General Discussion

Let me clear here, from the standpoint of disparagingly referring to the victims as 'prostitutes', then absolutely yes, that's a bullshit thing to do. If you are not old enough to 'consent' (which 14 is not) then any sex (unless you're in their age group) is statutory rape

However, all of the victims were paid in exchange for sexual favors, that's why a number of them returned to the Epstein house, in some cases many times, over months or even years. It's uncomfortable to ponder, but it's factual, and testified to by the victims.

So, again, while calling a 14 yo victim 'a prostitute' is fucked up and wrong, at the same time, it's not inaccurate to say Maxwell identified, then lured and groomed the girls into a life of prostitution. That was her 'job' and that's what she did. They themselves were not 'prostitutes' they were victims, but the pattern of behavior meets the definition of 'prostitution', if that makes sense?
