Event Description

Lawrence Krauss provides detailed justification for his defense of Jeffrey Epstein, stating that Epstein 'apparently paid for massages with sex' but that Krauss believes Epstein 'had no idea the girls were underage.' Krauss argues that masseuses 'knew what they were doing' and suggests that Epstein was an 'easy target.' He also states that Epstein's time in prison was positive and refuses to offer 'blanket condemnations of people,' concluding that he will not abandon his friendship with Epstein.
