Sooo regarding the FDNY ambulances on scene: There are actually two types of vehicles in the firehouse: the fire TRUCK (ladder) and the fire ENGINE (hose). They both have different jobs. An engine will report to all EMS calls. Sometimes a ladder will be dispatched as well, but it depends on what type of call comes in. So in short, no it was not uncommon at all to see FDNY at the scene. Here, firemen are "first responders" and they are sometimes first on the scene at all kinds of incidents where first aid is required. I have done a lot of training at the MFB in the past as I was the chief fire warden at my office. The guys from the fire brigade who run the training told us that all metropolitan fire brigades are only 4 minutes under lights and sirens from anywhere in the city and suburbs, whereas there are not as many ambulance depots so the response times can be longer. That's why the fire brigade is sometimes called out to medical emergencies. One of the fireys said that he has been called out to several cases of SIDS, which is the worst thing he's had to deal with. That's terrible. My husband has gone on many sad/tragic calls as well; some fire-related, some strictly EMS. He worked for 10 years in the Engine and has been in the Truck for the past 6.... He is also known as a First Responder to the City of New York.

They’re typically our first responders to medical emergencies and car accidents. And they were the first on scene when we almost lost my baby brother to SIDS as well. Fortunately, the lady that ran the daycare was an Rn, checked on him every 15 minutes like clockwork, and was able to revive him before the ambulance got there. I imagine most of the time by the time the phone call has been made it is too late and can’t even imagine being in their shoes. How awful for all involved.

I Was Raped by Jeffrey Epstein When I Was 15By Jennifer Araoz Now I’m suing his estate and accomplices. Aug. 14, 2019 The first time I stepped into Jeffrey Epstein’s mansion on the Upper East Side in the fall of 2001, I noticed his security cameras. They were hard to miss. Inside the front door, he had small TVs playing the footage in real time. I was a child, just 14 at the time. But the message was clear: I was in the house of someone important and I was being watched. I can still remember watching myself on those screens as I walked into the house of the person I came to know as a predator, a pedophile, my rapist. I’m filing a civil action against Jeffrey Epstein’s estate and accomplices today, under New York’s Child Victims Act. A key provision of the law goes into effect today and allows survivors to revive claims if the statute of limitations had expired. Epstein was found dead, apparently by suicide, in his jail cell last week. I’m angry he won’t have to personally answer to me in the court of law. But my quest for justice is just getting started. During my freshman year, one of Epstein’s recruiters, a stranger, approached me on the sidewalk outside my high school. Epstein never operated alone. He had a ring of enablers and surrounded himself with influential people. I was attending a performing arts school on the Upper East Side, studying musical theater. I wanted to be an actress and a singer. The recruiter told me about a wealthy man she knew named Jeffrey Epstein. Meeting him would be beneficial, and he could introduce me to the right people for my career, she said. When I confided that I had recently lost my father and that my family was living on food stamps, she told me he was very caring and wanted to help us financially. The trap was set. The visits during the first month felt benign, at least at the time. On my second visit, Epstein also gave me a digital camera as a gift. The visits were about one to two hours long and we would spend the time talking. After each visit, he or his secretary would hand me $300 in cash, supposedly to help my family. But within about a month, he started asking me for massages and instructed me to take my top off. He said he would need to see my body if he was going to help me break into modeling. I felt uncomfortable and intimidated, but I did as he said. The assault escalated when, during these massages, he would flip over and sexually gratify himself and touch me inappropriately. For a little over a year, I went to Epstein’s home once or twice a week. The last day I went to his house was during the fall of my sophomore year. This time, when I was giving him the massage, he told me to take off my underwear and get on top of him. When I said no, he got more aggressive, held me tightly and raped me. After that day, I never went back. I also quit the performing arts school — the one I had auditioned for and had wanted so badly to attend. It was too close to his house, the scene of so many crimes. I was too scared I would see him or his recruiter. So I transferred to another school in Queens close to my home. Since I was no longer able to pursue my dream of performing arts I eventually lost interest and dropped out. It took me years to tell the people close to me what had happened. I was so intimidated by his insistence that I never speak a word of my visits to anyone. And like many survivors, I struggled with anxiety and shame for what I had experienced. The power structure was stacked against me. His money, influence and connections to important people made me want to hide and stay silent. Those same powerful forces let him hide and evade justice. That changes, starting now. I want my story to hold Epstein to account and also his recruiters, the workers on his payroll who knew what he was doing and the prominent people around him who helped conceal and perpetuate his sex-trafficking scheme. Their hideous actions victimized me and so many young girls like me. For years I felt crushed by the power imbalance between Epstein, with his enablers, and me. The Child Victims Act finally offers a counterweight. Moving forward, victims will now have until age 55 to bring a civil case. I hope more states pass similar laws so that more survivors who endured abuse, assault and rape as a child can know what wresting back their power feels like. Standing up to the entrenched network of power and wealth that surrounded Epstein is scary, but I am no longer afraid. Reliving these experiences is tough, but I’ve learned to be tougher. I used to feel alone, walking into his mansion with the cameras pointing at me, but now I have the power of the law on my side. I will be seen. I will be heard. I will demand justice. link

"He said this was something he’d become used to, even though it didn’t stop people from visiting him, coming to his dinner parties or asking him for money. (That was why, M r. Epstein told me without any trace of irony, he was considering becoming a minister so that his acquaintances would be confident that their conversations would be kept confidential.)" www.nytimes.com/2019/08/12/business/jeffrey-epstein-interview.htmlNow that's what I call milking the system.

