Regarding Leon Black, this is the headline The Intercept was referring to, where he violently raped an autistic 16 year old with "a rare form of Down syndrome that has left her 'developmentally… about 12 years old.'" This is one of three similar physically brutal sexual assaults the article references.

I mention this because Black's back in the news this week for the same Epstein-related shit: he had a date with the House Oversight Committee for September 3, 2026 to appear and produce his Epstein NDAs, and skipped out on both.

Having spent a lot of time in the files, I have formed the opinion that all of these people who continued friendships with Epstein post-conviction, or were themselves close friends of those who did, like Sinema to Black, are all just fucking amoral trash, not a lick of conscience among them.

The NC betrayal of affection law is entirely regressive. It's a "let's see you and them fight" divorce law in the same state that requires (or did at the time) you to be legally separated for a full year prior to divorce. Back when I was there in the 90s I had cheating friends caught up in it with great shock that it would ever be used against them -- I guess cheaters are the same everywhere -- but inasmuch as it has snagged Sinema and might be the sole form of redress for her actions that she ever faces, I can almost applaud it.
