Epstein Revelations, California’s Child Prostitution Actions Demand Accountability

It’s an encompassing issue that anyone in the right mind would find abhorrent and unacceptable. Child prostitution, sex trafficking, and sex slavery are the most abominable acts that any adult – male or female – can inflict on a child. Yet, while elected officials and public leaders talk a big game about wanting to eradicate the practices, they allow the poison of nefarious influence and politics to interfere with applying quick solutions.

Anyone who has seen the soul-shaking movie Sound of Freedom understands the topics of child sex trafficking and child sex slavery better than most. I have seen the movie, and honestly, I know of no one who wasn’t deeply disturbed by the information contained within. I know of no one who isn’t sickened and angered that these acts still occur in the 21st Century and that those who commit these acts of barbarity aren’t executed upon conviction.

If you think that sounds harsh, think again. These opportunistic predators destroy both families and lives as they facilitate and enable pedophiles who fuel the vicious circle of destruction and depravity.

I lay a great deal of blame for the continued existence of these societal poisons at the feet of the elected and the elite, who publicly decry the crimes but then hypocritically split hairs and carve out “instances” when crafting and lobbying for legislation.

Jeffery Epstein’s Pedophile Enterprise

One case in point, as reported in The New York Post, comes to us in the original plea deal that allowed Jeffery Epstein to avoid “severe federal charges by pleading guilty to state charges of procuring a person under 18 for prostitution and solicitation of prostitution.”

In the article, it was revealed:

“Florida prosecutors heard testimony that disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein raped teenage girls, but cut a plea deal with him in 2008 anyway, according to newly released court transcripts. 

“The 150-page transcript of the 2006 grand jury investigation reveals that the court heard testimony about Epstein sexually assaulting girls as young as 14 inside his Palm Beach mansion. 

“The victims also testified and told detectives that they were paid to find Epstein more girls to assault in a harrowing case that ended with the pedophile sentenced to less than two years in prison after taking a plea deal.”

Florida Circuit Judge Luis Delgado described Epstein as “the most infamous pedophile in American history,” warning that the transcript would undoubtedly outrage, anger, and repulse anyone who read them. 

He was correct. However, two things that remain about the Epstein case are these:

1. Why would any prosecutor who had fidelity to the law and his or her obligation to the people they serve agree to a plea deal like that?

2. The list of people who joined in Epstein’s sick obsession; the other grotesque pedophiles who exploited the children who fell prey to Epstein’s sexual pied pipers, is still under seal by a court in New York. Why?

The first answer is infuriating. Politics and, specifically, the politics of influence and connection. More on that at later.

As to the sealed list of Epstein’s evil cohorts, the general argument about keeping those names secret centers on the names of those who did not engage in acts of child rape, child prostitution, child solicitation, or child sex trafficking. That’s fair. However, given the time that federal prosecutors have had access to that list, they should have been able to ferret out those on that list who did engage in those acts with Epstein. Yet, there is no talk of any ongoing investigation, and there have been no indictments of anyone else on that list.

Popular sentiment among those with an IQ over that of a cucumber seed weighs heavily on the fact that big money and big influence people are on that list, and, well, money buys silence and inaction when it rules the whorehouse political class. Nevertheless, we should all know who the prosecutors were that allowed Epstein’s crimes to continue. They shouldn’t serve in public office.

The Pedo-Gliterotti Set of The West Coast 

Anyone who doesn’t believe that the culture that brought us “casting couches,” Woody Allen, Heidi Fleiss, Roman Polanski, and Harvey Weinstein, is capable of concealing an elite child sex culture is either lying to themselves or intellectually challenged. The culture is so pervasive that the California legislature had to struggle to pass a law protecting victims of child prostitution, failing to include 16– and 17-year-olds and carving out age differentials.

Travis Gillmore of The Epoch Times reported:

“A bill that was originally introduced to make soliciting a child for sex a felony underwent additional changes in the Assembly’s Public Safety Committee July 2.

