Unfortunately, our laws are failing them and, consequently, ignoring opportunities to prevent child abuse," writes Kaplan.In her article, Kaplan contends that while the sexual abuse of children remains illegal, recognising the act as a disorder instead of a crime could help people seek help before they act on their impulses.She uses other mental health conditions, including substance abuse disorders, as examples.

She insists that there are people who suffer from the "disorder" and have vowed to "never to touch a child and yet live in terror"."They must hide their disorder from everyone they know — or risk losing educational and job opportunities, and face the prospect of harassment and even violence. Many feel isolated; some contemplate suicide." However, she acknowledges that "There’s no question that the extension of civil rights protections to people with pedophilia must be weighed against the health and safety needs of others, especially kids.

Victims of the paedophile Jeffrey Epstein were among the hundreds of guests watching the US President Donald Trump's State of the Union address. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer invited at least a dozen of the Epstein survivors to attend the US Presdint's joint congressional address. This includes the family of Virginia Giuffre, who died by suicide in 2025. This is to draw attention to the disgraced sex-trafficker and his relation to Donald Trump. &nbsp;Representative Jamie Raskin of Maryland and Suhas Subramanyam of Virginia invited Sky and Amanda Roberts, the brother and sister-in-law of the late Virginia Roberts Giuffre. They were watching the speech from the gallery overlooking the floor. A seat in the chamber was left open for Giuffre, who died by suicide last year. Robert Garcia, a Democrat from California, invited Annie Farmer, who has testified in court about how she was abused by Jeffrey Epstein and his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell.Democratic lawmaker Ro Khanna, one of the authors of the Epstein Transparency Act, invited Haley Robson, an Epstein survivor who was trafficked to Epstein's guests while she was 16. “Haley’s courageous fight is proof that this isn’t about politics, it’s about exposing America’s two-tiered system of justice and bringing accountability to the Epstein class involved in the horrific abuse of young girls," said Ro Khanna.Also Read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/democrats-boycott-trump-sotu-2026-peoples-state-of-the-union-1772012685997">Democrats hold alternate events during Trump's State of Union address</a>Epstein survivors have been critical of the Trump administration's handling of the Epstein files.

Democratic lawmakers invited almost a dozen Epstein survivors and their families to Trump's State of the Union address as they try to keep the spotlight on Epstein files. 

Victims of the paedophile Jeffrey Epstein were among the hundreds of guests watching the US President Donald Trump's State of the Union address. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer invited at least a dozen of the Epstein survivors to attend the US Presdint's joint congressional address. This includes the family of Virginia Giuffre, who died by suicide in 2025. This is to draw attention to the disgraced sex-trafficker and his relation to Donald Trump. Representative Jamie Raskin of Maryland and Suhas Subramanyam of Virginia invited Sky and Amanda Roberts, the brother and sister-in-law of the late Virginia Roberts Giuffre. They were watching the speech from the gallery overlooking the floor. A seat in the chamber was left open for Giuffre, who died by suicide last year. Robert Garcia, a Democrat from California, invited Annie Farmer, who has testified in court about how she was abused by Jeffrey Epstein and his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell. Democratic lawmaker Ro Khanna, one of the authors of the Epstein Transparency Act, invited Haley Robson, an Epstein survivor who was trafficked to Epstein's guests while she was 16. “Haley’s courageous fight is proof that this isn’t about politics, it’s about exposing America’s two-tiered system of justice and bringing accountability to the Epstein class involved in the horrific abuse of young girls," said Ro Khanna. Also Read: Democrats hold alternate events during Trump's State of Union address Epstein survivors have been critical of the Trump administration's handling of the Epstein files. While some have accused the Department of Justice of deliberately withholding information and not doing enough to prosecute potential accomplices of Epstein. While some have also charged the Justice Department with violating their rights by failing to redact their names from the files. “Trump campaigned on releasing the files, but now, one year into his presidency, he calls them a hoax.

A photo from the Epstein Files shows Professor Stephen Hawking sitting on a pool chair with two bikini-clad women sitting next to him. They are holding cocktails, and the Cambridge theoretical physicist is apparently grinning in the image, as one of the women holds the drink for him. The photo is undated, and the location has also not been confirmed. Although it is possible that it was taken on Epstein's Little Saint James Island. The late paedophile hosted 21 internationally acclaimed scientists on his island in 2006, and Hawking was part of the entourage. Virginia Giuffre, the most vocal victim of Epstein who accused Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor of abusing her as a minor, claimed that Hawking "participated in an underage orgy". While she never publicly accused him of misconduct, this accusation was mentioned in an email Epstein sent to Ghislaine Maxwell. He told her to offer a reward to Giuffre's friends if they could help prove the allegations against Hawking were wrong, court documents made public two years ago show.

