While the latest tranche of documents about the sex offender Jeffrey Epstein has exposed a deeply American scandal, it is Europe where the aggressive enforcement is taking place.

    The US released some of the Epstein files. We still have a long way to go before the article title is a correct statement. The overseas arrests part is accurate though.

    The US released a carefully selected, highly blacked out, portion of the Epstein files. Targeted, more than generally released.

    Has anyone been arrested overseas for raping children? All I’ve seen is arrests for giving Epstein classified information.

      The evidence for raping children is circumstantial, the evidence for disclosing classified information or financial crimes is directly in the files.

        meanwhile, literally nothing happened to trump when he stole boxes and boxes of classified docs and stored them in his fucking bathroom where anyone could (and definitely did) go in and get photos of all of it

          Is this even the worst he is publicly known to have done? The 2020 coup attempt and aiding the GRU in attacking domestic targets (both of which are outright treason) rank higher in my view, and would be slam-dunk convictions in any country with a functioning legal system and a modicum of democracy.

            The publicly available crimes are clearly the least of what this criminal/pedophile in chief has actually done.

    No consquences for crime if you’re rich in the US. Look at your government, almost all of them are criminals, tax evaders and misogynists.

    No NYT, Epstein affiliated newspaper, the US hasn’t released the Epstein files, the US has only released 2% of the Epstein files with hundreds of terabytes left undisclosed.
