The ‘Epstein-Barr’ Problem of New York City’s Dalton School

Excerpt...
Epstein, who was charged last week by federal authorities in the Southern District of New York with sex trafficking with sex-trafficking and conspiracy to commit sex-trafficking, was a 20 year old college drop-out when he was hired to teach at Dalton by the school’s headmaster Donald Barr in the mid 1970’s. Donald Barr was the father of current United States Attorney General William Barr, who is currently overseeing Epstein’s prosecution.
According to at least one former student, Dalton alums have long joked about Barr’s hiring of Epstein..
“The joke has been [that] this is the Epstein-Barr problem at Dalton, said Harry Segal, a 1974 graduate who is now a senior lecturer at Cornell University and Weill Cornell Medical College, in an interview with the Huffington Post. Epstein-Barr is a type of herpes virus best known as the cause of infectious mononucleosis.
Scott Spizer, who graduated in 1976, said that Epstein was most remembered for his “persistent attention” on teenage girls in the hallways, recalled a night when the young educator showed up at a party where Dalton students were drinking.
“I can remember thinking at the time, ‘This is wrong,’” Spizer said in an interview with the New York Times.

Virginia Giuffre had some demons. In the end, she was a fervent supporter of Trump.

And she's a known talker. I think working at Maralago would be newsworthy to say the least.
