(Miami Herald) How teen runaway Virginia Roberts became one of Jeff Epstein's molestation victims
Child victim Virginia Roberts was working at Pres. Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida when she was recruited by British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell to be a masseuse to Palm Beach billionaire and convicted child molester Jeffrey Epstein. She says she was groomed for sex with him and his associates, Jewish attorney Alan Dershowitz and British royal Prince Andrew among other politicians, academics, and influential elites.

Billionaire Jeffrey Epstein, close friend of Presidents Trump and Bill Clinton, arrested for child sex trafficking

He appeared in federal court on Monday in Manhattan on sex trafficking charges. He was arrested on Saturday (July 6) for allegedly running a sex trafficking operation that lured underage girls as young as 14-years-old to his mansion in Manhattan.
Epstein was previously convicted of molesting and trafficking dozens of underage girls in Florida, but he ended up serving just 13 months in county jail in a deal by the then U.S. prosecutor in Florida.
That prosecutor is the Trump administration's current Labor Sec'y Alexander Acosta [who is being called on to resign or fired by accused child molester Pres. Trump]. He cut what has been described as “one of the most lenient deals for a serial child sex offender [molester and rapist] in history.”
The plea deal allowed Epstein to avoid a federal trial and likely life in prison, and effectively ended an FBI probe into the case. Acosta is now Donald Trump’s labor secretary. Epstein has counted Presidents Donald Trump and Bill Clinton among his friends.
Democracy Now! speaks with Vicky Ward, an investigative journalist who profiled Epstein for Vanity Fair in 2003 in a piece [defanged under Epstein's influence on her editor] headlined “The Talented Mr. Epstein.”
The magazine’s editor at the time, Graydon Carter, cut out the testimonies of two young female victims Epstein allegedly molested, who had spoken to journalist Vicky Ward on the record.
Ward later wrote about the incident for The Daily Beast in an article headlined “I Tried to Warn You About Sleazy Billionaire Jeffrey Epstein in 2003.”
