Paul Serran’s excellent “A Pedophile’s Tale, in Three Acts” serves as a primer for Jeffrey Epstein. It covers the background behind the federal prosecution of arguably the world’s most famous sex perv.
Since Frank Report is covering the Epstein case and investigating connections Epstein has with notable figures, Serran’s report is most helpful. He makes it easy for readers to get up to speed and his interesting style makes the story fun [despite the gruesome topic].
The Epstein story has two aspects – the public story of a perv and the behind-the-scenes element, particularly of his connections and cohorts. This second element takes us beyond perversion and abuse of children and into why he did what he did and with whom. It is the story within the story that makes Epstein’s story fascinating. But first a primer on the pedophile – in three acts.

To begin with – NO. This is NOT going to be about the Island. It may be referenced occasionally, but NO. It is NOT about the Island.
This is some sort of upside-down story that BEGINS with the perp getting arrested, turns into a tale of impunity, where we meet the princess of the sex slaves and become aware how the details of international sex trafficking may be about to be exposed.
Most of this story will be told by Palm Beach Post articles, with some material by UK’s Daily Mail Online and the Miami Herald. Most of this material was released on the FBI Vaults. We will benefit from the work of many kick-ass professionals.
Act One: a Billionaire’s mansion in El Brillo Way, Palm Beach, Florida, USA.
This long piece from the Post will carry us for the first third of this story. It’s about a man who had everything – so he wanted what he could NOT legally have.
At this point in time, more than a decade after his court plead that mandates he registers as a sex-offender for the rest of his life, we can skip the presumption of innocence and state clearly: Epstein was in the habit of receiving underage girls for sexual activities.
When Palm Beach Police started surveillance of his house, they immediately knew something was amiss with the girls coming and going.
Epstein came into the public spotlight in the 90’s, when he started dating Ghislaine Maxwell, a heiress to a British newspaper mogul. Look at what the rumors about him were!
different Post article notes that he had been in probation for 5 years, following a guilty plea of stealing US Treasury checks from the mail.
Back to our story: how can someone, in a decade, go from simple mail thief to be a money manager from the super-wealthy?
Soon, his NY townhouse, as well as his ranch in New Mexico, would join his El Brillo Way mansion in calling the attention of the authorities. And of course, there’s the Island.
But NO, this is NOT going to be about the Island.
Epstein was also famous for his list of friends – which included, at one time, POTUS.
But the most troubling of these liaisons was with Bill Clinton. Epstein was also notable for his contributions to Democrat politicians.
About the turn of the century, POTUS appeared to have nice things to say about Epstein, but read that: many of the girls Epstein liked “are on the younger side”.
The Palm Beach Police investigation began in 2005, triggered by the worried mom of a 14-year-old girl.
The police interviewed 5 victims and 17 witnesses.
When he was in town, he had underage girls showing up for “massages” 2 or 3 times a day.
The cops were soon to learn how difficult it was to really nail this powerful perp.
Professor Dershowitz has an ugly part in all this. Defense lawyers have a duty to their clients – yes. BUT…
The mud-slinging at the victims had the desired effect of making Palm Beach prosecutors gun-shy. They decided to submit their evidence to a Grand Jury. Meanwhile, Epstein legal team put investigators to apply pressure on the families of the victims and witnesses.
His legal team continued to make what we – now – know for sure to be totally false statements.
Epstein’s team also successfully drove a wedge between the Police and the Prosecutors. At one point, a deal was on the table that would have not even required him to serve any jail time.
Palm Beach Police Chief Michael Reiter was furious, and went the extra mile, writing Florida’s State Attorney Barry Krischer and demanding he disqualify himself from the case.
So the case went in front of a Grand Jury, to disappointing results.
Not FOUR counts of unlawful sexual activity with a minor, like the Police was expecting.
So the PBPD asked the FBI to investigate the case, and took the opportunity to return a US$90K donation Epstein had made in 2004.
End of Act One.

Clinton is, by far, the most famous sex perv of the modern times.
This is what happens when people don’t speak up, just like what happened with Raniere. Decades of unpunished abuse.
$100,000 is lightweight political influence peddling. Amway’s families gave in the neighborhood of $200,000,000.

How many parts are there going to be? I bet it could go on for a while. Anyone who becomes the lead extortionist for the dark side, has to be one sick f#%@ . Now that they have him weak, he will be a treasure trove of help. The nice thing about these psychos, they are sooo weak, they break real easy.
Did you read the title of the story? I wouldn’t bet on Epstein breaking easily, just like Raniere hasn’t broken, yet.

My husband’s work was at a famous Palm Beach establishment for many years and my family has been coming to the area since the 1920’s, too. Several times a month for a lot of years, I dropped off and sometimes picked up the girl who babysat our dog when we needed it. This was during the last half of the1990s. She lived on the adjacent street to El Brillo Way where Epstein has a house. Her home was on El Bravo. Yes Some rich parents do teach their kids to work. The 3 “El” streets are a beautiful, small neighborhood. But the point is, my young friend could easily have been caught in Epstein’s web. This was her home turf.
Her mom is still a friend 25 years later. Back when Epstein was first arrested, she told me that she had always told her daughter not to talk to him, ever. Plain and simple, El Brillo is the middle street in a neighborhood with families, not only billionaire pervs, a place where kids live and hang out, especially when the evenings get cooler. Like me, my babysitter’s mom knew intuitively that she couldn’t trust anything about Epstein’s façade, and his streetside creepy “art” was as if he stuck out his very own warning sign.
Observing how long the Epstein criminal enterprises have been ongoing. He was successful for decades. He bought that El Brillo place in 1990. Looking at Epstein’s old partners, how much did Steven Hoffenberg know about Epstein, the guy whom he mentored? Hoffenberg has had a lot to say about it. That is an book in itself! If what he has kept saying is true, he knows how Jeffrey made his money, right from the start, robbing the poor, the ones in the middle and the rich. He did not discriminate, except if you count that Epstein roped in people like Les Wexner by helping them to recover some losses, but then one hears that Epstein helped Wexner in other ways, too. Younger, merrier ways, one might say.
The FDLE are now conducting an investigation.

There are so many different disturbing aspects of the Epstein case that it’s hard to know where to begin.
One of the first disturbing fact is that many people believe that Epstein was working for a foreign intelligence service and was collecting information to blackmail American public officials.
American officials vulnerable to blackmail over illicit sexual affairs represent a threat to National Security.
Epstein’s friend former President Bill Clinton carried on a notorious affair with intern Monica Lewinsky.
What most people don’t know is that there were reports that Clinton’s phone sex with Lewinsky was monitored by the Russians.
Russians knew about Lewinsky before public
Former Russian President Boris Yeltsin knew about President Clinton’s affair with Monica Lewinsky as early as 1996, according to former U.S. intelligence officials who said that they believe that the Russians obtained the knowledge by compromising secure White House communications.

Does Bill Clinton’s loose regard for National Security explain why the Clintons would invite Ghislane Maxwell, Epstein’s alleged pimp, to be a guest of honor at Chelsea Clinton’s 2011 wedding?
“Here’s Ghislaine Maxwell, by many accounts Jeffrey Epstein’s “pimp” and “groomer of girls” at Chelsea Clinton’s wedding.”

Another view of Ghislane Maxwell, paramour of Jeffrey Epstein, as a guest at Chelsea Clinton’s wedding.

Here is a classified ad from 1992 soliciting a Yoga instructor for a private individual (Epstein), call Miss Maxwell.

Wasn’t NXIVM also big on Yoga instructors?
