I take issue with your assertion that nobody seems to be disputing "the
facts". At present, it's an unproven accusation. One person who claims
to have been present at the time, does dispute it. Interesting that his
statement hasn't gotten any media attention.
On his Instapundit blog (at https://pjmedia.com/instapundit/339725/),
Glenn Reynolds, Professor of Law at University of Tennessee College of
Law reports that in response to the New York Times statement:
"In a deposition unsealed this month, a woman testified that, as a
teenager, she was told to have sex with Marvin Minsky, a pioneer in
artificial intelligence, on Mr. Epstein’s island in the Virgin Islands."
Astrophysicist Gregory Benford, Professor Emeritus at UC, Irvine, wrote:
"Note, never says what happened. If Marvin had done it, she would
say so. *I know; I was there. Minsky turned her down. Told me about
it.* She saw us talking and didn’t approach me." [Emphasis added.}
