Maybe not high profile in the Hollywood sense, but Matthew McKnight just got 8 years for sexually assaulting 13 women. He got one year less because he was assaulted while in Remand.

Underage girl forced to have sex with Prince Andrew, US court document claims
Quote:
The papers released by a court in New York say the alleged encounter took place on the late US financier’s private island in the US Virgin Islands. A document claims Epstein instructed the girl, referred to as Jane Doe #3, but known to be Virginia Roberts Giuffre, to “give the prince whatever he demanded and report back to him on the details of the sexual abuse”.

Epstein allegedly sexually trafficked the girl to powerful people to “ingratiate himself with them for business, personal, political and financial gain, as well as to obtain potential blackmail information”. They included “numerous prominent American politicians, powerful business executives, foreign presidents, a well-known prime minister, and other world leaders.”
Quote:
A friend of Prince Andrew said: "The US federal appeals court said in 2019 these allegations should be treated with 'extreme caution'. Allegations are not the same as facts, which is the essential premise on which justice works. Let's see if these allegations stand up, because precious few about the duke do - where's the proof?".

It looks like the Real Life Ninja, Drew Dreschel, is a real life pedo.

Um. That is an almost 500 page document that I assume covers a plethora of child sexual abuse.

Is there a censored Cole's Notes version of it? Because I dont think I want to read that.

All the powerful men's names were redacted, of course. But...

I saw an article earlier and there were specific names blacked redacted from the document.

Makes me wonder why, if the document is public record shouldn't those names be as well?

Yep, these rich and powerful men are pretty much untouchable. The fact they redacted all the men, but somehow forgot to redact two of the girl's names, who were 14 at the time, is so disgusting. It makes me sick.

As per the slate article, they did a half assed job at redacting the white men’s names. So even if they did redact the victim names, it may not have protected them.


Based on the slate article, the deposition is a waste of time. She denies everything and refutes all claims against the famous white men.

I think it's a joke about how easily a lot of outlets were able to identify who the redacted names were.

Is that bad? I dont support people's anonymity for crimes like this. The names shouldnt have been redacted in the first place.

@Nyah: Dammit, I was hoping something that hilarious was actually in there.

That would be fine if the presumption of innocence was a thing in the court of public opinion. Simply being named in something like this is itself damaging, whether or not you are actually implicated. It's an awkward balancing act of getting justice for victims while protecting the rights of the accused.

Once they're found guilty, whole different story.
