Opinion | Steve Krakauer: Jeffrey Epstein's downfall and the crumbling of America's elites. - NBCNewsTHINK
It was December 2010, and Jeffrey Epstein was sitting down for dinner with some of his famous friends — personalities who spanned the TV dial from morning to late night. There was George Stephanopoulos, then the host of Good Morning America, CBS Evening News anchor Katie Couric, and E! comedian and late-night host Chelsea Handler. It was 18 months after Epstein had been released from “prison” for pleading guilty to a lesser charge of solicitation of prostitution with a minor.
Accused of far worse, Epstein pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of solicitation of prostitution with a minor. The dinner also took place less than a year after Epstein settled “at least a dozen civil lawsuits … filed by women who allege they were molested by Epstein when they were underage,”. It was a mere five months after the registered sex offender finished his probation and was allowed to leave the state of Florida.
The downfall of Epstein is great news for his victims who were denied justice the first time around, But it’s also the latest example of a recent, broader phenomenon.
