How to wreck a life

You want to wreck a life?

First start with some one young, a child or a teenager.  Offer her a job, a trip, an opportunity to follow her dream.  Or his dream.

Then sexually abuse her or  him.  For details, see today's New York Times report, "The sisters who first tried to take down Jeffrey Epstein... An Early Effort to Unmask Epstein Falls on Deaf Ears."

Make sure that you bring powerful people in to your game--that way they will be compromised and will protect you if the victim reports the abuse or goes to court.

Threaten her with losing her dream if she reports anything to the police.  If necessary, threaten her life--as Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell did to Maria Farmer.

Tell her or him that no one will believe her if she tells.  It's true--the police probably won't do anything, especially if it's outside their jurisdiction and if it's not quite rape and it's the 1990s.

If she goes to the media, contact the journal's owner to make sure the report does not include sexual abuse.  Epstein & co. did this with Vanity Fair in 2003.

After your victim gives up her dream and flees New York City or whatever city you are using, make sure she never knows how many others you have attacked.  Don't let them communicate and form a #metoo movement or a joint lawsuit.

At this point you will have successfully wrecked her life.

And you will have wrecked your own too.

Epilogue:  In this case,  in 2019, Maria Farmer lives and is putting herself back together--after Epstein's grotesque death.  Thank you, Mike Baker and the NYTimes, for your reporting.
