11. These 'model parties' were openly discussed in the press at the time.

Young women and girls paraded in front of wealthy mostly married men. Thinly disguised 'escort agencies'. The models were paid a pittance, and needed to earn 'tips' in order to survive. Many went on to a second 'career' as 'trophy wife'. The main reason the women won't come forward are: 1) Payoffs and NDA's (Many in divorce decrees, think Ivana and Marla), 2) Death threats, 3) Marriage to their 'Johns" and 'spousal privilege'. And never forget the old standby: "She just 'disappeared'". The rich pimps and their customers had lawyers, judges and politicians on their side offering protection from investigation, prosecution or civil lawsuits. The women had no one in their court. 'Me too" took the lid partially off, but the elevation of Trump and corruption of the DOJ slammed it back on, tight. Un-redacting the names and images in the Epstein files may help, but I believe the really damning stuff has either been destroyed or squirreled away in a vault for blackmail purposes. Is this all speculation? Perhaps, but I do remember articles over the years documenting these type of abuses and practices. Trump was up to his eyeballs in it.
