Trump and Epstein

Quote: missedhervee

How do you know none of them were or were not victims of opportunistic predation?

Furthermore, I suspect most of the women would prefer not to have their sordid past put on display today.

You do know that these women were models representing Hawaiian Tropic, the American suntan lotion brand, at an event at Mar-a-Lago, don't you???

Dershowitz defends 1997 ‘statutory rape is an outdated concept’ column
Dershowitz was a member of the team that got convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein a plea deal that sent him to prison for 18 months.

Dershowitz, a prominent defense lawyer and emeritus Harvard University law professor, himself faces accusations of sexual abuse from two of Epstein’s alleged victims — Virginia Roberts Giuffre and Sarah Ransome. He vehemently denies the accusations against him

Dersh is a defense lawyer-and a very good one at that. Of course he's going to be skewed towards defending the actions of his clients and thinking like a defense lawyer.

You may be wondering how on earth did a jury find Donald Trump liable for sexually assaulting E. Jean Carroll but not for raping her—and what’s the difference anyway? Welcome to the decade-long battle in New York state to change the definition of rape in the first degree (aka Rape 1).

In New York, a victim needs to convince a jury that a man put his penis in her vagina without her consent in order to prove rape. This is the layman’s translation of Rape 1, currently defined in criminal statute as forcible compulsion through “penetration, however slight, of the penis into the vaginal opening.”


It’s harder to prove than it sounds, because juries tend to get really hung up on the physics of a rape. Did the penis penetrate or merely have “contact” with the victim’s vagina? What if it wasn’t his penis, but just a finger—perhaps the view taken by some of the jurors in Carroll’s case (though she says both)? If she was also anally penetrated—which is not technically rape—can she be sure that she was also vaginally penetrated? None of this amounts to a hell of a lot of difference to the victim—who has to sit through the humiliation of a trial splitting hairs over which human organ touched which of her body parts and to what degree to the satisfaction of 12 random strangers.

Is that where Trump was giving out his novelty condoms?
