Here is an article with a picture of the 17 year-old who is at the center of the current story. I remember an earlier article stating that she really liked the private helicopter pilot training she received that was paid for by the Ephebophilia sufferer. Forgive my skepticism that she falls into the pimped-out teenage runaway category that DayDreamer described in an earlier post with respect to why US laws make an age of consent distinction between sex that is compensated and not compensated.

For the scholarly, here is pretty good article as to why the current litigation matters, minus the sensationalism regarding the significant names such as Clinton, Prince Andrew, and Dershowitz.

I just hope some article reminds everyone that Ken Starr helped represent him. That should piss off some conservatives and generate some lawyer jokes.
Patron, read the article you posted. Your argument you present of raising the age of consent for prostitution does not apply here. Roberts, now 30, was 15 when she met Epstein. She said she was in training for being a prostitute for his guests. Roberts said she was 17 when she had sex with Prince Andrew. In Florida, the age of consent for Epstein and Andrews is 18. Never mind the prostitution allegations. It's 18 if you pay or do not pay.
Now 30 and living in California, Miss Roberts was 15 and working as a changing room assistant at a club in Palm Beach, Florida, owned by Mr Trump, when she met Epstein.
They visited Epstein’s mansion nearby where she was said to have been ordered to strip and straddle his naked body. ‘My face was red with embarrassment but I felt under immense pressure to please them,’ she said.
‘The whole time it was going on, they were promising me the world, that I’d travel with Jeffrey on his private jet and have a well-paid profession.’
Epstein paid her $200 for what he called the ‘erotic massage’ and told her to return the next day.
She spent the next four years with Epstein. For three of those years, she was under Florida’s age of consent – 18.
‘Basically, I was training to be a prostitute for him and his friends who shared his interest in young girls,’ she says.
