I lost most of my weekend reading the actual Epstein files. Thousands of pages. Photos. Testimony. Not TikTok. Not media spin. The real record.
Nothing changed the fact that Jeffrey Epstein was a predator. What did change is how clear it became that Ghislaine Maxwell wasn’t just along for the ride. She recruited. She facilitated. She enforced. She didnt fall victim to him. Victims have said—again and again—that she was worse than Epstein. I believe them.
The photos are haunting. Redacted faces. Nude girls. Children’s clothing. Car seats. Bodies that don’t belong to adults. Epstein with children. Epstein and Maxwell with children. Neither have children. If that doesn’t turn your stomach, something is wrong.
People want this to be partisan. It isn’t. Their acquaintances and friends—Republicans, Democrats, celebrities, billionaires—this was about money and access, not ideology. Epstein bought proximity. Maxwell opened the doors.
What makes me angry is how easily we dismiss women as predators. We call them accomplices instead of what they are. That blind spot doesn’t just erase truth—it protects abusers.
And the system? Money warps justice. The wealthy stall, bury, and outlast survivors. Statutes of limitations end up shielding predators more than delivering justice. Survivors carry this for decades while perpetrators walk.
I defend nobody who steals the innocence of children. I don’t care who you are—leader, celebrity, family, or friend. The moment that line is crossed, you are done. No place in my heart. No excuses.
That’s what should keep us up at night.
Not just what happened—but how often it happens, and how little changes.
Furthermore, to be clear: after seeing the photos and the redactions, I respect them. None of us are entitled to see victims’ faces or deeply private information. That expectation alone is part of the problem.
If you actually read the records, look at the dates, and understand federal and state sex-assault law, you’d know this: criminal prosecution is still possible. Reckless speculation, misinformation, and social-media theatrics don’t help victims—they risk destroying real chances at justice.
If you care about accountability, step away from the noise.
Read what’s real.
Understand the law.
And stop treating victims’ lives like content.