House Oversight Committee's ranking member, Rep. Robert Garcia, D-California, released a statement following the release of the report, stating that he had reviewed unredacted evidence logs.

UK police have questioned former protection officers linked to Prince Andrew as part of an ongoing investigation into security arrangements and related allegations. The development has drawn renewed scrutiny around past royal security protocols, with authorities examining procedural conduct and any potential lapses. Officials have not disclosed further details as inquiries continue under legal and investigative review.


Epstein Files Fallout: UK Mulls Law To Remove Andrew From Line of Succession

For the longest time, former Buckingham Palace cop Paul Page made several allegations in the wake of the sordid Jeffrey Epstein saga and the late paedophile-trafficker’s links with now-jailed ex-UK socialite Ghislaine Maxwell and now-arrested ex-UK royal Prince Andrew. In interviews with Lad Bible and other outlets since 2022, Page claimed that Maxwell came several times to meet Andrew at Buckingham Palace, often breezing through otherwise tight security in one of the most tightly secured buildings in the world. Maxwell’s access to Andrew, and the Palace, was such that her name was often kept off security records, as per Page’s claims. In his telling, officers even saw them having a private picnic on the Palace lawn. When he made the claims in various interviews since 2022, Page was not taken seriously. But with the arrest of Andrew — once Prince Andrew and now Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor — over alleged misuse of public office linked to Epstein files, the ex-cop’s words appear to have a grain of truth in them.

He said he did not personally know what was going on regarding any activities of Andrew on the so-called “paedo island” owned by Epstein.Page has focused far more on Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s associate and convicted sex trafficker.<h2>What did ex-cop Paul say about Ghislaine Maxwell and Andrew?</h2>Page said in the various interviews that there were frequent visits by Maxwell which were unlogged in security records, to meet Prince Andrew, starting around 2001. She entered or exited “at will”, he claimed, sometimes multiple times a day — up to four in one day, as per his colleague.She did this while bypassing standard logging protocols, which Page described as a “blatant breach” of security.&nbsp;Page said Maxwell basically had a “free pass”, and officers suspected intimacy or romantic involvement between her and Andrew.

Page, who served as a Buckingham Palace royal protection officer between around 1998 and 2004, appeared in interviews with 60 Minutes Australia, an ITV documentary titled Ghislaine, Prince Andrew and the Paedophile, and more recently on Lad Bible amid renewed scrutiny of the Epstein files following Andrew’s arrest. Page rarely made any direct comments on Epstein, having had no personal sightings of the late sex trafficker on Palace grounds during his tenure. He said he did not personally know what was going on regarding any activities of Andrew on the so-called “paedo island” owned by Epstein. Page has focused far more on Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s associate and convicted sex trafficker. What did ex-cop Paul say about Ghislaine Maxwell and Andrew? Page said in the various interviews that there were frequent visits by Maxwell which were unlogged in security records, to meet Prince Andrew, starting around 2001. She entered or exited “at will”, he claimed, sometimes multiple times a day — up to four in one day, as per his colleague. She did this while bypassing standard logging protocols, which Page described as a “blatant breach” of security. Page said Maxwell basically had a “free pass”, and officers suspected intimacy or romantic involvement between her and Andrew. He also witnessed scenarios such as Andrew and Maxwell having a private picnic on Palace grounds.

While many details are still hazy, suspicion remains that Andrew may have shared confidential UK trade or investment information with Epstein during his time as a trade envoy in 2010 or earlier. Page reiterated that Maxwell had exceptional access and that officers suspected an intimate or romantic relationship between her and Andrew. https://www.wionews.com/videos/uk-police-question-andrew-s-former-protection-officers-1771682394346/embed It was Maxwell who introduced Andrew to Epstein, according to widely reported accounts. Page's revelations found new life following Andrew’s 19 February arrest on suspicion of misconduct in public office tied to the Epstein files. Page had mentioned historical lapses in royal vetting that allowed Maxwell, convicted in 2022 for sex trafficking, unfettered access despite her father’s fraud scandal. Maxwell’s father was the infamous publisher Robert Maxwell, who defrauded his employees of their pension funds.

Ghislaine Maxwell breezed through Buckingham Palace security to meet the now-ex royal Andrew, according to a former UK cop. Her name was kept off records, he had alleged. There appears to be a grain of truth in these claims, in the wake of Andrew's arrest over Epstein files
