Sure, money helped, but that's not the whole story.
Why can men like Jeffrey Epstein get away with sexually abusing young girls, for years, in plain sight?
That Epstein is actually facing consequences for his actions is unusual. He has successfully evaded justice for a long time, and not merely because of his money. You don’t have to be a millionaire or a celebrity to get away with abusing girls. Or assaulting and raping women, for that matter. Anyone can do it. When you’re not famous, it’s even less likely anyone will care.
With the advent of Me Too, there’s clearly been progress. Epstein is behind bars right now, thanks to the dogged efforts of a female journalist at the Miami Herald and the bravery with which his victims came forward to tell their stories. She’s working on several cases in which a young girl was sexually assaulted at school, and the administration effectively blamed her for what happened. These girls were bullied while school administrators did nothing to protect them. “Often girls are being punished and pushed out of school,” Chaudhry said.
“We work with both young adults and minors. The men that pay to rape them are quite often let off with no consequences,” she said, adding, “It’s still a ‘boys will be boys’ environment.” The first time Epstein ran afoul of the law, for abusing girls in his Palm Beach mansion, he brokered a sweetheart deal, courtesy of Trump’s disgraced former labor secretary, Alex Acosta. He pleaded guilty to soliciting minors for “prostitution.”