“At issue is Senate Bill 1414, authored by Republican Sen. Shannon Grove, which ‘aims to increase penalties for those who purchase children for sex,’ her office said in a press release.

“It was first amended in the Senate to exclude 16- and 17-year-old victims, make the crime a ‘wobbler’ – where prosecutors can charge offenders with a misdemeanor or a felony depending on the circumstances, and require a 10-year age gap between the offender and the victim for those convicted to register as a sex offender.

“...a motion [was made] at the July 2 hearing to remove the prior amendments, but the attempt failed.”

Imagine a place in the world where people would oppose proposed legislation that would protect teenagers from child predators. Welcome to California.

Gillmore continued:

“Some testifying in opposition to the bill argued during the hearing that stiffer penalties for offenders are ineffective and could traumatize those who are sentenced to prison.”

Should anyone, anywhere, give a rat’s ass about whether those sent to prison for raping a child are “traumatized”? I hope they are. They should be!

To be fair, Grove and several other clear-thinking members of the California Legislature, including Sen. Susan Talamantes Eggman, took issue with the “wobbler” pedophile protectors, with Eggman saying, “I’m done with us protecting people who would buy and abuse our children.” The obvious question is this: Why was anyone protecting them in the first place?

The Facts Of The Matter

The argument that supports the notion that pedophiles can never be cured revolves around several key aspects, including the neurobiological basis of pedophilia, the limitations of current treatment methods, and the persistence of pedophilic attractions.

Pedophilia, defined as a sexual attraction towards prepubescent children, is believed to have a neurobiological basis. For pedophiles, this disorder bleeds over into including underage children and teenagers under the age of consent.

Studies have shown that pedophilia may be associated with differences in brain structure and function, including reduced gray matter volume in the amygdala, prefrontal cortex, and temporal lobes (Cantor et al., 2008; Schiffer et al., 2008). These brain regions are involved in emotional processing, decision-making, and impulse control, suggesting that pedophilia may be related to disruptions in these processes.

Moreover, research has found that pedophilia may have a genetic component, with estimates of heritability ranging from 40 percent to 50 percent (Alanko et al., 2013). This implies that pedophilia and its extensions may be partly determined by genetic factors, further supporting the idea that it is a deeply ingrained and most likely incurable condition.

The primary treatment approach for pedophilia and its extensions is cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) combined with pharmacological interventions, such as anti-androgens or selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). However, the efficacy of these treatments in reducing or eliminating pedophilic attractions is limited and, therefore, undependable as treatment.

While CBT may be marginally effective in reducing recidivism rates among convicted sex offenders, there is little evidence to suggest that it can fundamentally alter pedophilic attractions (Seto, 2013). In fact, some studies have shown that individuals with pedophilia may experience increased feelings of shame and self-loathing following CBT, which can exacerbate their risk of reoffending (Långström et al., 2015).

One has to wonder why the radical treatment of electroshock therapy, also known as electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), hasn’t been explored, given how psychiatry was so quick to use the “treatment” on all mental disorders in the 1940s, 1950s, and 1060s.

If It Can’t Be Treated, It Can’t Be Controlled

Research has consistently shown that pedophilic attraction – and its extension – tends to be stable and persistent over time, even in the absence of sexual activity with children (Seto, 2013). This suggests that pedophilia is not a "phase" that individuals can grow out of but rather a deeply ingrained and enduring aspect of their sexual orientation.

Moreover, studies have found that individuals with pedophilia often report feeling a strong emotional connection to children (Schmidt et al., 2013). This emotional attachment makes it difficult for pedophiles – like Jefferey Epstein and his pedophilic friends – to fully engage with treatment or, in fact, even want to engage in treatment, contributing to the persistence of pedophilic attractions and their ensuing crimes against children.

Given all of the evidence that establishes as truth the idea that pedophilia and its extension into attraction to under-aged children is not a choice, but a serious disorder that exists – constantly – to threaten our children, how can anyone turn a blind eye to the matter?

