So you agree that the prostitutes were not "victims"?

I thought that had been obvious ever since this post of mine
that specifically referred to the Epstein case:

or even this earlier post discussing **** in general:
HTML https://trueleft.createaforum.com/issues/legal-decolonization/msg31293/#msg31293
This does not imply I believe the FBI is being honest, because I
hold the FBI to their standards, not mine. For example:

[quote]the recent FBI revelation that they found no evidence of
a "massive child sex trafficking operation"[/quote]
In Western law, "trafficking" of minors is defined as when their
parents/legal guardians do not consent, not when the minors
themselves do not consent. Therefore while Epstein's "underage"
prostitutes all seem to have been transported to the island and
other destinations voluntarily, it is also true that in many
cases their parents were unaware of where they were at the time
and did not give prior permission for the travel. Thus the FBI
which claims to uphold Western law is lying by their own
standards.
(By my standards, there was indeed no "trafficking", as I only
require consent from the travellers themselves. But the FBI did
not arrive at their position by agreeing with my standards.)
Next, while I agree that the prostitutes were not victims merely
for becoming prostitutes voluntarily, it is also obvious to me
that in various cases they subsequently became involved in
things they did not sign up for. The subset fitting this
condition were victims of violence initiated by Epstein and his
club members. I would like a full investigation into who those
members were, and retaliatory violence against those members
only.
With that said, even those members who initiated violence are no
worse than anyone who supports compulsory schooling.
Finally, I see no indication that the tweeter whom you reposted
shares my stance on the definition of trafficking. Instead I see
a tweet that appears to encourage uncritical acceptance of the
FBI statement.

Thanks for clarifying that.
