At your service. And I read your Quora piece about the pedophile. A narrow escape. Think of how much more profoundly it would have affected you if you'd actually had sex with the creep.
Ya know...Epstein wasn't that guy. He paid willing teenagers who knew what they were getting into. Not that that isn't creepy. But all his victims were post-pubescent.
Prison was loaded with inmates labeled pedophiles or "chomos" who were essentially, pimps with underage whores in their stable - or even escort service owners who split the fee with the girls.
If one of those guys had an 18 year-old girl and was arrested, he'd be charged on the state or local level and get a fine, probation - or maybe a year.
If he had a 17 year-old - even if she'd been with 100 men before ever meeting the pimp or service owner? Those guys got 10 years! I never understood that.
As an ad agency owner who simply ran ads for escorts, I couldn't be prosecuted on the federal level for anything but tax fraud. But they tried to entrap me with 15 year-old girls reaching out on facebook to friend me.
Eventually, the feds told my lawyer they were done trying to set me up (my words - not theirs). It appeared that lamentably, I wasn't into underage girls. They couldn't nail me on that bullshit charge.
