Unfortunately as a woman who has entirely unwillingly developed a knack for these things, this stood out in the pile of Epstein rot.
If I read him correctly, Lucien Greaves of The Satanic Temple alluded to this.
The strategy seems to have been to flood the zone with so much trash that the public just starts to normalize this shit.
Women’s rights are already in the toilet.
I would be shocked if this didn’t check out. I wasn’t even paying that much attention till I saw this. I saw this a few weeks ago and even my outrage fatigued brain recognized it as the most serious allegation I have seen to date.
Till then I was thinking we already know he raped E Jeanne and no one cares apparently.
But sexual molestation of a 13 yo and this story my, what you Americans call Spidey Sense, flagged as almost certainly credible enough to warrant a far more serious investigation than is ongoing. Saw it on The Daily Beast first.
I really felt for that kid. She seems to have lead a relentlessly hard life.

I am 80% genuinely sympathetic to the child..well woman now. She self describes as a tomboy as well. I found all the Esptein survivors very sympathetic.
But when I read about this kid biting the shit out of Trump’s dick I felt an even stronger affinity.
It is 20% self serving to the extent that after the fall of Roe v Wade and the state of society overall, if this obscenity passes (that too given how Trump came into power using qanon rumors attacking Hillary as a witch or something. I am not really a follower of Clinton but it is ott if you can get into office using bs like that and then this flies) what hope can anonymous older women like me with more pedestrian complaints about attacks on livelihoods have?
Troy Farah, this writer I follow, talks about how our primate brains are not adapted for challenges like these. So I can only vaguely feel it. But I always know it.
Surely this is a “have you no shame moment”?
I am inured to other such overtly bad shit and I know it is not acceptable. More like the Texas Cadaver Scandal with undertones of blatant disregard for women’s rights and dignity plus moral policing (I am a marijuana user) and speech and joke policing (and foul mouthed though I have never had racist or phobic thoughts. I have creepist thoughts that may be “biased” the creeps I have been harassed most by who tend to be from “my culture”!!).
But if this kid gets justice well at least it is something and really - how do I put this? Yes he raped E Jeanne and is in office. But this is a 13 yo kid. Whats next? I don’t check the id of women I assault!!!!! I didn’t know she was 13 when I assaulted her!!!! Because odds are that this story is true. There is another news story. Can’t find it:

Best case she was 15. And either way, it is splitting hairs. I can totally believe that the Daily Beast may have picked the trashier headline. It is why I generally avoid TDB.
But the other article was less spectacular and it gave a picture of the accuser that struck me.
13 or 15, the point is it is worth investigating. To hell with Megyn Kelly.
It was the narrative of screwed over underage person. I am inclined to believe her. If I am wrong then I made a mistake.
Those are typically very costly for MeToo complainants.
Shrug..it is a hunch I stand by regardless.
They are flooding the zone with trash. One is hopeless, but still hope never dies. Truth matters. To hell with the Three body problem’s methods. Just creative speculation I indulge in about “How these fine societies I am cheerfully not a part of think”. I could be “jaded”. Lol
