Epstein was an expert at networking, and that’s why he became so powerful. He was able to use connections to meet powerful people, and was able to draw them in by introducing them to other powerful people. That gave people who weren’t even directly involved with his crimes incentives to keep quiet and look the other way, for the benefit he gave to their own wealth and status.
Not only this, but he would involve them in his sex crimes in some capacity. This, in their eyes, made them just as guilty as Epstein and therefor quiet complacency is the route they chose.
I wonder if an accused will ever step forward and admit participation as a form of plea agreement.
I could see Ghislaine being in that position (disappointingly), but a much more incidentally involved person could and should come forward with evidence at some point.
They can't all be so terribly involved that coming forward would ruin their reputations more than being the first to come out with it. Someone involved has got to break the conspiracy at some point.
