Yes, this is a common occurrence in many cultures throughout history. Fortunately, most cultures have evolved, including jews. Jews dont support marrying underage girls.Our Sages state1 that "it is forbidden for one to marry off his daughter until she is an adult and says 'this is the one I want to marry.'"What could i read that would pertain to Epstein raping underage girls?Well then maybe you should do some reading.I dont see what his religion has to do with it.This Jew will see less than five years in jail. Plus keep his wealth.
Bet.
Stop thinking like an egalitarian.
Judaism is NOT just a religion.
It is forbidden for one to marry off his daughter until she is an adult and says 'this is the one I want to marry'!In ancient (and not so ancient) times however, marriage was often-times celebrated at a rather young age. Although we do not follow this dictum, technically speaking, a girl may be betrothed the moment she is born, and married at the age of three.2 A boy may betroth and marry at the age of thirteen.3

If they can be married at three...well...i will leave you to it.
I have quotes all day apologist.
"Rav Yosef says: Come and hear a resolution from a mishna (Nidda 44b): A girl who is three years and one day old whose father arranged her betrothal is betrothed with intercourse, as the legal status of intercourse with her is that of full-fledged intercourse. And in a case where the childless husband of a girl who is three years and one day old dies, if his brother, the yavam, engages in intercourse with her, he acquires her as his wife; and if she is married, a man other than her husband is liable for engaging in intercourse with her due tothe prohibition of intercourse with a married woman."
Sanhedrin 55b:4
