Just after this New Year, European and American entertainment ushered in a shocking giant melon!
Many people should have heard of Epstein's "Lori Island" case.
This "obscenity case" that shocked China and foreign countries is still under investigation.
And in accordance with the requirements of the court order at the end of last year,
At the beginning of this year, a detailed list of those involved in the "Epstein case" was released as scheduled.
With hundreds of pages of unsealed documents being published,
More than 170 people were involved (including participants and victims who may have been Epstein's associates)
Among them, more than 150 are European and American celebrities.
After the list was announced, many American netizens speculated that the big names were "on the list".
Illustrious,
There are Prince Andrew of England,
(Prince Andrew has been photographed in the same frame as Epstein many times)
Former U.S. President Bill Clinton,
former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak and other political elites;
(Barak was a close friend of Epstein's, and Epstein brokered him with the JPMorgan CEO to seek assistance for the Israeli company.) In 2016, Barak was also photographed masked entering Epstein's Manhattan mansion, followed by four other women entering Epstein's home.)
Bill Gates, a tech buster
American investment magnate Glenn Dubin and other business tycoons;
(Both Doberman and his wife were close friends with Epstein.)
It also involves the French scout Brunel, who unearthed superstars such as "ball flower" Monica Bellucci,
(Brunel was suspected of "pimping" Epstein, and he ended up committing suicide in prison, just like Epstein...... ）
Magician David Copperfield,
Kevin Spacey, who starred in "House of Cards",
pop diva Madonna,
碧昂丝老公Jay-Z👇🏻
Amlilina Jolie and other celebrities in the literary and artistic circles,
(More concerned than on the island, Angelina's children were adopted from a Cambodian orphanage that was once supported by Epstein?
(It's no wonder that Julie said that if the list of "Epstein" cases was announced, she would leave the United States, after all, she probably cared more about the world's attention to her children than her bashing.)
Even includes many grandmaster-level figures in the academic circle,
The late artificial intelligence pioneer and Turing Award winner Marvin Minsky,
and Alan Dershowitz, a law professor at Harvard University,
Not only did he make the list,
Or the celebrity whose name is mentioned the most often in the Epstein papers......
and, the late astrophysicist Hawking 👇🏻, who was on the domestic hot search
In fact, the "Epstein case" was exposed by foreign media as early as 2015.
In 2019, Epstein himself was formally arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to abduct and sexually assault underage women
Nearly a decade has passed, and the mystery behind him and the island has not faded with the passage of time.
Just guessing which of his friends are "Loli Island" prostitutes has become an enduring hot topic on the Internet
The bizarre cause of his death has given rise to various conspiracy theories......
Before reviewing the case in detail, let's introduce Epstein himself.
He came from an ordinary Jewish family in New York City, and he broke into society before finishing college.
But with his excellent eloquence and knowledge, he first taught in a private school in New York.
Through the introduction of the director of Bear Stearns (one of the five largest investment banks on Wall Street) of the student's parent, he began to mix with Wall Street.
Relying on a brilliant mind and rich connections to complete the primitive accumulation of wealth,
Gradually set up an investment company and be an investment advisor to the super-rich.
Become a billionaire yourself.
But because he does not disclose financial records and customer lists, he was not included in Forbes for a time.
The details of his family history have also been a mystery.
In fact, it can be seen from the fact that he acted mysteriously,
He is by no means simply just a financial tycoon, otherwise there will definitely be no follow-up.
He is an important financier of the Democratic Party.
Political contributions to key Democratic Party politicians.
Not only travels in politics, but he also sponsors the Metropolitan Expo Pavilion and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology all year round.
Do a lot of charity projects, donate money to sponsor the research projects of academic experts.
(Details of Epstein's donation to the MIT Media Lab)
(The screenshot text is from "Southern People Weekly")
Rich and generous, with many projects under hand, and will treat people and things,
It's no surprise that he was able to meet celebrities from all walks of life.
In the nineties of the last century, in order to avoid taxes, Epstein registered a company in the Virgin Islands,
Later, I simply bought a small island called "Little St. James" there.
He built a large villa on the island to entertain celebrities from all walks of life
There are indeed many people on the island who only come to visit and eat.
After all, there are many business meetings here.
But Little St. James's Island is by no means a simple private club as ordinary people think.
Behind it, there are many sins,
It can be said that it was an extralegal place opened up by Epstein in order to facilitate the development of sex trafficking
(The island is surrounded by the sea, and the girl on the island doesn't want to escape at all, there are security guards he has planted everywhere, and he also places a camera in the hotel room, which is said to have recorded a lot of intimate images, and in one fell swoop to blackmail celebrities and girls who have been abused)
But how did the world know these things?
