    It isn’t a witch hunt. He is a known child sex trafficker the and statistics are clear. The minuscule number of people exposed to him vs the size of the greater population isn’t even a blip on the radar. These sorts of sex traffickers are experts at covering their tracks, so a wide net around the super tiny population exposed to this creep is not only sensible, it is really the only way forward to safeguard the future.

      I think a lot of people didn’t realize he was a sex trafficker early on. He was just a rich, influential guy who would give you a cool ride on his fancy plane. It could take a while for a naive person to put 2 and 2 together. I only speak from the point of view of my own personality: I’ve always been overly naive, but I bet there are others like me.

      So you’re essentially saying “idc if we catch Innocents”? That’s not a good look. I’m all for the proper punishment of rich pieces of shit, but Benjamin Franklin had a bit about this.

      So you’re on board with punishing people without a hint of due process? And it doesn’t matter if innocent people get caught up in it? Sounds familiar…

      You should really examine your position there.

        The mega rich associated with a known child sex trafficker are far from innocent. Every person involved will be held accountable.
