Allegations in Epstein files may amount to 'crimes against humanity,' UN experts say
Feb 17 (Reuters) - Millions of files related to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein suggest the existence of a "global criminal enterprise" that carried out acts meeting the legal threshold of crimes against humanity, according to a panel of independent experts appointed by the United Nations Human Rights Council.
The experts said crimes outlined in documents released by the U.S. Justice Department were committed against a backdrop of supremacist beliefs, racism, corruption and extreme misogyny.
The crimes, they said, showed a commodification and dehumanization of women and girls.
"So grave is the scale, nature, systematic character, and transnational reach of these atrocities against women and girls, that a number of them may reasonably meet the legal threshold of crimes against humanity," the experts said in a statement.

I'm not sure this whole thing meets the standard for a scandal. I'd say it's more of a kerfuffle.

Not to panic, people. Someone in a position of power has had enough.

Jeanine Pirro ‘disappointed’ in legislators for protecting pedophiles: ‘Shame on them’
|
Quote:
|
“I am disappointed with the thought that legislators are more concerned about lobbyists for certain organizations and getting reelected than justice for sexual abuse victims,” a furious Pirro said in an exclusive interview with the Daily News on Wednesday. “Shame on you. Shame on you.”

Quote:
|
“I don’t care if you own half of New York City,” said Pirro... “I don’t care if you are the one giving me Eucharist on Sunday. You are not above the law.”

Well I, for one, expect every single person exposed on the Epstein list to face consequences.

I get the impression that this Epstein fellow is not so much of a fine and upstanding citizen as he may attempt to portray.

Ro Khanna calls for select committee as UN experts cite 'crimes against humanity' in Epstein files
https://news.meaww.com/ro-khanna-cal...-epstein-files
Quote:
The UN experts issued their statement on Monday after reviewing publicly released materials, including approximately 3.5 million pages of documents. They concluded that the scale and pattern of the alleged abuses point to what they described as a potential “global criminal enterprise.”
The panel cited allegations involving sexual exploitation, trafficking, and other forms of abuse, arguing that if proven as part of a widespread or systematic attack against civilians, such acts could meet the definition of crimes against humanity under international law.
