    “disgraced financier and accused sex trafficker”

    Accused?

    Convicted.

    Motherfucker plead guilty to solicitation of a minor in 2008.

    He is not an accused sex trafficker.

    And why the fuck did you lead with finance?

    “Disgraced sex trafficking serial rapist, alleged serial murderer and foreign secret intelligence agent Jeffery Epstein…”

    Someone at the guardian is for sure in the fucking files.

      Soliciting a minor wouldn’t be considered as sex trafficking though, be would it? I agree though that this is a heinously cowardly description of the man…

          Well yeah, OP was nitpicking the word “accused” rather than “convicted” when he was not, in fact, a convicted sex trafficker. Words matter, accuracy matters, especially these days…
