ok.. I just sent an additional email which moderates this.. everyone was a victim, including Jeffrey here.. 
and there was no happy resolution.. please add.. "probably everyone was a victim, with no happy 
resolution or consequences of these activities", after "was the victim in this case.".

Okay, thanks for this statement . . . I'll print it in full along with the article, probably today. I very, very 
strongly disagree with your position and hope you eventually reconsider, but I do appreciate you taking 
the time to respond.

jeffrey apparently paid for massages with sex... I believe him when he told me he had no idea the girls 
were underage, and I doubt that people normally are asked for or present a driver's license under such 
circumstances... Moreover, I also believe that Jeffrey is an easy target for those who want to take 
advantage of him... Moreover, I can say with great honesty that Jeffrey's time in prison led him to 
seriously examine his life in very positive ways and I don't believe in blanket condemnations of people. 
He served time for something that was determined was inappropriate. I honestly don't know who was 
the victim in this case. I fully expect that these masseuses knew what they were doing, and were not 
swayed to do anything with Jeffrey that they were not already doing. That is not to approve of the 
whole behavior, but lots of peoplel know and like have behavior I don't entirely approve of.. I know it 
is not politically correct to say that, because in general this is a very sensitive issue and all other things

being equal one should take the side of the young women. But all things are not equal in this case, 
from my point of view. It is a judgement call, and I will not turn my back on a good friend so easily.

Thanks for getting back to me. I was asking because I found the quote shocking ... the evidence 
against Epstein is overwhelming and he's even pled guilty to paying for sex with a minor. It's in no 
way scientific or rational to assume that because you never saw him with an underage girl he must 
actually be innocent. It is possible for a person to be kind and generous with his friends but still a 
criminal paying for sex with underage girls in his private life. 
I'm going to write about the topic on Skepchick, and I'll include any additional statement you'd like if 
you want to provide more context or if you've changed your mind.

yes it is.. Based on my direct experience with Jeffrey, which is all I can base my assessment on, he 
is a thoughtful, kind, considerate man who is generous to his friends, and all of the women I have 
known who have been associated with Jeffrey speak glowingly in the same words.. 
why are you asking?

Dear Professor Krauss, 
We met briefly after your talk in Ithaca a few months ago — I'm the girl on The Skeptics' Guide to 
the Universe podcast. I've really enjoyed your talks and books, but I was surprised to see you 
quoted in the Daily Beast recently defending Jeffrey Epstein: 
allen-jeffrey-epsteins-society-friends-close-ranks/2/ 
Can you confirm if the following quote is accurate? 
"If anything, the unfortunate period he suffered has caused him to really think about what he 
wants to do with his money and his time, and support knowledge," says Krauss. "Jeffrey has 
surrounded himself with beautiful women and young women but they're not as young as the ones 
that were claimed. As a scientist I always judge things on empirical evidence and he always has 
women ages 19 to 23 around him, but I've never seen anything else, so as a scientist, my 
presumption is that whatever the problems were I would believe him over other people." Though 
colleagues have criticized him over his relationship with Epstein, Krauss insists, "I don't feel 
tarnished in any way by my relationship with Jeffrey; I feel raised by it." 
Thanks, 
Rebecca Watson
