The latest tranche of files expose how he was viewed as a sexual svengali – and an expert on dodging the #MeToo movement, says Guardian US columnist Moira Donegan
The sheer number of Epstein’s connections to the rulers of our world is dizzying. So, too, reading the emails, is the willingness of his circle to continue their relationships with him despite his convictions for sex crimes – even, in some cases, to view them as a source of expertise. Seeking his advice and friendship was seemingly far more important than the rape and assault endured by powerless girls. “Just as the MeToo movement has gone too far so has Botox,” Soon-Yi Previn wrote to Epstein. To which one might counter that what has really gone too far is these people’s impunity.
In some of those exchanges, Summers — who is married — sought, received, and followed Epstein’s advice for seducing a much-younger economic student. The emails would be really gross and creepy and disgusting even if Summers’s correspondent had been some unknown friend and not also the world’s most notorious pedophile and sex trafficker.
