Now What About the Men?

The last famous trial of 2021 has come to an end and Ghislaine Maxwell is found guilty of 5 of 6 counts brought against her. They are as follows:

· Sex trafficking of minors — the most serious count on which she was convicted.

· Conspiracy to entice a minor to travel to engage in illegal sex acts.

· Conspiracy to transport a minor with the intent to engage in criminal sexual activity.

· Transporting a minor with the intent to engage in criminal sexual activity.

· Conspiracy to commit sex trafficking of minors.

For these crimes, Maxwell is staring down a possible 65 year sentence. In the case of the 60 year old, that means life in prison.

I have yet to hear even a whisper as to whether or not the actual men the underage girls were trafficked to will face any charges. Jeffrey Epstein is dead but there are many that are rumored to be somehow involved that are alive and kicking, even now.

Most of these names come from the flight manifests on the “Lolita Express.” Epstein’s pilot, Larry Visoski, told the court that he would be given notice if high profile people would be on the plane. People like Bill Clinton or Bill Gates. He also testified that he never saw anything untoward, but then again, he was flying the plane. Flying to Little St. James in the U.S. Virgin Islands, New Mexico, Europe, Asia and Africa. Bill Clinton flew with Epstein on four trips between 2002 and 2003, saying it was for the work the Clinton Foundation was doing.

The accusers testified that they were on some of these flights, which included a Who’s Who from politics, finance, Hollywood and high tech and the Royal Family. That they would be flown to various places for the sole purpose of having sex with Epstein. The Prosecution stuck to this narrow narrative regarding just Esptein, to give them the best chance of convicting Maxwell. If they had tried to catch all the stinky fish up in one trial, that tactic might have failed.

We have no idea what potential further prosecutions could take place in the near future. In the next few weeks, Prince Andrew will be in court as he is being civilly sued by accuser, Virginia Roberts Giuffre.

Is it possible the Prosecutors will pick one potential perpetrator at a time in order to have a better chance for conviction? If I were prosecuting that would be my choice. One dirty bird at a time. I highly doubt that the “Epstein Trials” will end any time soon, but then again, we are talking about highly connected, highly influential people who ran with Epstein. Epstein was dispensable, even Kevin Spacey is dispensable, but Bill Clinton? Or Bill Gates? Or former New Mexico Governor, Bill Richardson?

Former President Donald Trump is also in the slush as he flew on Epstein’s jet from Palm Beach to New York on several occasions. Although it is unclear that Epstein was simultaneously on these flights. Trump’s second wife Marla Maples and baby daughter Tiffany were on at least two of these flights and Don Jr. was on another.

Later in 2007, Trump permanently banished Epstein from Mar-a-Lago and the membership records show Epstein’s account was closed by the resort, not Epstein. The story is Epstein made moves on the teen daughter of another member of the resort, that member complained to Trump and he forever banished Epstein. Maybe that wasn’t the first instance of Epstein behavior that Trump had heard rumors about.

There is no doubt that right now there are some rich and famous men who are quite nervous about what could be revealed next. One can only hope that all of them are fully investigated and those that deserve prosecution will be prosecuted despite their titles or station in life. The rich and famous are very different from the rest of us but maybe, at least in the area of pedophilia, they will be treated the same as any garden variety sicko.
