What in the French fried fuck, he gave a fucking shoutout to Epstein in the dedication of his textbook…?

    Not to be that guy, but Epstein wasn't always known to be the bad guy to the general public, and this professor might not have known about the not public stuff he was doing. I haven't read the article though, so maybe not.

    Edit: read the article, Harvard only put the guy on leave because everything became public with the release of the Epstein files. It seems to be that this professor was in on it, and Harvard had taken action against him before but lifted the sanctions because of reasons.

    The title image literally quotes him asking "did you torture her"

    Ah true, but still a good example to show that Nowak should have known that Epstein had a screw loose.

    It's a good example to show that Nowak was torturing women and girls

    Who are spies captured on missions?

    It's a good example to show the commenters on lemmy lack reading comprehension & grasp of hyperbole & banter.

    The book was published in October 2006.

    In May 2006, Palm Beach police filed a probable cause affidavit that Epstein should be charged with four counts of unlawful sex with minors and one count of sexual abuse.

    So, um...

    You'd think someone who was good buddies with Epstein would know about his legal troubles. If he were smart, he'd have been demanding his publisher let him change that dedication after he found out what Epstein was charged with.

    That’s your issue and not the email from Epstein asking if he “tortured her”?

    …how is that your takeaway from my comment?

    Of course that’s entirely heinous. I was just remarking on the fact that the guy fucking put Epstein in the dedication of his textbook on top of that. It’s just an extra layer of gratuitous, gleeful evil that just beggars belief.
