We have heard a lot about Virginia Giuffre, the poster girl of the Einstein sex-trafficking of under-age females. In 2009 Virginia Giuffre accepted $500,000 from Epstein to drop a lawsuit, the terms of which forbade claims against other “potential defendants.”

Thirteen years later in 2022 Giuffre received an estimated $16 million from Prince Andrew in an out-of-court settlement in which he admitted to no wrong. For some reason, she was not required to keep to the terms of the previous settlement in which she released other “potential defendants.” Little doubt her attorneys smelled a large fee from a charge against Prince Andrew. Public accusations in a lawsuit would embarrass the Royal family and result in a large out-of-court settlement whether the charge was true or false. It is possible that the charge is false, but that $16 million was too much to walk away from. As lawyers understand, many “settlements” are “extortions.”

The emphasis in the whore media is always that the women were under-aged. Below is a map of the age of female sexual consent in the 50 US states as of 2025. In 32 of the states, the age of female consent is 16 years old. In eight of the states the consent age is 17 years old, and in only 10 US states is the age of consent 18 years old. Unless Virginia Giuffre was a resident in one of these 10 states, she was not under-age. Keep in mind that the alleged under-aged sexual events occurred two or three decades ago when the age of female sexual consent was lower. Possibly at the time the events are said to have occurred, no state had 18 years as the age of female sexual consent.https://www.bhwlawfirm.com/legal-age-consent-united-states-map/

In other words, the media insistence on under-age sex might be a hoax, and what we may be really dealing with is prostitution. Do we really believe that the Virginia Giuffre we see in the photo smiling and looking pleased with herself standing together with Prince Andrew was kidnapped and brought to Epstein’s Island by force and coercion?What about the hundreds or thousands of other under-age girls who were allegedly kidnapped and forced into sex-trafficking? Is this a credible accusation?

How exactly does one manage a kidnapping operation of this magnitude?

We can go further and inquire if the millions of pages of Epstein files and his income tax returns indicate income from the sex-trafficking of hundreds of children?As I understand it from the reports from investigators of Epstein’s sources of income, his main source of income was devising tax evasion schemes for a few clients.

Still, we can go further. Virginia Giuffre’s large settlement payments must have inspired others, and as there were allegedly so many rich and distinguished man who visited the alleged sex Island–persons such as Bill Gates and former US President Bill Clinton–why have only Epstein and Prince Andrew been targeted?

A couple of large banks, Deutsche Bank and JP Morgan Chase, paid out $75 million and U$ 290 million to anonymous women (Jane Doe 1) for the unproven “crime” of providing Epstein with banking services that allegedly facilitated his sex- trafficking business. This seems to be a nebulous charge, for which a legal basis is unclear. But in anatmosphere of a witch hunt, it is understandable.https://www.npr.org/2023/06/12/1181675580/epstein-jane-doe-1-290-million-settlement-jpmorgan-chase
