Newly released U.S. Justice Department documents related to convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein include an allegation that a 13-year-old girl was forced to perform a sexual act on Donald Trump more than three decades ago.

Among more than three million pages of files made public on Friday, one document claims the girl was coerced into performing oral sex on Trump 35 years ago. The record alleges she bit him during the act and was later struck in the face for laughing about it. The allegation appears in FBI materials that include unverified tips.

"shocking" is a strong word

[-] ChakraNorris@lemmy.world 31 points 3 weeks ago

Shocking in the sense of the things that happened, in how depraved the whole thing is.

Shocking as in, surprised? No, not in the least.

The only thing shocking about it is that he's not been drawn and quartered yet

"Unsurprising allegations" is more appropriate

I'm so shocked I've known about it for years

For being "shocking", it simply lacks the "unexpected" or "surprising" part.