Yet, today, the epidemic of pedophilia fuels a network of evil that perpetuates sex slavery and sex trafficking, with a large number of those being enslaved and trafficked being children.

Child trafficking affects every country in the world, not just the United States. Children make up 27 percent of all human trafficking victims worldwide, and two out of every three identified child victims are girls. Here are some additional statistics:

• Between 244,000 and 325,000 American youth are considered at risk for sexual exploitation

• An estimated 199,000 incidents of sexual exploitation of minors occur each year in the United States

• Approximately 300,000 children are taken from around the world and sold by human traffickers as slaves every year

• An estimated one million children are exploited for commercial sex globally, with the majority being girls

• Trafficking for sexual slavery accounts for 79 percent of cases, with most victims being female, and about 20 percent of them are children

• In the United States, about 28 percent of the 17,000 people brought here as trafficking victims are children (approximately 13 children per day)

• Human trafficking – including the trafficking of children – can also involve forced labor, domestic servitude, organ trafficking, debt bondage, and recruitment of children as child soldiers

• In reality, a majority of victims are trafficked by someone they know, such as a friend, family member, or romantic partner

• Some children can be trafficked and exploited from their own homes

According to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC), in 2020, they received over 21.7 million reports of suspected child sexual exploitation, including child pornography and online enticement (National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, 2021).

Additionally, the NCMEC's CyberTipline received over 65,000 reports of suspected online enticement of children for sexual purposes in 2020.

The International Labour Organization (ILO) estimates that there are approximately 4.3 million people trapped in forced sexual exploitation globally, with a significant proportion of these being children (ILO, 2017).

The United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) reported that in fiscal year 2021, over 147,000 unaccompanied children – and that number is just those that were accounted for, not to include “got aways” – were encountered at the US-Mexico border (DHS, 2021). While not all of these children are victims of sex trafficking, there is a high probability of exploitation; exploitation by people like Epstein and his cohorts.

An Ugly Answer To An Ugly Problem

So, since pedophilia is intrinsic in those who are afflicted with it, and since there are monsters in the world who seek to profit from fueling the insatiable appetites of pedophiles, what is the answer to the problem?

Honestly, because those who profit from child sex trafficking and enslavement – as well as all forms of human trafficking and enslavement – are conducting their evil in full knowledge of the crimes and damages they are committing, the penalty everywhere in the world – and that includes California – should be death. If you are convicted of sex trafficking and/or facilitating sex slavery, you should be executed. While some would argue that the death penalty is not a deterrent, eliminating just one of these subhuman creatures means one less predator in the world.

As for the pedophiles themselves – a demographic finding the shadows of safe harbor within the manufactured “trans movement,” the intrinsic affliction has no cure and no recognized way to alter or affect the elimination of the behavior. Therefore, those who demonstrate adversity to efforts meant to prevent their poison from seeping into the public square; those who fail to acknowledge and submit their inability to safeguard society from tier uncontrollable predatory sexual addiction, should be dealt with as harshly as those who fuel their addictions.

As outraged at the harsh solution outlined here may be to some, consider this. If you were okay with our government – and the governments of the world – insisting on the sequestration of the elderly from families as they lay dying in nursing homes under the faux pretenses of COVID – if you are okay with the international globalist community (many of whom are guilty of allowing the cancer of pedophilia and sex slavery and sex trafficking to linger) being given the authority to sequester people globally over unproven claims of pandemic, then you should be quite alright with permanently sequestering a proven pathogen in pedophilia from the public square. And that takes a lot more than putting on a paper mask.

Until the world wakes up to the need for harsh solutions, it isn’t too much to ask that prosecutors quit cutting plea deals with these monsters and adopt a zero-tolerance policy toward those who practice these evils.

“I hope, by being honest about what happened to me, to help nourish a culture of honesty that might make something different – and better – possible. We really need to squarely face the issue of child abuse in America, and to look at our perversity, our illness.” – Laura Mullen
