does anyone else think it's odd that Virginia Guiffre decided to file this lawsuit after all these years? She was in all those pictures with them smiling and laughing, and worked with them for years. Why now?
I guess it takes years to understand what was done to you was wrong, there is deep shame that you deny, A minor who seems to agree to have sex does not change the fact that it was a crime, that she was taken advantage of, and all the "perks" and "gifts" were just prostitution. Consent does not matter when an adult takes advantage of a young person. Maybe she saw an advantage , it does not matter, does it? It was still a crime. Turn the genders around. A sexy woman of legal age can walk into a room of 15 year old boys, and most likely they would lunge to take a crack at her, be overjoyed, in some cases. It's still a crime and the onus would be on the adult.
No, I fully agree with you on that. It's just I can't remember why, but I've watched a few interviews with her and something struck me as opportunistic about her. Not saying that those bastards didn't deserve to be hung, they definitely do. So ultimately her trial brought this out to light which is amazing. I just think the perks may have stopped after sometime and now she realizes she's a victim.
A lot of women (and some men too) learn to fake smile and act happy... but there are parts of the old british empire where buying and selling minors has been traditionally "business as usual" for a very long time ..
Harvey Weinstein's consensual "victims" have entered the chat. It truly is a complex issue as to what constitutes consent and what is legal or illegal. Add the difficulty of litigating with todays standards versus those of the past.
I am now fascinated how Hollywood ignores when it is inconvenient to their "side".
She was a troubled “youth”. Issues at home and Ghislaine groomed. Story old as ages.
Young naive, bad home, looking for a way out…. Some older lady pretends to take a liking to you. Next thing you know you’re in compromising situations and don’t know where to go. Not everyone is street saavy. Pressuring a young girl to be a hand job masseuse when she needs a support system or resources is a dirtbag move.
My guess: She was being paid to stay silent. At some point, the gravy train was cut off so she spilled. Money flow could have stopped when Epstein was arrested or some time thereabout. Does anybody know what VG has done to make a living, pay bills, etc? Has it ever been mentioned of her having an occupation? If not, she was on a payroll that stopped sending out hush money so she grabbed the megaphone.
I don't know much about her, but I know that she escaped from Epstein by "disappearing" during a layover in Australia on her way to Asia. She'd been living in hiding in Australia until she came out. She is married and has kids (I think 3)? She said she came out because she decided she was going to expose the corruption.
Ah. Interesting. That's good info. I didn't even know there was an "escape". Thought she just got too old for these freaks (like turned 20 years "old") but was still somehow connected to the inner circle
This is more like what I was pointing to. That by no means makes me feel less bad for her. She suffered a lot of trauma. She deserves healing and peace. I just think it was a bit odd is all.

I believe she was 17 at the time. Had she been 18 (so only months away) then none of this would have been an issue or exposed.
I am pretty sure she was recruited at 15 by Epstein. She was working at mar-a-lago at the time.
It's called Stockholm syndrome.
It seems likely, at this point, that she’s been working with white hats and has a role to play with timing and release.
