Odd that none of the teens Epstein slept with would be illegal to sleep with in Germany. Pedophilia is starting to mean 'sex I find icky' in the US.

German Law is a bit more complicated than people give it credit for. While the police might not proactively go after cases involving some older minors, they will if the person files a complaint.

If a situation involves "exploitation" under the law, as most of Epstein's crimes would be considered to, then it is also automatically illegal.

Yes, rape is a bad thing that gets reported in other countries too.