As a matter of interest can someone living in another state that do have a statute, file a court case in a state that doesn't? Does either the victim or the perpetrator have to be living in the state that doesn't. If it's the perpetrator, what's stopping him/her fleeing to another state that does so therefore avoiding a court case?

It wouldn’t matter if both parties lived out of state. I’m sure someone can give you more detailed information.

Jeffrey Epstein Autopsy Results Show He Hanged Himself in SuicideThe official results of an autopsy showed that the financier Jeffrey Epstein killed himself in his Manhattan jail cell, the city’s medical examiner’s office said on Friday, determining that the cause of death was suicide by hanging. The determination came six days after Mr. Epstein, 66, was found dead in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan, where he was awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges. Guards on their morning rounds found Mr. Epstein at about 6:30 a.m. on Saturday, prison officials said. He appeared to have tied a bedsheet to the top of a set of bunk beds, then knelt toward the floor with enough force that he broke several bones in his neck, officials said. His suicide came after he appeared to have made another attempt to kill himself in late July, and days after prison staff had recommended he be removed from suicide watch and returned to the special wing in which he was being housed. Mr. Epstein’s death is the subject of four federal investigations, including by the Justice Department’s inspector general and the F.B.I. The attorney general, William P. Barr, said there were “serious irregularities” in how prison officials handled his supervision. On July 23, Mr. Epstein was found on the floor of his cell with bruises on his neck and was placed in the prison’s suicide prevention program, where he was under a 24-hour watch in a special cell. But six days later prison officials determined he was no longer a threat to himself and returned him to a cell in a special housing unit known as 9 South. He was supposed to have been housed with a cellmate, and to have been monitored every half-hour by the two guards who patrolled the wing. The night before he was found, however, he had been left alone after his cellmate was transferred, and the two employees assigned to guard him had not checked on him for about three hours before he was found. Officials said the employees, who have been placed on leave, were sleeping for some or all of that time.

"Days after disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein apparently hanged himself in jail, agents raided his private resort in the Virgin Islands. As of Wednesday evening, they haven't checked out his sprawling Zorro Ranch in New Mexico.According to multiple alleged victims, it played a key role in the convicted pedophile's alleged sexual abuse dating back to at least the mid-90's. Epstein accuser Virginia Roberts Giuffre has said she was trafficked to the ranch as an underage sex slave, sharing photos of herself on the property taken when she was about 17. An accuser, identified as "Priscilla Doe" claimed in a new lawsuit Tuesday that Epstein coerced her to engage in sex acts there between 2007 and 2010.

I STILL find it hard to believe that he died. If I were a victim of his, I'd want concrete proof and I don't think I'd trust most people surrounding this case. How do we know he's really dead? I'm not one to believe conspiracy theories, but nothing fits here. He seemed to be the narcissistic type who'd never take his own 'important' life. He'd continue believing that he had his bought-off lawyers and people in government to get him out of this mess. BUT the fact that Barr is insisting on overseeing every aspect of his death leads me to believe that there's something important he's hiding for his boss.

Wow. I may become a conspiracy nutter. This is all too convenient: days before he died, he transferred his assets to a trust, to shield them from claims by victims, and from any transparency from the outside. Now this about the broken cameras.

Sick. MIT Media lab, which I've looked up to and read papers from for 20 years.
The tentacles of disgusting engorged perverted billionaire money reach into every branch of society. They try to use it to bend the world to their sick views.

We Dug Up Jeffrey Epstein’s Old Science Blog. It’s as Weird as You Think. Why did the philanthropist and registered sex offender, who didn’t have a bachelor’s degree, seek to surround himself with biologists, mathematicians, and neuroscientists? A few clues can be found on a now-defunct website. www.chronicle.com/article/We-Dug-Up-Jeffrey-Epstein-s/247060

If it's the perpetrator, what's stopping him/her fleeing to another state that does so therefore avoiding a court case? There’s a lot of separate issues here. For crimes, charges would have to be filed where the crime was committed. The statute of limitations for where the crime took place would be the controlling SOL. It wouldn’t have anything to do with residency, doesn’t matter where the victim or perp lives. The only time an individual person could “file a court case” would be a civil lawsuit. Individuals don’t file criminal cases. Jurisdiction for civil cases depends on several factors and those factors may be different for each state. Civil actions often also have a statute of limitations. But civil actions would only be for monetary damages, not jail time.

Legally, communication between clergy (of whatever religion) and clients/parishioners/congregation members is confidential. Same as communication with one’s lawyer. The Catholic Church canon is something different.

If we lose interest in justice in the Epstein slime case, all those who participated in his alleged child abuse will be dancing a jig.
It's too easy to move on to the next story. But this is still enormously important in finding justice for his, and other powerful people's, victims.

"Prosecutors are preparing charges against two guards who were on duty the night financier and registered sex offender Jeffrey Epstein was found dead in his cell. The charges are expected to be filed as soon as Tuesday, two people familiar with the matter confirmed to NBC News. The guards are expected to be charged with falsifying records the night they were on duty but are not said to have any bearing on the determination that Epstein died by suicide. The guards were said to have falsified documents to indicate they were regularly checking on the inmate." www.nbcnews.com/news/all/prosecutors-preparing-charges-against-two-guards-epstein-death-sources-say-n1085371
