In 14th century Europe, you had to be BORN an aristocrat in order to acquire the “privilege” of sexually abusing young women with impunity, even (and especially) on their wedding night. 
In 21st century America, however, similar status—along with an accompanying dispensation to “grab pussy”—is tacitly accorded to anyone who was a “Friend of Jeffrey” and/or frequented his various establishments. Absolutely no need for actual noble lineage, nor, certainly, for any kind of ethical nobility. The only prerequisites were/are lucre and lechery in abundance, plus a come-and-get-it invitation to Epstein’s island.
I suspect that, beneath the redactions, the hardcore of America’s aristocracy is neatly listed in the Epstein Files. This definitely gives new meaning to the expression “noblesse oblige.” And validation to that very sad line in “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof”: NOBODY’S GOOD!
