I don’t get why people keep saying things like this.
If a person is convicted of a crime and they are out of jail, it is everyone else’s right to interact with them as if they had done nothing wrong. Isn’t that how the whole system is set up?
I think the reason it feels weird is because his sentence was ridiculously short and should have been much longer. But that is not up to everyone else to compensate for. Can we instead start focusing on how shocking it is that he spent so little time in jail, and then discuss why that happened?
he got a slap on the wrist and did not serve meaningful time.
if I was a shareholder I would not want money flowing to a pedophile and would certainly not want money flowing to them as they continued to molest kids even after their sentence.
And, at the time of people dealing with Epstein before the second arrest, I thought he had “only” been convicted of a very reduced charge of something like “soliciting an underage prostitute”, not trafficking at all.
