A child sex abuse survivor from Palm Beach County who testified at the Ghislaine Maxwell trial in 2021 said she had met Donald Trump with Jeffrey Epstein at Mar-a-Lago in the 1990s when she was 14 and was once a contestant in Trump's Miss Teen USA beauty pageant.

She was trafficked through Trump's pageant.

It's so obvious it's almost insulting, trafficing in plain sight and calling it a modeling contest. Now, think about what the organizers of the child pageants are up to.

If you wanted to rape minors, what would be the most efficient way to do it? Establish a pageant, let the parents bring the victims to you. Even more convenient, who puts their kid in such a pageant? People who are ok with that behavior, people willing to overlook abuse, even encourage their kid to play along.

That's legitimately how they did it. They found the girls from vulnerable families without much money, and offered the parents some cash and told them their daughter was accepted into an elite intern program where the girls stay in house, on the other side of the country or world from their family. Oh, and they'll be very busy with all the exciting opportunities, so they won't be calling home much, or at all.
