Andrew Willis of the StopAbuse Campaign on Facebook and Twitter recently asked me to write this post. I have been researching the man and the topic online all week. Andrew and several others including BRAVE KIDS VOICES have been tweeting about Katie Couric going to a dinner party recently given by Jeffrey Epstein who is a hedge fund manager/mogul (whatever that is). More important, Jeffrey Epstein is a registered sex offender. The man has alledgedly flown children in from other countries for the sexual pleasure of himself and some of his guests.
The question asked in the Tweets was how could Katie Couric as a mother go to a dinner party given by this registered sex offender? As a mother who should be protecting her children from this kind of man, why would Ms Couric go to this dinner party and be in the presence of a child molestor? Ms Couric wasn't Epstein's only guest.
Others that were there included Woody Allen and George Stephanopoulos. Some other names that you might recognize that have been associated with Epstein over the past year are Prince Andrew and Sarah, Duchess of York who got a loan from Epstein through the friendship of her ex-husband Prince Andrew. Sarah tells you that she didn't know the character of Epstein at the time of the financial loan and that she is sorry to be affiliated with the man. Sarah is also a mother of little girls.
The dinner party was to honor Prince Andrew of England. Prince Andrew is in danger of losing his title of U. K. Special Representative for International Trade and Investment because of his alliance with Epstein. The relationship has been called "a national embarrassment" in England.
Other friends associated with Jeffrey Epstein are Donald Trump and former President Bill Clinton. Both say that they have known Epstein for years. They both say complimentary things about Epstein. Neither addresses Epstein's title of Child Sex Offender.
The dinner party was held in Epstein's New York home which is located very close (within 1,000 feet) to an Episcopal pre-school. Registered sex offenders are not allowed to be that close to a school at any time. What are the police doing about this? Several times during his jail stay, Epstein visited this New York home.
Since Epstein's conviction in 2007 many more victims of child sexual abuse have come forward to speak out about their abuse at the hands of Jeffrey Epstein who uses his money to buy female children for sex for himself and his friends. One claim says that Epstein had 3 French girls who were 12 years old bought to him for his birthday. The FBI who has been investigating Epstein found 40 victims, most of them under age at the time that they were used by Epstein. One of the articles that I read says that Epstein has settled out of court with all of the 40 victims of child sexual abuse. Unless the FBI can find more victims, Epstein will go free of any further child trafficking charges.
Why was Jeffrey Epstein given such a leniant conviction? Was it because he had the money to buy a large team of very expensive attorneys to get him off? With the proven charges against Epstein, he should have easily gotten a jail term of ten to twenty years. He didn't. He served 13 months behind bars in a private wing of the Palm Beach jail. During this time, Epstein was allowed out of his jail cell to go to work for 16 hours each day.
The only good thing that might come out of this is for Jeffrey Epstein to be charged with money laundering. The FBI is still investigating these allocations against Epstein. After all, isn't money laundering a more important charge than being a child sex offender. In case you didn't catch it, that was sarcasm on my part. There is much more that I could say. Instead, I would prefer that you read the articles written in The Daily Beast which I have included links to each article below.
