Mangofrozo wrote: » By the sounds of it the women were perfectly happy to do the recruiting, they knew exactly what they were doing, for their own self interest. Believe it or not women can also be the perpetrators, not just victims.

It's a win win for the ringleaders - a constant supply of new victims and also previous victims now involved so that they will be less likely to spill the beans given that they will also be implicated.

There will be people who get lured in young and continued in the life, that's what happens in prostitution. The older ones bring in younger ones. Epstein trafficked in children.
