3. And she could have been in the Witness Protection Program

But really, She, Epstein (and very likely Trump) were the main perpetrators, so prosecutors wouldn't necessarily be interested in going after others, unless that was just for extortion.

To be clear, I doubt that Trump was centrally engaged in recruiting individual girls and grooming them for prostitution. But this was not a sex trafficking crime. It was a kompromat crime and a money laundering crime, that used prostitution as bait. You don't get hundreds of millions of dollars in bank transfers for a prostitution operation. Maybe 1 million, even 2 million if you are really busy. Not hundreds of millions. But you CAN get lots of money if you have spicy kompromat that can be used against world leaders to cause them to change policies when faced with extortion.

We know that the KGB was actively grooming Trump, beginning about 5 years before the Epstein enterprise really got going. Trump's main role could well have been to help Epstein entrap potentially important people. Trump has been blackmailing people his whole life. This was a natural for him.
