if I recall correctly Epstein famously had a female accomplice

On 28 June 2022, Maxwell was sentenced to 20 years in prison

slap on the wrist

I don't know if I'd call 20 years a slap on the wrist, it is a significant chunk of time, but it is no where near enough for the shit they did. When I went to Wikipedia to double check my info and saw that was the sentence I was appalled that was all she got. They do all deserve a life sentence for what they did.

You're correct. My use of the phrase wasn't really appropriate.
