Disturbing new allegations surfaced this week concerning a handful of rich and powerful men, each accused of abusing underage girls described in court filings as "sex slaves." According to some online activists, however, the recent news is only the scab atop a festering wound of criminal sexual activity.
The high-profile dossier revealed this week includes Britain's Prince Andrew and Harvard Law School professor Alan Dershowitz, among others. The accusations are tied to an established lawsuit brought by women who claim that they were sexually abused as minors by American investment banker Jeffrey Epstein, who in 2008 was convicted of soliciting sex from underage girls.
Stirring controversy, Prince Andrew is known to have visited Epstein following his release from prison. He is also seen in photographs with his arm around one of Epstein's victims, Virginia Roberts, only 17 at the time. Buckingham Palace initially declined repeated inquiries into the allegations. On Friday, a spokesperson for the royal household denied "any suggestion of impropriety with underage minors."
Dershowitz, who advised Epstein regarding the FBI investigation into his illicit sexual activities, denies ever having met his accuser. He told the Guardian on Thursday: "It is a totally fabricated charge in every possible way."
Cases such as those levied against Epstein are central to a growing response by online activists, who under the banner "Operation Death Eaters" seek to expose "pedosadistic" men of influence and the political powers activists claim help shield them from prosecution. (Yes, "Death Eaters" is a reference to monsters in Harry Potter.)
