So yesterday I learned about Ava Cordero, a transgender woman who, in 2007, sued Jeffrey Epstein alleging he sexually abused her when she was 16. Her lawsuit was filed in 2007 while Epstein was negotiating a plea deal in Florida for abusing other girls, but her claims were mocked and dismissed

Pages of the NY Post from 2007 featuring Ava Cordero under the headlines "GENDER BENDER SHOCKER" and "S(HE) HAS A HISTORY"

  2. Enraging. Is it any wonder only the most brave trans people came out? And isn't it amazing that things got so much better? (Until they got so much worse)

  3. Someone should lie to trump and tell him if he accidentally did something illegal with a minor it doesn't count, and he'll confess and blame his actions on someone else.

  4. This is why … victims suffer from the violence and then the silence of their cries no one hears…

  5. Is this surprising? 1.3 women are raped every min. in the USA That's 1,871 a day. 683,000 a yr. Those are the 1s reported. Most don't report their rapes b/c Police refuse to believe them & don't see rape as a crime. The women throughout the world are disrespected & treated as Toys for men to use.

  7. For the Million Time: Why The Liar Racist RAPIST Pedophile Trump "hired" Minor age Girls to work in Mar-A-Lago & did nothing to stop Epstein to "stolen" from him or be Sexual abuse by Epstein, his friends & himself & that is OK to you? Ask that to the Media, Press, DOJ, MAGA, GOP, Yourself & Trump!

  8. Variation on a theme here. In this world there are many types of women you are allowed to hurt/kill/use. Trans women are just one of these kinds. At this moment, people arent even polite enough to pretend they shouldn't.

  9. it continues today but shit, 90s and 2000s transphobia was just rampantly disgusting with this kinda shit.

    I hope Ava has been finding/found the proper support she needs within the media shitshow and thereafter into now

  10. People try to act like the news and ecetera used to be better and like social media ruined everything. It wasn’t. We just didn’t know how bad it was back then, and the editors got paid a bit more.

  11. The ridicule of Ava is inexcusable. But the Grand Jury in 2007 was also horrible to the cis girls. Grand Jurors blamed the girls for “putting themselves in that situation”, for hiding their age (14-16). Asked if they’d changed since then. Accused them of prostitution (cuz he pd them for the abuse).😡

  12. May help shed clues on some of the 10 compromising Polaroid pics Epstein had of DT as insurance

    Seems Maghats are TOTALLY fine w/the thought of Dump having potentially had his way with his daughter

    But him potentially having shared the SICK proclivities of a convicted pedo w/the SAME children?

  13. Wait. Just read this, forget where. NY Post owner was featrued as one of the guest on Maxwell's dad's superyacht in the gossip pages.

  14. I frequently learn something I didn't know. This is a classic example of what I didn't want to learn, well, I wish it had never happened instead.

  15. And I bet this was mangolini pushing these stories. Because they weren’t just best friends they were business partners. And their business is children. Epstein didn’t steal employees. He stole profits in those girls. They were competing.

  17. Pity that the photo ain´t good enough to read the article. Could be an eye opener in terms of how papers distort things.
