Zone1 Jeffrey Epstein survivor Jess Michaels on her story and the importance and impact of the recent news

[NewsVine_Mariyam]

I don't usually have the patience to sit and watch videos but this one I found particularly compelling. And to be honest I can understand why so many people appear to believe that whatever happened with or to these women is no big deal. I guess that's due to the grooming aspect. Maybe. Or maybe it's because it's starts out as one thing (a massage) but ends up being something else (unwanted sexual contact).

Is that Katie Couric?
Ewww! Okay, that's enough of that.

I'm calling BS. She was a dancer and gave massages for money.

And that means she is unrapable?

Plus she was 22 ... she knew the danger she was in ... but she chose to not have a pimp ...

It may be a compelling story, but I'm not wasting an hour to listen ... sex with 12-year-old girls is a privilege of elective office ... otherwise no one would run for these thankless jobs ... folks are more worried about a dead Epstein than who providing the girls today ...

... because we all know someone is pimping those 12-year-olds around our Capitols ...

In Florida ... yes ... rape isn't prosecuted, so it doesn't exist ... why she didn't bother reporting the assault then ...

She should feel lucky such a handsome man like Jeffery could even pop a boner for her ...

It's doubtful that these young women were raped. They were seduced. Seduction should still be a crime. It would be ever so helpful.

Most of my sex nowadays begins with my giving a massage.

What did she claim?

It's STATUTORY RAPE. And it IS a crime. In the real world at least

Technically, most of the women were late teens early 20s. No one younger than 14 and those girls just giving creepy massages. Since Epstein never went to trial we don't actually know.

Somebody didn't want discovery to happen in that. IMO.

No idea. I've seen so many people claim so much BS about Trump over the last nine years, I just ignore it.

Me too. I certainly am not going to watch a video of such shit.

To be sure. The longer democrats yell about Epstein, the more questions arise. It's really looking more like a creepy old guy luring young, very naive, women with grandiose promises of fame and fortune. For years I expected the targets of Epstein's predations to be generally from 6 to 10. Nope. I expected little girls tied up in the basement, beaten and terrified. Nope.

Jeffrey Epstein was a very creepy guy. He lied endlessly to these young women. They believed him because they wanted to. He deserved to be in prison. Since he could not be rehabilitated, that would be for life.

Thanks! I will accept that as a valid confirmation of the integrity of my psychological condition.

Me neither. They want me to doubt myself, and I refuse to play along with their little game.

And giving someone a massage in your mind means if they've gotten aroused due to the massage, they have the right to take things further and have sex with the masseuse whether the masseuse is willing or not?
