We have a responsibility to believe people when they disclose sexual abuse and to create conditions in which they can in the first place.

All details of Epstein's Network should be published and all victims/survivors are owed justice. This is clearly the tip of the iceberg.

So yeah. Maxwell beat one charge -- the impossible to prove intent to conspire in criminal enterprise. Am I to assume, the yella press is reluctant to air her father's and Epstein's notorious association with Israeli intelligence?
