Stallman correctly pointed out that Minsky declined the offer of sex
No he didn't, he said that Minsky, who had been flown to an island to have underage sex, had believed the super young woman in front of him who was trapped on the island, might have "presented herself as willing".
No, it wasn't.
The core was as simple as "if you are forced to do something, people have no way to know you were forced".
If I was Minsky, an intelligent man, I would have done the same he did: I would have declined the offer because, knowing too well Epstein, she was a prostitute.
And she, as Stallman argued, most probably "presented herself as willing".
Because it was her job (or so I would have thought in Minsky's boots).
Underage?
There's really no way to say, so it's just better to decline.
That's due diligence, given the situation.
I work and live in Milan, in the fashion district, I meet young models (both male and female) everyday on the way to work.
There is absolutely no way to guess their age.
It is even more difficult when you meet them dressed for the job (make up, luxury dresses, fresh haircut)
They look 16, but are 26 or vice versa.
I used to work in music business, rather large gigs, there were always young people in the backstage, there was always sex involved between them and artists, I never talked to girls that I didn't already know, it was too obvious that getting involved could backfire at any moment.
Minsky did what a reasonable man does: he said no thanks.
He wasn't a cop, he didn't have the obligation to check the girls documents to find out the truth, he just had to say no.
Did it stop people from blaming a dead man?
No, it didn't.
Why should it have stopped a long time friend such as Stallman to point it out?
