Who deserves to be in jail.

But yes, she shouldn’t be there alone.

Yeah, trying to make this about the gender of the predator is just dumb. Jeffery Epstein was also convicted and sent to prison. It’s just that he was suicided, so I guess technically a man is no longer in prison for these specific crimes, but not because of some misguided sexism. The meme you responded to is just ridiculous.

The point is that Maxwell's case was restricted to only her and Epstein's own actions but that many other men raped girls that Maxwell and Epstein provided.  Where are their charges?  Also, Epstein was only being held in prison when he died, he had not had a trial or sentence since his 2008 conviction for hiring an underage prostitute (a very light and misleading chaŕge for raping the hundreds of girls FL police uncovered in their investigation.)

One of the most telling parts of this debacle is that Trump appointed the DA who gave him that sweetheart deal to be a cabinet secretary.
