#HigherEd figures from #Duke, #Harvard , #UCLA & #Yale reveàled as chums amongst #EpsteinFiles in latest doc drop.

#DOJ released a new batch of 3 million pages from #JeffreyEpstein case, revealing correspondence with prominent figures at top tier schools even after his 2008 conviction with name-drops including figures from #Kinsey Institute having lunch with Epstein and a former Israeli PM.

Latest doc dump includes over a half dozen top #academics in trove, prompting some #Edu institutional embarrassment.

Amongst those shown to have years of sporadic contacts are a prominent #Connecticut school's computer science professor David Gelernter, who was infamously injured after being targeted by #Unabomber Ted Kacynski, but later in life crafted correspondence casually chatting with the convicted sex offender regarding female students on campus he had working for him.

A controversial Duke "behavioral economics" professor named David Ariely who wrote an advice column in #WSJ for a decade is mentioned 636x, although he had previously confirmed only two meetings with Epstein, despite documents that now show at least seven personal interactions.

Others newly named include some top Harvard donors and academics along with those previously mentioned such as former #SocialSciences dean Stephen M. Kosslyn, "Evolution Center" director Martin Nowak and #LarrySummers.

#Florida police first began investigating #Epstein in March 2005 after a 14-year-old girl reported being molested at his home not far from Mar-A-Lago. Eventuallly arrested after a probe in 2006, he pleaded guilty to lesser prostitution charges through a non-prosecution agreement arranged by future #Drumpf admin official Alex Acosta in June 2008. By mid 2019, under add'l media scrutiny, #Epstein himself was found dead in a detention cell in #Federal custody while awaiting trial on new sex #trafficking charges.

And #MinnieDriver as a sixth former! #Kinsey #BBC #PebbleMill
She only has one line but that’s #TamsinGreig all right! #Kinsey #BBC #PebbleMill
Binged all of #Kinsey. Final episode was a let-down. Seem to remember it was a let-down on the first run, too. Nice to watch Leigh Lawson and Serena Gordon, and Meera Syal and Minnie Driver were so young! Old Birmingham and the West Midlands were very interesting to see over three decades on. #BBC #PebbleMill #TV
I thought that was a good summary in the #IMDB for #Kinsey. It looks like I wrote it many, many years ago. #TV #BBC #PebbleMill
Really enjoying #Kinsey again. Havenʼt seen it since the early 1990s while at law school, apart from a few season 2 episodes I recorded on video cassette. Surprised that screenwriter Peter Gibbs was not an ex-solicitor as itʼs that good (unlike the Hollywood ones that are more for entertainment). #BBC #TV #PebbleMill
You know things are serious when you see these. #Kinsey #BBC #PebbleMill #TV @queenoliviastr
