It is something of an axiom among sex crime prosecutors that rape is about exercising power as much as it is about sex, and it seems to me that this is the aspect of the Jeffery Epstein matter that is being overlooked. The abuse is horrible, absolutely, but it seems to me that the real story is that Epstein was using the sexual exploitation of the children as a means to access and manipulate powerful people. I've seen no other explanation for where his money came from except that rich people just gave it to him, and that, to me, looks quite a bit like extortion.
