Aside from the Justice aspect for the young women, there's another possible important outcome from

this Epstein arrest, and hopefully trial, and conviction ... And I'll say 'If Guilty' ... to be PC

And that is this ... the challenge to the LEGALITY ... of Non-Disclosure Agreements as they pertain to Criminal Acts.

The very idea that these young women (mostly adolescents at the time, per the charges) were coerced into sex and paid to keep quiet, in exchange for signing NDA's ... that should be 100% AGAINST THE LAW on it's face.

That bullshit needs to end, and NOT just when it comes to sex with teens, it's need to end for ALL LAWBREAKING.

It needs to be a serious felony to ASK someone to sign an NDA (in exchange for $$$) to deny knowledge of the commission of a felony. PERIOD.

F*** that bullshit.

1. What were the ages.

2. I've read 'as young as 14' ... which raises the interesting question of 'when did they sign'?

Given that whole 'minors can't legally sign contracts' thing ... at least not w/o their parents.

If they were mostly 16-17, it's not hard to imagine it took long enough for Epstein to be caught that they were >18 when signing the NDA's, however.

3. Per Miami herald who did investigation reporting mostly 13-16 yr olds

Epstein, who has homes in Manhattan, Palm Beach, New Mexico, Paris and in the U.S. Virgin Islands, sexually abused nearly three dozen girls, mostly 13-16 years old, at his Palm Beach mansion from 1999 to 2006, according to investigators. He used the girls to help recruit other young girls as part of an operation that ran similar to a pyramid scheme. He also had recruiters who helped with his appointments, scheduling as many as three or four girls a day, the FBI probe found.

Acosta met one-on-one with Epstein’s lawyer, Jay Lefkowitz, in October 2007, at a West Palm Beach Marriott. Records reviewed by the Herald showed that it was at that meeting that Acosta agreed to a non-prosecution agreement that gave Epstein and others involved in his operation federal immunity.

On Wednesday, a federal appeals court in New York ordered the unsealing of up to 2,000 pages of documents that are expected to show evidence relating to whether Epstein and his partner, Ghislaine Maxwell, were recruiting underage girls and young women as part of an international sex trafficking operation. Maxwell, 57, has never been charged
