It’s a been building for more than a decade.
Unpacking the Epstein files:
The files reinforce the need for an individual and collective understanding, to respond to, and prevent, child sexual abuse and exploitation.
Epstein’s exploitation and abuse were able to continue for decades because of the socio-political fallout from any of his associates being linked to him.
The context of the files, emails, and pictures provide accounts of a range of activities that raise questions about people’s connections and interactions with Epstein.
They raise questions in the sociopolitical landscape about his relationships with individuals, which are difficult to prove but are subjective enough to prompt public speculation.
The true scale of sexual abuse is unknown due to underreporting and inconsistent terminology across organisations.
The reality of child sexual abuse prevalence is unclear but UNICIF-,estimates that 1 in 8 children globally (12.7%) are sexually abused before 18.
In England and Wales one in 10 children are sexually abused before 16, though this is likely underestimated.
The attempts to sweep under the carpet the actions of both rich and the royals shows that they are only concerned with themselves at the expense of the victims.
It remains to be seen is they are the people who can purchase guilt-free status.
You don’t recruit the bosses of large corporations or leaders of countries, you recruit those who have access and get them in compromising positions.
Governments are not the only ones that can launder money unfettered.
The odds that Trump wasn’t aware of Epstein’s criminal penchant for trafficking and abusing underage girls are approximately zero.
He like the current prime minister of the Uk are guilty of, at the very least, felonious complicity.
Epstein has often been referred to in the press and public discourses as a paedophile. Paedophilia is a paraphilia, which is a sexual attraction to something not inherently sexual.
Paedophilia is a clinical term, not a legal term or offence category, that refers to someone who is sexually attracted to pre-pubertal children.
The main learning from the Epstein case is a simple one, as a society we need to learn about, talk about and challenge child sexual abuse and exploitation more than we do.
We need to understand the nature and prevalence of child sexual abuse and exploitation so that we can be confident in challenging it, stopping the abuse and supporting victims.
This needs to emerge so that victims can be supported and, if any further evidence of criminal acts are found,
All human comments appreciate. All like clicks and abuse chucked in the bin.
