The Real Monsters Of Palm Beach

The police in Palm Beach, Florida began investigating Jeffrey Epstein in 2005. In March of that year, a woman found her 14 year old stepdaughter in possession of several hundred dollars which the girl told her she had been given by Epstein. An intensive and extensive investigation identified dozens of girls who had been paid by him; many had been recruited by others.

Rather than being sexually abused in the conventional sense – a crime that always warrants serious prison time when the victims are minors – they had simply massaged Epstein, albeit in a state of undress.

This would result eventually in Epstein appearing in a Palm Beach courtroom on June 30, 2008 where he pleads guilty to “one count of solicitation of prostitution and one count of solicitation of prostitution with a minor”.

He is also required to register as a sex offender and given a prison sentence that many consider laughable; he is allowed out on work release six days a week, returning to the Palm Beach County Stockade to sleep.

It has been suggested that the police in Palm Beach were unhappy with this punishment which many of the more vocal critics of Epstein’s treatment consider to be a slap on the wrist. It could be though that by the time Epstein was sentenced for paying girls to massage him, many of whom returned again and again, it could be that these police officers had time to measure him by a different yardstick and considered his behaviour to be perverted and deserving of punishment but ultimately harmless.

The critics of Epstein’s token punishment include the moronic Tara Palmeri, a mainstream journalist turned YouTube vlogger who suffers from a severe case of Trump Derangement Syndrome. Palmeri is an uncritical believer in the claims of the late Virginia Giuffre, who along with Ghislaine Maxwell and other females procured underage girls for Epstein.

She argues that as the former Virginia Roberts was sixteen when she was recruited by Maxwell, she had no agency for her bad acts. Okay Tara, the youngest teen in the horror story you are about to read was only fourteen, let’s see you make the same argument here.

Dunbar Village in Florida is less than a five mile drive from Epstein’s Palm Beach home in El Brillo Way. It is a public housing unit in West Palm Beach that was built some 85 years ago specifically for working class blacks, but by 2007 it was home mainly to single mothers including a Haitian immigrant and her 12 year old son.

On June 18 that year, around 9pm, she was lured out of her home by someone who told her that her vehicle had two flat tyres. On the witness stand at the trial of her violators, speaking reasonably fluent English, she described what happened next. As she returned to her apartment, three of the perpetrators approached her, one was armed; they told her to get inside and do as they said or they would kill her.

They said initially they wanted money, which she would have given them, but she soon realised just how much trouble she was in. They forced her to lay on the floor while they searched the place, then one of them took her upstairs. All the time they were asking her for money; they took her jewellery, brutalised her son, then the man with the gun raped her. She was then forced to perform oral sex and anal sex. The violation of a woman in three orifices is the sort of depravity associated with a dedicated serial rapist, which begs the question, what would these juvenile animals have graduated to had they not been brought to book promptly?

But the depravity was far from over, next, the gun was inserted into her anus and more of them joined the affray, laughing as they did so. At some point they forced a bar of soap into her vagina, something she didn’t realise until she was examined at the hospital. She was also sexually violated with a nose trimmer.

The soap may have been an attempt to destroy DNA evidence. She was forced naked into her bath tub and her son was brought in at which point they forced her to suck his penis. Unsurprisingly, the boy objected, and was beaten for his troubles. Then they forced him to have sex with her. Afraid they would kill her and especially her son, she begged him to comply.

At one point they were talking about setting her on fire. This ordeal lasted over two hours.

She has suffered permanent physical damage both to her vagina and her eyes due to the chemicals they used on her. Best not mention any psychological damage.

It is unclear just how many of these animals were involved. According to a Fox News report of July 6, there were around ten of them eventually, but only four would be apprehended and stand trial. All four were teenagers and all four were tried as adults. The youngest was the 14 year old Avion Lawson who was said to have an IQ of 75; that being said, he did one smart thing by turning state’s evidence. He was rewarded with the most lenient sentence of the four: thirty years. He also had to register as a sex offender.

(Above: Avion Lawson was eighteen when he was interviewed by WPBF 25 News; he was fourteen when he and an unspecified number of other young thugs gang-raped their victim and forced her son to have sex with her).

The other defendants were Jakaris Taylor, Nathan Walker and Tommy Poindexter. They were all sentenced to life imprisonment in December 2009, but following a ruling by the Supreme Court that juveniles should not be sentenced to life for anything less than murder, Taylor and Walker had their sentences reduced to sixty years.

In 2019, the same judge who had presided over his trial gave Taylor another five years. She could have restored his life sentence but said to do so would result in more litigation, and she wanted to bring finality to the case for the sake of the victims.

Those arguing for some form of mercy for these animals come up with that old chestnut about their brains not being fully developed, which is true up to a point, but surely every 14 year old, every 10 year old knows it isn’t right to beat someone up, much less rape a woman or force her to have sex with her own son at gunpoint. What does Tara Palmeri think of this case? Did these teens have agency or what, and compared with them, just how grave were the crimes of Jeffrey Epstein?
