We note that these events occurred a long time ago and were emotionally charged, a circumstance which can cause people to have faulty memories. Indeed, we think that some of the evidence seems to contradict the victim's claims thatMas present when they, as minors, were sexually molested by Epstein. To be clear, we are not asserting that this victim is lying about Epstein abusing her. Our point is simply that this occurred . years ago and that she appears to be confused about the timing of events and who was present. =does not doubt that Epstein abused these women, as he did with almost all oung women and girls he came into contact with, but the available evidence does not support the assertion that was present for or witnessed any sexual abuse of these victims while they were minors.
