21. Her explanation may be that she grew up all twisted due to daddy.

So Epstein's defence would be, if he needed it, mommy issues?

Personality problems can be used in a philosophical and psychological discussion of what motivates some, but in a court of law, they don't count for much.

I'm hoping her defence lawyers come up with something better.
And that gets thrown out just as quickly as any 'daddy issues' defence.

She is white, she is (supposedly) wealthy and well connected, so draw your own conclusion on how tough the legal system will be on her.
Possibly, US passport revoked if she has one, go away, never come to the US again?
