I think the term sex trafficking is used too widely here. It has connatations of violent gangsters kidnapping women and selling them for sex, using the term to descibe was Epstein was up to belittles those poor women sold for sex. To me the women/girls Epstein exploited were willing partners, i do not think any crime has been committed here, years ago we just called it growing up. I remember girls in my high school fucking at the age of 15, really, its patronising.
Wow... Sorry, I'm afraid I'll have to vehemently disagree!!

John Peel married a 15 year old when he was 26, that tends to get glossed over for some reason. It was in Texas in 1965 though so all nice and legal...
As ever, it's a matter of context; these things aren't 'black or white'.
The issue of reasonable consent must be considered, plus I'd contend that there's a big difference between the relationship you're stating with JP, between himself, at 26, and a 15-year old girl, and that of, say, Epstein as a 67-year old man (before he 'died') and any 'relationships' he'd had with procured minors!
And if Andy-Pandy's guilty of the same 'capers', especially any involvement in Epstein's sex trafficking, then he deserves to be found out and punished for it by the FULL force of the law, Royal or no Royal!!
