Sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein paid doctors to drug up his sex slaves with anti-anxiety and anti-depressant meds, says a new report from the Miami Herald.

"There were doctors and psychiatrists and gynecologist visits. There were dentists who whitened our teeth. There was a doctor who gave me Xanax. What doctor in their right mind, who is supposed to protect their patients, gives girls and young women Xanax?"
That's what Virginia Giuffre has to say about her sex slave ordeal at 16 years old as she spoke to the Miami Herald with fellow victims Sarah Ransome and Marijke Chartouni. These are 3 of the 60 victims the Miami Herald has uncovered.
Another victim from South Africa was able to successfully sue Epstein, and doesn't believe that people surrounding Epstein didn't know what he was doing:
"I find it so funny with all these people, after Jeffrey was arrested, saying ‘we didn’t know — we didn’t see anything. Jeffrey was always surrounded by girls, always. And these weren’t normal girls. You could see it in our faces. ... We were damaged, we were medicated. How can you sit in front of a group of girls with Jeffrey and say ‘we just didn’t know it’? You had to know."
How did these unfortunate girls get roped into the sex trafficking ring? Many were poor and vulnerable, and easily influenced with promises to provide them with care and a place to live. Fort Lauderdale-based attorney Bradley Edwards explains:
"He would find out they have no home, no car, that they need a place to live, and he would provide a place to live. He can get you to the best doctors. Sometimes he would do that and sometimes he wouldn’t do that, but the promise was real because as soon as you walk into his house and see there are legitimate cooks, chefs, and assistants, everybody catering to him — it gives this air of legitimacy. I mean, everybody in this whole entire mansion can’t possibly be running an illegal sex trafficking operation, right?"
Imagine being young and naive. A "good" rich person just wants to help you out and have you live with them in their lap of luxury. That will easily impress and create feeling gratitude for them. Then the loyalty and attachment is made, and they start to do things for their benefactor that leads to dangerous slope.
