Sex Trafficking Prosecutions Won’t Stop the Next Epstein. Here’s What Will.

What can be done to stop another Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and their network of people who participated in the abuse of more than 1,000 girls and young women?

The latest tranche of the Epstein files contains more than three million documents - the largest release of its kind. In what appears to be a clumsy attempt at a cover-up by the US Department of Justice, the sloppily redacted names of high-profile perpetrators have failed to conceal the intricate web of global elites spanning politics, royalty, Hollywood and tech.
