RFK Jr. reportedly was a guest of Epstein as well as engaging in babysitter rape, as have been too many members of Congress (and, oops, the Supreme Court and the Executive Branch) and Trump. Sexual assault should end a candidate's run before it's even begun. But obviously the US Congress has no problem with that. Beyond morality, I would think it would be a matter of national security, given how vulnerable it makes a candidate to blackmail. A lot of Western women experience one form of rape or another--supposedly 25% but I suspect it's closer to 50-75%. Most don't even report it because it's a waste of time and effort. They know most rapists do not face any consequences at all.
