      He wasn’t though, except in the court of public opinion. He’s been acquitted or found not liable in all of the cases which have gone to trial.

        Oh, I didn’t follow it closely but I was convinced he was convicted of sexual abuse. I guess it just speaks about the power of public opinion even if you don’t get formally convicted. For better or worse.

          he was convicted of sexual abuse

          Only by the people who were nowhere near the court cases. E.g. at least half of the Internet.

              Unless there’s evidence connecting him to the deaths then yes just a coincidence

              You mean one dead accuser?

              The second one never did anything other than press runs.

              The third one was a convicted stalker.

        That fits with his preference for the truth to come out.

        But will Epstein make a difference here any more than winning court cases did to restore Spacey’s image?

        We actually don’t know that. We just know for sure that he and Maxwell trafficked little girls for a whole bunch of famous and powerful people who killed him before he could talk.

          I’m sure there’s a different operation that caters for men that like little boys run by someone else we don’t know about.

            We need to ask lindsey graham if there is one. Even if he didn’t use the services, I bet he knows what it is.

      Of course you can be convicted more than once for the same crime. If it happened to different victims in different occasions, you can.
