LebaneseDude 6,146 Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Via DailyLife A few weeks ago, a federal lawsuit was filed in the state of New York naming Donald Trump as one of two alleged rapists of a 13 year old girl. Despite the gravity of the allegations, the lawsuit seems to have been largely ignored by mainstream media, with the exception of a very comprehensive piece in the Huffington Post written by Lisa Bloom, an attorney and legal analyst for NBC News. A brief precis: 'Jane Doe', the plaintiff, alleges that in 1994 she was held as a sex slave in an apartment belonging to Jeffrey Epstein (the second defendant in the case). 'Jane Doe' alleges that on one occasion, Trump tied her to a bed, exposed himself and then "proceeded to forcibly rape" her. When she pleaded with him to stop, she says he struck her in the face and yelled that he would do what he wanted. 'Jane Doe' also alleges that Epstein vaginally and anally raped her following the assault by Trump, physically striking her in the head at one point while screaming at Trump that it was he, rather than Trump, who should have been the one to "take her virginity". For the record, Trump's lawyer has dismissed the allegations as "categorically untrue, completely fabricated and politically motivated." But as Bloom points out, there are compelling reasons for the mainstream media to at least consider them worthy of reporting. First, there's the fact that Jeffrey Epstein is a convicted pedophile and Level 3 registered sex offender with a preference for underage girls. There is also the matter of his ongoing, documented friendship with Trump - just prior to Epstein's conviction, Trump had this to say about the man he had known for 15 years: "Terrific guy. He's a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it, Jeffrey enjoys his social life." But more concerning even than that is the fact that 'Jane Doe' claims to have a witness. 'Tiffany Doe' (both women have, with the court's approval, exercised their right to anonymity for fear of retaliation given the high profile nature of the case) worked for a number of years for Epstein, and says part of her job was to lure underage girls to these aforementioned parties. In documents filed to the court, 'Tiffany Doe' says, "I personally witnessed four sexual encounters that the Plaintiff was forced to have with Mr. Trump during this period, including the fourth of these encounters where Mr. Trump forcibly raped her despite her pleas to stop." She says she continues to live in "mortal fear" of Trump. Untested though they may be, the allegations are damning. That by itself should be enough to have the mainstream media at least somewhat interested in reporting on them, never mind the fact they are being levelled against a person who may soon become the leader of the free world. Keeping in mind the fact that Trump, like anyone, is entitled to a presumption of innocence when facing criminal allegtions, the media still has an obligation to report on such matters. Why the silence? Is this just another form of the protection given to people with power, and powerful men in particular?

LebaneseDude 6,146 Posted July 5, 2016 Author Share Posted July 5, 2016 The media loves the $$$ a Clinton scandal brings so they've focused more on the frivolous e-mails. Meanwhile this guy is under a federal investigation for child rape and there's literally nothing He could be innocent or he could be guilty. Why isn't anyone talking about it?

Meanwhile this guy is under a federal investigation for child rape and there's literally nothing He could be innocent or he could be guilty. Why isn't anyone talking about it? I think there could be several reasons why no one is talking about it. 1. Safety. While both of the women in the lawsuit are protected under anonymity, what do you think would happen if this case made it big before completely valid proof appeared? One or both of women may be found out (due to this day and age, you have to be literally living under a rock, off the grid to be hidden) and probably assaulted and killed by Trump supporters. 2. Trump probably has far more hush money and power over media than Clinton. Also Clinton can take far more sh!t than Trump. There's no reason to go after Trump until the case is truly unsquashable. And when Hillary is still a nice juicy magnet for headlines. If there is significant proof, the case will come out. Hopefully before November.

I agree with the gist of your post but the media has never really cared about the safety of the people it reports on. Regarding your second point I'm not sure I agree regarding the hush money. Perhaps the RNC is employing it but definitely not Trump. You're right regarding the Clinton part though. She's just a juicy magnet. Trump has done and said things that would get a candidate disqualified several times over. This is truly a phenomenon. Edited just now by LebaneseDude.

Juvi 1,639 Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 well pedophiles don't report about other pedophiles, that's why nobodys reporting. But seriously, as a sad matter of facts, such things rearly get media coverage for no reason, such people have to be reported & publicly uncovered but "Hey, who cares?" if they got money!

venusfly 17,885 Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Right now it has the real possibility of a smear campaign. I do want to follow the lawsuit though so coverage of it would be transparent and helpful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's just a juicy magnet. I didn't really mean it like that. I mean the people (the accusers and the lawyers) are probably trying to keep it low profile for now. Though if I remember correctly there are some laws in place the relate to the media reporting on rape and its victims, though I'm not sure of them. Another point to take in is statute of limitations. Unless they've recently elongated it, hasn't it ran out out by now? If she was raped when she was 13 in 1994, then she is older the twenty now. I'm not sure if they can even proceed with the case.
