To be fair, if I was a powerful or important person, and I found out this guy can get me anything, and didn't know he was a pedophile, I'd want to network too. (Also to be fair, his face would scare me away too).

What do you think the odds are that these Paleontologists are kiddie diddlers?

Agreed. And on the face of it, this paleontological organization is being unjust. Engaging in justice theater even.

If the communication was prior to Epstein's conviction I might be inclined to provide some leeway -- all else being equal. If the communication was after Epstein's conviction they should be very firm.

So "a communication" constitutes such strong evidence for conviction that we need neither judge nor jury? Interesting.

Judges and juries are for dolling out legal punishment, such as prison time. Private organizations run by ethcal adults can judge for themselves the very obvious connections and guilt or innocence of people they choose to hire or associate with (or not associate with).

No one is facing any consequence from judges and juries in the US.

Unfortunately that is true. This is why it is even MORE important for private individuals and organizations to do what they can with the limited nongovernmental power they have.
