
- Infantophiles go for 0-5 (up until developed consciousness)
- Pedophiles ~6-beginning of puberty
- Hebephiles - going through puberty
- Ephebophiles - after puberty but before adulthood
- Teleiophiles - 18-late 30s
- Mesophiles - 40s-60s
- Gerontophiles - 70+

Don't ask me why I know, I just like getting to the grit of things.
I'm going to accuse some people of being Teleiophiles and Mesophiles.

Harvey Weinstein, Kevin Spacey and Dustin Hoffman walk into an Irish pub.
The bartender sighs, "Oh no, not Yewtree again..."
I'm wondering what kind of international incident this will cause. Who else is in there, it can't be just Americans?
Anything to ratchet up the pressure on that orange toddler is welcomed.
my personal objection.
releasing the Epstein's files will include people he wanted to target but never got anywhere.
however, it would be very clear that those people are innocent, and they're will be people in the files that were clearly diddling children.
Either the files should be released in full and the only consequence for people who casually met Epstein and never interacted with him will be some conspiracy nuts harassing them. or at worse censor the list for those names.
Also, just because there isn't a file named "Epstein's client list.docx" doesn't mean there isn't info about his clients.
"just because there isn't a file named "Epstein's client list.docx" doesn't mean there isn't info about his clients."
Exactly, this focus on a "list" drives me crazy. If detectives investigating a murder don't find a piece of paper with the victim's name on it in the killer's possession, they don't throw their hands up and say, damn he got away with it.
Epstein's entire business model revolved around having receipts on his clients, that's how he stayed out of prison for decades, and it's why they are covering it up now. This isn't a conspiracy theory, it's a supressed criminal investigation.
the conspiracy is about who (we know who) and why (we know why) the criminal investigation is being suppressed.
people he wanted to target but never got anywhere.
All it'll do is make a list of probabilities.
If you were caught having sex with an intern, AND you were in Epstein's book, it just has a higher chance. However, he's more likely to go after someone who has been publicly caught.
The black book isn't as interesting as the redacted information in the court papers. Sealed details about the official testimony are going to be far more damning than his little black book.
Also, there may be stuff like flight logs of personal accounts putting people in bad places.
He saw Stephen King get called a nonce for claiming the list didn't exist and saw an opportunity.
Oh, King's for sure on that list if he's saying that.