After all, the former Epstein was once a Gatsby-esque inspirational figure in the public mind
If it weren't for a report from 2005,
Under the protection of his power, I don't know how long that elite illusion will last......
The reason is that a woman reported to the Florida police that a wealthy man molested her stepdaughter.
(The woman found out that her 14-year-old daughter had more than $300 in cash, and when she asked, she found out that it was a man in Palm Beach who gave the girl a massage and gave the money when she left.) Parents understood what had happened to their children as soon as they heard it, so they immediately called the police, and the police immediately launched an investigation)
This investigation found out that there was not only one girl who was deceived by $200 to get a massage
What happened after being tricked into going for a massage,
On the one hand, those girls didn't think it was sexual assault at the moment.
Besides, even if I realized it, I didn't dare to tell adults.
(The scheming Epstein picks out girls who are timid and have unsatisfactory families of origin, and he thinks that even if such children are bullied and have no family backing, most of them are powerless to resist and do not know how to defend ......their rights.)
After learning the clues, the police continued to investigate and found that the culprit was really the rich Epstein.
And the seriousness of the case is not just obscenity, the sex trade behind it has formed an industrial chain......
It's a pity that because Epstein is rich and powerful,
The victims are all minors, and most of them have no money.
out of shame and financial constraints, less able to sue;
Epstein's employees were even more afraid of causing trouble,
Very few people come forward to testify.
It took seven months for the police to enter Epstein's mansion and begin a search
But the police's inner ghost has already been angry with him, and a lot of evidence has long been destroyed......
It was indeed Epstein and his ex-girlfriend, Ghislyn Maxwell, who did it
(Ghisly's father was media mogul Robert Maxwell, who was well-connected in the political and business worlds, and at his peak controlled popular newspapers such as the Daily Mirror and the Sunday Mirror, and is rumored to have been involved in cross-border illegal business.) After Robert's huge debt and mysterious death, it was Epstein who took over Ghislyne, which is why the two of them have been in the same camp for decades.)
They have been using various means for more than ten years,
Coercion, temptation, and abduction of young girls to his mansion and island,
They are forced to have sex with celebrities, the youngest of whom is only 11~12 years old.
(According to interviews with victims, many of the young girls on the island were lured by friends to introduce them to such and such manor, such and such island to earn money, and to attend parties)
Due to the large number of victims involved and the fact that most of them are minors,
(Epstein's call record contains many words about others "introducing" underage girls to him, source: NewYorkPost)
Epstein buys off relevant people everywhere,
It is becoming more and more difficult to investigate and collect evidence, and it is difficult for state prosecutors to prosecute in accordance with the law.
Request that the case be referred to the FBI.
The Palm Beach Police Department prepared a 53-page sexual offense indictment,
It was submitted to the federal government and awaited the F.B.I. to continue its investigation and convict Epstein.
But Epstein had already bribed the police and the judiciary in advance and learned of the prosecutor's plan of action.
Soon a team of lawyers was formed to defend him.
(The defense bench is led by his old friend, Allen, a Harvard law professor who has been to Epstein's guilty island 137 times.)
Epstein didn't just rely on lawyers to clear his name,
also intimidated the police detectives investigating the case,
Threaten them to hurt their families if they dare to investigate
There are also various threats to media journalists who follow up on the investigation during the investigation
There are even people who pose as FBI investigators to intimidate victims and their families into abandoning the lawsuit......
So when he was sentenced in 2008, Eps was convicted on only a few counts.
He also beat up the girls, saying that the girls were underage prostitutes......
In the end, he was held in a county prison in Florida for 13 months.
In the cell, there is a single room, with a private bathroom, a private cook,
He was even allowed to work outside of prison, and only needed to report to the prison guard at 8 p.m.......
And the girls he violated were sexually assaulted at a good age
Many have fallen into the crackdown, lost their goals in life, and even began to embark on the road of breaking the law and committing crimes;
Even if some dare to stand up and accuse, they are weak and have little influence
The first thing I faced was the strange eyes of the people around me.
And the judiciary is not able to give them the care they deserve......
It wasn't until 10 years later, in 2015, that everything took a turn for the better.
Virginia, a girl who was sexually assaulted by Prince Epstein and Andrew,
After struggling for a long time, the crimes of Epstein, Ghislian Maxwell, and Prince Andrew are brought to light.
