7. I'm afraid that might be all we get from foreign investigations

Basically heading off any deeper look into complicity by their leaders, political and economical. At the same time, I’m also hopeful that these investigations into political corruption lead to evidence that will lead to a clearer picture of the nature and scope of Epstein and friends’ illegal activities. This is not just an opportunity for justice for those trafficked and abused but for the world to take a harder look at human trafficking as an issue. It would be a bonus if ultimately this lays bare more networks involved in this stuff. Like with #metoo and BLM, I think it’s important that justice gets served and stories get told, but perhaps more important that we cultivate a system that is less tolerant of those behaviors and those that cover up or excuse them.
