Jeffery Epstein believed federal agents had knowledge of at least 20 girls between the ages of 16 and 18 that could implicate him in a potential federal sex trafficking investigation, emails obtained by the non-profit whistleblower organization Distributed Denial of Secrets and provided to Drop Site News show.
Might be. From the statute quoted Dershowitz would presumably have to fall under: "benefits, financially or by receiving anything of value, from participation". Which means the prosecution would have to show that he knew "force, fraud, or coercion" was being applied. The emails quoted don't show that (he's just getting hypotheticals from Epstein, who is claiming to run a legitimate business with no force, fraud or coercion being mentioned). So I suppose it depends on evidence yet to come to light of Dershowitz's state of knowledge.
Dershowitz is as much as trafficker as Epstein.
