An Evil Greater Than Jeffrey Epstein?  The evil of the grifter, con man, rapist, pedophile will be debated for generations to come. There is a level of evil that rises to an extraordinary height, something so morally vacant and predatory that we reach for metaphors like “the devil” to try to name it. Jeffrey Epstein embodied that kind of concentrated depravity. He was not a financier. He was a pimp. A trafficker. A con man whose currency was power, secrecy, and the ownership of other people’s shame. But the greater evil, now—as we speak—is not a dead con man who allegedly hanged himself in jail. The greater evil is alive, operational, normalized, and largely ignored: the global sexual trafficking of women, girls, and boys. This is not an abstraction. This is something we can actually do something about. And yet we don’t. Look at the obvious signs we have trained ourselves not to see. The massage parlors that have spread like a virulent cancer across cities and towns around the world. The red lights glowing in the night, advertising “open.” People tell themselves comforting lies: it’s harmless, consensual, a little fun, a happy ending, a transaction between adults. But the reality beneath those lights is coercion, debt bondage, fear, violence, and often children. Whatever libertine fantasy is sold to the buyer collapses under the truth of sexual exploitation. This level of exploitation is not marginal. It is industrial. It is transnational. Underage girls are moved across borders in Europe and trafficked for sex. Women and girls are bought and sold through Saudi Arabia, the Emirates, India, Russia, and far beyond. The numbers are not in the dozens or the thousands; they are estimated in the millions—women, girls, and sometimes boys—caught in systems of sexual slavery that operate in plain sight. Organizations around the world have documented this reality for years. The International Labour Organization estimates millions are trapped in forced sexual exploitation globally. Human rights groups consistently report that women and girls make up the overwhelming majority of victims. These figures are conservative, because this crime depends on invisibility. I cannot do anything about the depravity of Jeffrey Epstein himself—the gravity of depravity that defined his life is sealed. But I can name the degravity that continues. While the media engages in a feeding frenzy of pseudo-outrage, recycling the same lurid details, we ignore the far greater evil unfolding right now. What we are confronting is the institutionalized support for sexual slavery across the globe. It cuts across race, nationality, and religion. It is upheld by clients, protected by corruption, and normalized by silence.
