Assuming the allegations that they had sex are true, I think the most likely scenario, and the one that Minsky believed, was that she was a completely willing paid escort. It's only in hindsight that you think it must have been obvious she was coerced in some way. Why would he assume a billionaire had not simply used some of his money to pay for escorts? Isn't that more logical, without knowing what you know today about Epstein?
- romwell 7y ago"Huh, this billionaire bought me a child prostitute. Neat." ...I don't think it makes it any better.
- kelnos 7y agoAh, yes, the "only in hindsight" defense. I don't buy it. A paid escort is plausible, though, and I hadn't thought of that. However, the girl was 17. Obviously age isn't always obvious down to the year, but I would hope someone in that situation would think twice before assuming everything was kosher.
- DanBC 7y ago> completely willing paid escort ...applies to a tiny minority of people involved in prostitution sex work. When we're talking about recklessness and naivety it's not a persuasive argument to say "he thought this child was a willing prostitute".
