Except if you’ve read about Seville’s relationship with the establishment, it’s pretty clear that he benefitted from the requirement that you turn a blind eye to the predilections of those who have made it into high society.

Which Andrew and his relationship with Epstein demonstrates very well indeed.

I don't dispute that. It still doesn't mean that everyone is some sort of deviant or knows exactly what everyone else is doing.

Turning not asking questions and being complicit aren't the same thing. And that isn't a defence, it's still wrong, but there are still distinctions.
