NEW: by New York Times @nyt -- A child victim's abuse by an acclaimed writer leads to criminal probe & fuels debate over a culture in France that allowed (and even celebrated) men who have sex with children. nyti.ms/2FsPJYg #jeffreyepstein #perversionofjustice
@NYT This story explains a lot about how and why #jeffreyepstein was allowed to abuse children in France. It was so accepted, apparently, that one of his friends sent him two 12-year-old girls to have sex with as a birthday present!!
@NYT from the NYT: "The former host of France’s most famous literary television program struggled to explain why he and other guests...laughed...at Mr. Matzneff’s preferences for minors...a few [people]still came to his defense, including the former book editor of Le Monde."
