why this challenge?

this is an odd challenge

the EPSTEIN CASE is so important for the obvious reasons

further investigation can lead to the end of abuse and trafficking

i hope every sex offender, human trafficker and those protecting them are all brought to justice and suffer for it

asking everyone to put themselves in the room of the arrest

well, i just can't

the only writing i would ever do about the case is to advance the pursuit of those causing so much harm

instead, imagine seeing him with young looking girls

and ask yourself

would you have done or said anything to help, especially if you were aware of him or caught a mere glimpse of his crimes?

now, would you do something if you saw a similar situation or worse of anyone?

i think about those questions all the time

and have accepted the need to protect everyone i can

with that said, i hope the confidence i have and am evolving will be enough to do what's necessary to help someone in need

and please, any help will be greatly appreciated
