Him, Epstein, and four girls who he claims were college aged. Epstein, the human trafficker and child rapist, and another middle aged man, having a party with four "college aged" girls.
But nothing weird or suspicious.
Honestly, my experience with men, is that genuinely believe a young barely legal girl would totally be with a 50 year old man because they are smitten with him. And are also very open to being one of many girlfriends.
I've met a lot of men, even men I would say are decent men, who believe it's common for young attractive girls to be sexually and romantically attracted to older men.
I have told them it's rare.
But sex workers will do the job for money and pretend they like the guy. I mean, that's part of the agreement for being a sugar baby.
Most young attractive people are attracted to other young attractive people.
That's the facts.
I bet this guy actually did believe that these girls were all in love with Epstein.
Because that's what old farts want to believe.
They want to believe their waitress who is nice to them actually genuinely finds them handsome.
They want to believe the stripper at the club wants to fuck them so bad.
And so they do believe it. When it's obvious to the rest of us it's just transactional. And she's playing a role for money.
Epstein promised these girls he would make them famous. And threatened them when they tried to leave.
They were just playing along.
If I saw a very wealthy man with multiple significantly younger women, I would assume that he was probably paying them but not that he was abusing them.
Ok, but if you learned later that the guy was trafficking and raping women and children, and was selling them to other rich people for sex, that might color your perspective a bit? And if you looked back on that moment and said "I saw nothing strange or suspicious" I would think you were a liar.
