| > "the most plausible scenario is that she presented herself to him as entirely willing" You can't see the difference between "she presented herself to him as entirely willing" and "she was entirely willing"? Stallman may be a dick, but at least he's precise with his speech - this means exactly what it says, and in no way means what you want it to mean. |

| I fear you are the one who does not understand what that is saying. "The trafficked person did not reveal they were being trafficked, because they were trapped on an island with their abuser and were afraid". This is not blaming the victim, nor a defense of the abuser. |

| He's saying that Marvin Minsk might not have known that he was on pedo entrapment island and may have assumed a teenage girl was of age. Telling the entrapment targets the deal up front wouldn't be very smart. This is not blaming the girls, it was Epstein's setup. |

| ▲ | elif 7 hours ago | parent [-] | | "I thought she was not a child" is never a defense for raping a child. | | |
| ▲ | margalabargala 6 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | Legally, no, you are right. When third parties are discussing the crime, "the person who committed the crime may not have known they were committing a crime" is a valid, reasonable thing for a person to say as part of a discussion. Doing so is not a defense of the person who trafficked the child to be raped. | |
