Stacey Williams says the ex-president, whose spokesperson denied the allegations, touched her in an unwanted sexual way in 1993, after Epstein introduced them.

    You’re a model in 1993. In order brush elbows with the elite, make connections and continue finding work you are given an invite by your modelling agency. You attend because this can only be good for your career.

    You get sexually harrassed.

    You didn’t ask for this. You’re trying to make a living. Titans of the industry see you as a bag of meat to toss around and abuse.

    “You were asking for it.”

      Yeah,

      A woman at a party hoping to bag a dying rich husband retains the right not to be groped/assaulted or raped.

      I actually wouldn’t be surprised if the modeling industry as a whole was proved to be a sex abuse conspiracy from the get go. Like create this image in the media of beautiful women becoming glamorous successful models that marry dying billionaires, tell them that they have to network at fancy parties where the industry moguls are, convince them to ingratiate themselves to the moguls however they can…

      You apparently can’t win if you’re a woman around such men. If you come forward when a powerful man sexually assaults you right away, you’re gold-digging and he uses his high-paid lawyers to shut you down.

      If you come forward when a powerful man sexually assaults you later when he can’t do that, why did you wait so long?!?!
