Even in this photo she is having a great time, I don't know her story but I imagine his good looks (reminds me of Richard Gere in a silver haired well off man kind of way) and his money would lure in his victims. Underneath that was a monster and it's super scary to think about.
I don't think they are saying otherwise. Epstein groomed these girls. It wasn't like he was snatching them off the street and raping them. He built relationships with them, gave them fun and exciting experiences. Then abused them. The fact that he was wealthy, decently attractive, and charismatic helped fuel all of that.
Totally my moms type at that time and era. And probably a lot of other moms types too. I hate to think about how many naive mothers blinded by his charms would uncritically trust him and be willing to provide him anything he asked for if it meant more access to him.
