Latest Breaking News

... but from what I've read in the Miami Herald and others investigative news stories is this:
Maxwell and Epstein did most of their recruiting of young girls/women from poor circumstances. Girls who were from broken homes, missing or indifferent parents, runaways or high school dropouts, etc. These were girls who wouldn't be missed if they didn't come home on time, or if they didn't come home at all. Once they recruited one girl, they got her to bring in as many friends from the same age group as possible.

The girls who are usually involved in beauty contests and such, these girls were from families that kept tight control on their whereabouts. These girls were invested in, the parents were always watching and usually accompanied them everywhere. The only way Chump was able to see them "dressing" was that parents weren't allowed in the backstage dressing rooms. But the parents were certainly nearby since the contestants had to be accompanied. It takes a lot of money (from the parents) for these girls to participate in beauty pageants, that was Chump's scam all along.

For these reasons, I don't believe there was any "recruiting" going on at the Miss Teen beauty contests. Not for the type of trafficking that Epstein and Maxwell engaged in.
