  • Not a lot. It's just a factoid which caught my eye. The town is in Carpathian Ruthenia, which changed hands many times. It was in Hungary for most of the war. The Nazis rounded up the Jews, including most of Robert Maxwell's family, who were killed in Auschwitz. Ghislaine is sometimes presented as a member of the English upper class, but I wonder whether she sees herself more as a persecuted minority, struggling to survive. After her father's death she was rescued by Epstein. Was she another of his victims? Would she ever have preyed on young girls if she hadn't needed to pay her debt to him?

  • I don’t know the answers to these questions, but it seems like a just verdict.

    What doesn’t seem just is the absence of prosecutions of the very many powerful men who shared Epstein’s company.

    Statute of limitations I assume. The challenge of proving it even if it hadn't passed; just look at the Prince Andrew case.

  • I expect there have been a lot of out of court settlements and NDA's over the years
