The Never Ending Saga of the Epstein Sex Scandal

A new photo of Epstein, Prince Andrew and Peter Mandelson is raising many questions:

Why are the Prince and Mandelson barefoot and wearing bathrobes? Was it taken right after massages by Epstein's girls?

There is a 4th cup at the table and an empty chair. Who was sitting there and drinking from the cup? Airbrushed out of the photo? Who?

Mandelson is gay. ​

Lord Peter Mandelson is gay and has been a prominent, openly gay British politician for decades, having been outed in the late 1980s/1990s. He has discussed his sexuality in relation to his career and personal life, and as of late 2023, he is married to Reinaldo Avila da Silva.

Are you suggesting that it was Epstein who massaged him and stroked his penis, or Prince Andrew? I am not sure if I read somewhere that Epstein was bisexual.

Most people probably think that just finding a name or photo in the "Epstein Files" means that the person in question must, like Epstein, have engaged in sex with underage girls (teens not children). In fact, there is no evidence that any of Epstein's many friends and acquaintances did so. Some probably did have sex with adult sugar babies and female prostitutes that Epstein recruited in the years after he got out of jail.

The fact that Mandelson is gay makes it extremely unlikely that he is one of the men who used Epstein as a source of referral for adult female providers. There is no evidence that Epstein is gay or bisexual. He was a prodigious networker who seemed to get a thrill from referring his friends and acquaintances to the women he knew who were willing to exchange sex for money or other benefits.

And Eager, isn't that exactly what you used to do (on a much smaller scale) when you brought your friends from home to Montreal and arranged small get-togethers/parties with escorts from an agency?

It's not "pimping" or "sex trafficking" since there is no exploitation of the women and the guy who refers friends to escorts takes no money from the escorts. You're just doing a favor for guys that maybe will be returned in one way or another. In the case of Mandelson and Andrew, there are vague charges of misconduct in office, specifically that they shared supposedly secret government info with Epstein that he could use in making investments. I doubt that Andrew and Mandelson will ever be convicted of any serious crime based on the info they may have shared. They will plead guilty to some minor offense and get a slap on the wrist. Neither one has ever been charged with a sex crime and they never will be. That's especially true for Mandelson because...he's gay! And married to a gay guy!
