Once again, an opportunity has presented itself, with the arrest of British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell, to punish those who willfully took advantage of minors. The US justice system cannot be allowed to fail a second time.

The story is so fantastic it is tempting to dismiss it out of hand as pulp fiction or conspiracy theory. It is alleged that members of the global elite – up to and including one member of royalty – occasionally took trips to a remote island in the middle of the Caribbean Sea not just for its idyllic surroundings and eternal blue sky, but for the purpose of having sex with underage girls.

With the reported assistance of Ghislaine Maxwell, who has been accused by the FBI of luring young girls to ‘Pedo Island’, where the late billionaire financier Jeffrey Epstein organized parties as part of an international sex-trafficking ring for the sole benefit of the rich and famous. The A-list of celebrities and public figures connected to the convicted pedophile includes the likes of former US President Bill Clinton, Victoria’s Secret founder Les Wexner, and even the famed physicist, Stephen Hawking. To what degree those people and others were aware of Epstein’s criminal activities remains largely a matter of speculation, although one of the alleged victims, Victoria Roberts, recently came forward to say she was forced to have sex with Prince Andrew when she was just 17 years old.
