was BEFORE you considered getting involved in the sex trafficking of minor girls!

Unseal this and let the consequences fall where they may.

it sounds like Dershowitz wants the filings to be unsealed. So it's not him.

Trump is likely.

Shouldn't we be asking what kind of clothes these girls were wearing? How can we possibly hold these poor men accountable when the girls were so cute and enticing.....
