Indiana's congressional delegation MIA on Epstein files Howey

Brian Howey calls on Hoosiers to demand answers from Indiana's congressional delegation in this week's column.

INDIANAPOLIS — Courtney Wild was a 14-year-old Florida girl when a friend brought her to Jeffrey Epstein's Palm Beach estate to give an "old guy" a massage for $200. If she brought a friend, $300.

"I felt so dirty and ugly," Wild told ABC News after Epstein forced her to have sex. "I was embarrassed about what had just happened, and I was also trying to process the $200 I had in my hands. He had a type and his type was 14, 15, 16 years old. He wanted that innocence, and he wanted to break that person down."

Since the Watergate scandal in the 1970s, the persistent axiom has been that the cover-up is always worse than the crime.

That is not the case here. The crimes of Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell and their rich and powerful buddies were horrific and cruel; the current cover-up equally so.
