    Selling sex for career advancement is a form of prostitution, not a 'power imbalance'. If it's wrong then the prostitutes should be prosecuted as well, rather than being worshipped as 'victims'.

    It can be both.

    A prostitute with no power taking whatever work is offered is hardly indicative of balance.

    Just because there's a market doesn't mean it's not balanced.

    While I think sex work should not be demonized as it is, I agree that both parties participating should be prosecuted - however, that prosecution should also consider the power dynamic balance to actually be fair in its justice. Most justice systems are anything but fair.

    The SJW victimhood worship is a whole other can of worms.

    Theoretically, agreed.

    "Sexual coercion" a better term? Or maybe "sexual compromise via career ambition"?

    Sexercion?

    Sounds like a porn parody with an exorcist.

    Money says he'll get out in 3 to 5. Or they'll spring him from prison like Epstein.

    Cosby was a serially drugging and raping. He'll probably only serve 3 and be released in 2021.

    [–]JasonCarswell 3 insightful - 3 fun3 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 3 fun -  (9 children)

    They won't kill him.

    He won't spill the beans on a secret network of elite pedo blackmail rings and he certainly won't expose the propaganda psy-op that is Hollywood.

    If anything they'll let him suffer as long as possible. Power likes suffering. Assuming this is legit.

    I highly doubt Epstein is dead.

    Epstein is an asset to whoever controls him,no way he is dead.

    [–]JasonCarswell 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

    Unless he outlived his value.

    [–]JasonCarswell 1 insightful - 3 fun1 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 3 fun -  (5 children)

    Reasons?

    I don't know and don't really care, as long as he's impotent in every sense of the word. Though I wouldn't mind if he (and all his kind) suffered until the end of days.

    IMO, Epstein is in Schrödinger's box.

    [–]Tom_Bombadil 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (4 children)

    Morale.

    High level agents would get spooked if they see one of their own unceremoniously murdered in their jail cell; murdered to keep them quiet.

    It's proof that the bosses have their backs if they ever get caught.

    It's worth the political capital to get them released, and boost agent morale.

    Plus, Epstein had dirt on everyone. No doubt he kept copies as the dead man's key.

    They off their own often enough. Someone like him was beyond notorious - he was legend - and the kind they don't want.

    I wasn't aware of all the Mena Arkansas stuff back then, so I don't know about the "legend" status, but I wonder if this is akin to Barry Seal. There are countless other examples, but that one just really wanted out of my head.

    The players in the game make/know the rules.

    [–]Tom_Bombadil 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (2 children)

    Barry Seal was murdered, because he threatened to expose Bush Sr.

    I doubt Epstein had dirt on his masters. Just dirt on everyone else, on his masters behalf.

    I know for a fact that we don't know everything about Epstein, what was going on, with his masters, lawyers, jailers, assassins, etc etc etc. Maybe he was going to expose more than his egg-shaped penis.

    We can't ever know. Maybe he was more than just one of their own. Maybe he was an example.

    The worst fact ever.

    To this man, 23 years in prison is a life sentence.

    The AVERAGE male life expectancy in the US, including people OUTSIDE prison is on the order of 76 years. The current sentence says he'll get out at 90.
