General Discussion

in the sense that the student wrestlers, most of whom would have been at least 18, were molested by the team doctor during physical exams. The doctor's exams were well-known to be unnecessarily invasive and inappropriate but nobody did anything about him for years (Gym Jordan being a prime offender in this regard). Epstein's victims were younger, mostly girls with difficult family or financial circumstances, and had been specifically groomed and procured by Maxwell for Epstein. Both situations involve power imbalances; the Ohio State situation is disturbing in a different way because the molestation had been known and tolerated for years - maybe to protect the university or the team's reputation. Epstein kept his activities on the down low, known only to the rich old pervs who got to participate. I'm wondering whether Epstein would have got such a sweet deal from Alex Acosta in Florida if Maxwell had been procuring 14-year-old boys for him instead of girls.
