Analysis by Channel 4 News has identified emails within the latest Epstein files that suggest that the mountain of information released by the US Department of Justice could amount to just a fraction of the total – potentially just 2% of the information that the FBI retrieved from Epstein’s homes.
How does CSAM tell you anything about the abuser? It only reveals the victim.
Often the abuser is in the photo. That’s led to the arrest of many a child abuser. The only reason that releasing the evidence in this case is necessary is that the people who we usually trust to look at the evidence and pursue the guilty party are not doing their fucking jobs.
Really? You see a lot of CSAM? That’s not my understanding of it at all, but I’ll defer to the expert
That’s fine, becoming an expert in the field is a fucking nightmare. Even the people who can stomach it need regular therapy to keep them from suffering too much trauma. I would not recommend it.
I do not see a lot of csam, I’m not in law enforcement or the legal arts. However, I’ve worked with people who do both, and there’s also plenty of literature on the subject. Studying the material itself is absolutely necessary to solve a lot of these crimes.
It’s not often the abusers directly showing their face, but that does happen more often than you think. Criminals are often dumb. But you can tell a lot from the backgrounds, or objects carelessly left in view, like newspapers or phones or food wrappers. Locations can be determined. If the child can be identified and it’s unclear who took the pictures, you can identify the people they were in contact with and use the photos to narrow down the search.
In this case, the photos were taken partly as blackmail material, so they are very useful to find the people guilty of the abuse, and prove their guilt.
Now, I am sure you would agree that what should happen is that the DOJ and the FBI should go over all this evidence, using all the resources they have available, the professional investigators, etc, which does not require releasing any pictures to the public. Any that do get released, to satisfy the public right to know, should be carefully redacted to protect identities of the victims, not show their bodies even if they cannot be identified, etc, because that is basic decency.
WE ARE WAY PAST FUCKING “SHOULD”.
The FBI and DOJ are dead. They are useless sacks of shit. They have been captured by the people who did the crime. There is now no alternative but to crowdsource the justice that has been denied by normal means. That means that the pictures should be released, with victims redacted, and abusers left visible, so the world can know who they are and exact what justice can be obtained by whatever means.
Yes, that’s not ideal. Ideal left the conversation years ago.
