Billionaires work hard and play hard.

Prepare to take a shower after reading this remarkably sleazy probable cause affidavit filed in the case of Jeffrey Epstein, the billionaire financier who was arrested Sunday for soliciting sex from a masseuse at his Florida mansion. Beginning in mid-March 2005, Epstein became the target of a sexual battery probe conducted by the Palm Beach Police Department, according to the affidavit, which alleges that Epstein, 53, paid a series of underage girls to engage in sexual activity with him. Frankly, there are too many dirty details in the affidavit to properly synopsize, but, if investigators are to be believed, Epstein has a thing for teenagers, vibrators, and assorted massage lotions.

1. Just another rich guy...

Who expects his fortune to insulate him from consequences of his actions.

The sad fact is that it probably will. A fact of life in America today.

I wonder if the girl's parents were dropping them off at his house? Wouldn't surprise me in the least. Billionaires have a lower acceptability threshold.

2. Interestingly...

It seems that the alleged underage victims did not agree to testify in the end...

4. Ahahahah!

You mean, this way they will not "be dealt with" and "things won't happen" to them?

5. WWCND? What would Cosa Nostra do? n/t

6. Well, if the girls were daughters of

a Cosa Nostra member, our billionaire guy would be in serious trouble. On the other hand, if the bilionaire is a member of Cosa Nostra (probably some other network of the same type) then the girls did the smart thing (shut up).

7. Billionaire, Cosa Nostra, same thing. Power. Money. Anything goes.

8. ewwwww

I read a few pages, I couldn't stomach much more. I wonder why the personal assistant "Sarah" who obviously knew what was going on didn't do something? She's just as bad as that guy. Setting up the table and getting the oils out. Ewww. I would have to quit and punch the guy in his deformed penis before calling the law. I'm off to take a shower with betadine and boiling water.
