Epstein Had His Own Lodge at Interlochen's Prestigious Arts Camp for Kids

https://pbs.twimg.com/card_img/1149484783715512320/8EcOdeO5?format=jpg&name=600x3

Epstein was a big donor at Interlochen, where his cabin was located near the junior girls camp. The mother of a former student once accused him of trying to groom her 13-year-old.

........

According to records reviewed by The Daily Beast, Epstein not only funded the scholarship lodge, but hosted events for Interlochen alumni at his New York office and his seven-story townhouse—which was raided by the feds over the weekend. It’s also where Epstein is accused of forcibly raping a 15-year-old girl in 2002. Jennifer Araoz, now 32, came forward this week with claims that Epstein began sexually assaulting her there when she was 14.

Epstein likely preyed upon the kids at Interlochen, among the most talented in Michigan.

That suggests that Epstein was not a hedge fund manager, that there aren't any other Wall Street people who ever did deals with him. He was a blackmailer! He is trying to hide his financials. I'll track down the article and post it.

I read it somewhere. But now he is caught with his hand in the cookie jar? Always a tragic flaw.

She started camp there at age 9 and spent 8 weeks every summer until she was 16, when she was accepted to the Academy and lived in the boarding school student her sophomore, jr, & senior years. She loved it.

Some of those lodges are magnificent. I don't remember the Epstein lodge. My daughter graduated in 20001.

There's the pattern.

He preyed on aspiring, disadvantaged young girls.

Lock him away forever.

He should not be granted bail. He's done far too much harm and needs to be held to account while society gets protected.

Can you imagine all the Mommies & Daddies who struggled to find out why their little girl started to behave oddly and the poor girl too afraid to tell them. I have two daughters. They'd be scarred for life.

He wasn't convicted because he could blackmail too many others. Heck, he might be the guy with the original Trump Pee Pee tape.

Barr & Graham are behaving like they're being blackmailed too.
