Accusations by a woman who "credibly accused Donald Trump of having sex with a minor he met through Jeffrey Epstein," were reportedly removed from the files.
forced a woman to give him oral sex when she was in her early teens
Talk about failure as a journalist. I just can’t with these assholes. They’re almost as guilty as Trump in that their word choice helps every last one of those bastards get away with it.
If the GIRL was a TEEN, then she was a CHILD, not a woman. I don’t care about the potential for alternative interpretations here. The frame placed on the situation is done with one word: woman. Not teen. Not child. Not kid. Not girl. “Woman”. Which creates a sideways shift in perception.
Certin News people faced justice when the Nazis fell, a lot of people forget that it wasnt just the soldier of the regime that were tried and persecuted. Tho this person likely isn’t the subject, her editer def might get looked over
There’s a distinct difference between how some of these terms are used depending on context. There is biological status and then there is legal status.
So be careful where & when you take issue.
Here, legal terms are appropriate due to the subject matter, and you should definitely suggest to the authors that they adjust the terms used accordingly.
Just complaing to the ether may be cathartic, but inaction is also complicit.
However teen is a teen regardless of context, as it’s a designation of age group, not a legal or biological classification. So it’s up to the reader to determine relevance of the teens age beyond that.
Even in paper days journalism deliberately packed their first and second sentences of an article with the most punchy and relevant details because they knew, with every additional sentence, readers were lost.
The line is buried. And could be stated more succinctly with “13 year old girl”, punching in the relevant details.
Instead, extra words are added. It’s deliberate. And it’s journalism’s job not to do this because a large slice of readers will hit only the key words and move on.

Raped a teenager. That’s what he did. He raped a teenage girl .
He raped a 13 year old girl. There. I said what should be in the headlines.
“Underage woman” is a phrase used by pedophile supporters.
Early teens…. This is so disgusting

It’s funny people seem more upset by the word choice than the rape committed and human trafficking.
Is that what you think is happening here?
In case you missed it:

So, you are just an actual idiot. Noted.
I’ll take any iq test against you and you will fail miserably against me.
Wow. The dumbest reply imaginable…
Yeah, cause that’s not the exact thing an idiot would say.
She was a woman by the time she was able to report it, but it’s very poorly worded.
