How Epstein was allowed to exist
Most people think Epstein was an exception.
He wasn’t.
In the U.S., 97–98% of sexual assaults never lead to prison.
That teaches a simple lesson:
👉 If you hurt someone sexually, you’ll probably get away with it.
So victims learn:
• reporting is exhausting • nothing usually happens • powerful people are protected
And perpetrators learn
• delay works • silence works • the system doesn’t stop you
Epstein didn’t beat the system. He used it exactly as designed.
A system that rarely punishes sexual violence creates serial abusers and networks around them.
Epstein wasn’t the cause.
He was the result.
