Yeah, seriously. It actually sounds like she might have had it even worse than his “normal” victims. What an absolutely disgusting piece of shit. As time goes on and we learn more, he only looks more and more fundamentally evil.
Brad Edwards, an attorney for Doe, told The Daily Beast, “In addition to Epstein’s rotation of victims, there was typically one person who he made believe was his girlfriend, usually completely in the dark about his criminal abuse.”
“Jane Doe 200 was that girlfriend during this period of time, which means she learned more information than most other victims,” Edwards added. “In the end, Epstein violently raped her in a manner far worse than his usual modus operandi. This victim has lived in a particular fear for a long time and she deserves justice.”
You do realize that someone can rape their spouse/partner right? The article does state that they were romantically involved for a year prior to the rape, so ex would be appropriate here.
Wtf? No I’m not defending anyone, are you serious? I’m just saying that the fucking newspaper headline is accurate and isn’t disparaging/insensitive to the victim in the situation.
Jesus fucking christ you are primed and ready to fucking go with your outrage. The article didn’t mention anything about the victim being a minor when they met, or about her being groomed. If that’s the case, yeah super fucked up, no shit. I literally opened the article after reading the post I responded to, read it, saw that it said the victim and Epstein were in a consensual relationship, then he raped her a year later.
If I’m missing context blame the article, not me dude.
I’m sort of on the fence here. On the one hand, I agree with you. But also, they apparently had a relationship that is over, and pointing out that she was his ex lends implicit credibility to her statements. Calling her his rape victim, which would also be true, would imply a bias and undercut her objectivity.
An ex can be a rape victim and vice versa. So choosing how to frame the headline matters a lot.
Calling a rape victim an “ex” is a special kind of fucked up.

jesus fucking christ, you know shit’s really fucked when the people against you have hit anonymous victim number 200

How are you seriously going to defend a pedophile? He manipulated her into believing she was his girlfriend while she was his child sex slave.
Quit defending pedophiles.

Sadly your situation is more common than we’d hope on Lemmy.
Even more on common Reddit, but ya, you can’t really escape it lol.
Pissing on the poor is lemmy’s favourite sport.
