L. Ali Khan (Washburn University – School of Law; Legal Scholar Academy) has posted Epstein and Legal Black Holes on SSRN. Here is the abstract:
Because black holes emit no light, scientists cannot see them with telescopes. Instead, they confirm their existence by observing signs, such as the extreme distortions they cause in the visible matter around them or by watching stars orbit a void. And if you refuse to observe these signs, adopting willful blindness, you cannot detect black holes. It’s a valid question to ask whether law enforcement agencies monitored any U.S. laws, rules, or regulations that apply to Little St. James, a 71-acre island in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Epstein bought it in 1998 and turned it into an upscale resort where political figures and wealthy men came to have sex with imported underage girls. Were there any customs and immigration officers or police on the island? As far as we know, there was no routine law enforcement while the sex trafficking was operating. Anyone-girls or predators-who visited Epstein’s island fell into a vortex. But sex was just one layer of the Island.
