Well perhaps they'll learn something new today. I think it's important to get the terminology correct and understand the different age classifications.

A man may be attracted to a 16 yr old and by definition that doesn't make him a pedophile.

However, if that man has physical contact of a sexual nature with that 16 yr old, that very well may be illegal based on age of consent and/or if there is consent or not.

However, what Epstein and his buddies are alleged to have done very much falls into the illegal act/criminal category.

It's worth clarifying that consent applies to any age... not just minors.

That is assumed in my post and I'd sure hope that anyone reading these forums already knows what consent is and why it's important and what happens if someone, including any adult, hasn't consented.

Default Focus on Jeffrey Epstein's and Trump's relationship with young girls.

Though other threads involving Epstein were begun earlier on, having veered off into discussing others, that is not what the focus is on, but just Epstein and Trump.

The focus of this thread is regarding the earlier relationship between Epstein and Trump and their both having had sexual involvements with young girls, in addition to Epstein's background of having lured girls with the promise of "modeling opportunities", his later continued involvement in sex trafficking.

This is only one article describing an occurrence involving Epstein and Trump and their involvement in more than one rape. As one of these women later finally attempted to bring her case out to the public, it was dropped, having been heavily threatened by Trump's lawyers. (Apparently, Trump had threatened her prior, after the involvement).

After having seen what Trump is capable of and his close association with Epstein for years, I would not question events having had occurred.

I guess you guys learned nothing from the Kavanaugh situation and the asinine #metoo crusade.

Sure, go ahead and try to smear someone else. Just remember that each time you weaponize false sex allegations and get caught, it makes people less likely to believe legitimate allegations in the future.

It might be more constructive if you attempt to find a 2020 candidate who could actually get elected instead of wasting time on another witch hunt.

At this point anyone with ties to Epstein is suspect.

It’s known he procured girls for others.

As said, this thread was begun in order to focus upon these two, their relationship and problems. It has nothing to do with others in the news and their own issues, which surely is covered elsewhere, that people can otherwise read about.

Why do you believe it is a fake claim, when at least one victim mentioned here tried to bring out information about it long ago?

It's something to wonder about when some men persist in defending those guilty of proven lewd conduct and sexual allegations against them.
