Oh, I would never think you were minimizing Epstein and Maxwell, not ever. I went back to the article and the police stated they received information and inquiries are going on. They also emphasized they need any of the victims to participate with any information. This is just an early stage.
Epstein was fascinated with royalty especially the British Royal Family. I read an article earlier in the year that stated Epstein really wanted a "friendship" with Charles, but realized that wasn't going to happen, so he "settled" for Andrew. I don't know if any of that story is true. Andrew was ideal, he wasn't too bright, he has a huge ego, can be manipulated and didn't question anything as long as he could have a good time.
