I know one person IRL who was a frequenter of Little St John Island, aka Epstein Island. Wealthy man who made that trip regularly. He was not particularly attractive but he was wealthy. This is the place old wealthy men would go to get sexual satisfaction when nobody else will give it to them.

He's not famous. He's a very private person. Naming him would do no good. It would be like naming your next door neighbor. Nobody knows him.

That is not true. There is no accountability if people keep protecting them. Leak his name. It will help current investigators. It will help future prosecutors. If you don’t do it here or elsewhere, then YOU are not better than him.

He's my friend. I'm not going to doxx him on the internet under the meaningless pressure of some Lemmy stranger. He & I spent a whole year together having fun & biking & yoga & paddle boarding & swimming. The moment you begin to mean more to me than he does, then we'll talk.

How is your behavior any different than the multitude in power and authority who turned a blind eye? Have you considered the life of those he abused? Have you considered the moral battle that is happening?

The moment you begin to mean more to me than he does, then we’ll talk.

Decency and a will against abject evil should be all that it takes to do the right thing. You don’t want to leak here? Fine. ProPublica.