Prince Andrew naturally bit to death, claiming not to know Virginia,
Buckingham Palace has repeatedly issued statements saying that she is framing the prince,
But she directly released a photo of the two of them and slapped everyone in the face.
More subtlely, the short-haired woman in the corner is none other than Epstein's ex-girlfriend and accomplice, Gillian Maxwell,
Public opinion began to loosen ......
By 2016, the U.S. election began,
Trump and Hillary, who had crossed paths with Epstein in the past, both ran for election.
Many of the victims took advantage of the opportunity to talk about Epstein, but it did not attract the attention of the public
The "metoo" movement of 2017,
More and more girls who have been violated have stood up and spoken out under the inspiration of public opinion.
Virginia's persistence has infected other victims, and many eyewitnesses have testified.
BBC interviews with Virginia, Prince Andrew, continued attention on social media,
It has created a lot of momentum for the Epstein case,
Finally, in 2019, the U.S. judiciary was forced to reopen the 2006 Epstein case under pressure from the public.
Police entered Epstein's mansion scattered all over the place,
A large number of indecent photos of underage girls were seized,
and the jaw-dropping ...... of former U.S. President Bill Clinton's women's clothing
In July, Epstein was arrested, but he did not wait for trial.
He mysteriously hanged himself the night before the list of cases was made public.
Even though the U.S. Department of Justice issued a document saying that it was the negligence and misconduct of the Bureau of Prisons that caused Epstein's suicide to succeed,
But whether it's the disappearing cell surveillance video, the prison guard who "happened to be asleep" or the suspicious autopsy report,
It always makes people feel that his death was not a suicide in fear of sin.
(Epstein's cell after suicide has a lot of extra sheets)
His death interrupted the scheduled review process.
But the matter is so big, it is definitely not as simple as a death case,
His accomplice, Gieslyn Maxwell, had been arrested in 2020
The U.S. judiciary seems to have reinvigorated its spirits.
It's going to dig everything behind Little St. James's Island......
(In fact, the 2024 U.S. election is approaching, and it is a critical period for the two parties to fight)
Now it seems that
The names of the big names mentioned in those declassified documents are really shocking,
But being named doesn't mean they face charges,
There are also many unclarified details of the plaintiff's allegations.
Naturally, it cannot be proved that people like Hawking and Trump have violated the law.
After all, many names simply appear in Epstein's documents
(It cannot be ruled out that Epstein himself likes to brag about his friendship with someone to build a momentum for himself, plus he undertakes a lot of business and academic activities, and interpersonal communication is extremely complicated)
(For example, Hawking "likes to watch unclothed gnomes solve complex equations on a very high blackboard", which is purely fabricated by netizens on the Internet).
(Hawking did share Epstein's frame, having been invited to attend an Epstein-funded conference on gravity, during which Epstein invited scientists to his private island and hosted them.)
After five years of dusty cases, the documents have been seen again.
The person concerned, Epstein, is even more full of mystery and sin.
The case is indeed complex and difficult to handle.
Although the law is to implement "there is no doubt about the guilt",
But in public opinion, it is difficult to wash the reputation of these celebrities
Before Trump's election was mired in the mystery of "Loli Island",
(The reason why Wang is not so suspicious is that all the current plaintiffs are in the same voice, saying that they have never seen him on the island, and he has a strange temper, in fact, he has long had a relationship with Epstein)
(As for Clinton, he is difficult to convict, but his frequent flights to the island have said a lot...... ）
Later, there was this list of more than 100 people to disturb the upper class of American society......
We don't really care about the impact on the celebrity circles.
But the ugliness it exposes should not be underestimated,
It shows the world that so many underage women have been subjected to unwarranted and inhuman abuse......
After nearly 30 years,
This revelation came too late, but it was definitely not the end.
Epstein's evil deeds seem far away from us,
But in fact, the haze of sexual assault on minors has never been far away.
In the United States, there is such a "place outside the law" as Lori Island,
Japan has an underage boy under the "idol godfather" Kitagawa long-term sexual abuse company Genesys,
South Korea has a cult founder who sexually assaulted tens of thousands of women,
The sin of sex has never been completely eradicated......
N号房、芽苗论坛、次元公馆......
How many sexually exploited minors have been harmed by these quagmires involving underage pornography?
Are the people who watch those videos also exploiting and hurting them?
The tragedy of the Epstein case should not be mystified by conspiracy theories,
Thus covering up the ugliness of sexual crimes.
It shouldn't be an urban legend, a strange story,
It is the youth of countless girls who have been tainted by lust, and the blood and tears that have been begging for no way for many years.
The last sentence
Can this judicial war and public opinion war be fought before the election?
