In reply to the discussion: If you heard your 17 yr old daughter's boss talk about her like this, what would you think? [View all]tulipsandroses
(8,301 posts)11. I don't think he was involved. But Virginia spoke of a " troubled life" at a very young age that caused her to run away
What happened that first day in 2000 that Giuffre (known as Virginia Roberts then) met Epstein after Ghislaine Maxwell spotted her reading a book about massage therapy at Mar-a-Lago?
Roberts has said she was either 15 or 16 when she sat outside the Mar-a-Lago locker room outdoors in the summer of 2000 as she looked at the first book she'd ever read about massage therapy.
Virginia Roberts was working to get her general equivalency diploma after having attended four high schools in Palm Beach County, including Royal Palm Beach, Wellington and Forest Hill, according to her school transcript included in court documents. And she'd just come back home after running away from foster care and being held by Miami sex predator Ron Eppinger until he was arrested.
Her father, Sky Roberts, who worked maintenance at the estate, has testified that he had helped her get a job there. He hoped for better things for his daughter. Sky Roberts testified that when his daughter brought it up, he said, "Well that's great, you know, because learning new jobs is all about life."
Roberts' father gave her a ride to El Brillo Way between 4 and 5 p.m. that day after she finished work. He said Epstein came out of the house to speak with him. "He was very cordial, very nice," Sky Roberts said. He was never invited into nor did he go into Epstein's home.

OP
He's a braggart and a psychopath so that makes sense to me too, malaise.

I would think the boss is a despicable sleazeball, which is what Trump has always been.

Does "sex addiction" sound like the excessive boasting they engaged in? The selling of underage children?

Women are regarded as property the world over. It's been like that for eons. ...

Agreed. But its especially weird to me that a grown ass man would be talking this way about teenagers.

Trump said "I'll be dating her in 10 years" about a very young girl in front of her dad

That's his dream. Not the girl, but being on a big stage making vulgar comments and people applauding him.

So in Trumpspeak, is "17 or 18" actually "16 or 17" but he thinks it sounds better if he gets "18" out there?

Michael Wolff said Epstein thought it was trump that ratted him out. Not sure how.
