Mass media news about Donald Trump's sexual misbehavior has so far overlooked charges that Trump abused a couple of under-aged girls, allegedly in collusion with Jeffrey Epsein who in 2008 pled guilty to a charge of soliciting prostitution from girls as young as 14 and served 13 months in prison.
We can not determine the truth of the charges against Trump at this time, but feel readers should know that they exist and are being discussed in the sub-mass media, most recently in a story from the Justice Integrity Project.

After one of the accusers dropped her case against Trump last fall, the Daily Mail reported it.
Before the case was dropped, Huffington Post reported on it, noting that "in a New York magazine profile of Epstein before he went to prison, and long before Trump ran for president, Trump acknowledged that he knows Epstein. “I’ve known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy,’’ Trump says in the story. “He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it. Jeffrey enjoys his social life.”
