On September 11, a young woman named Alison gets pulled
over by the police.* She’s carrying a small amount of marijuana.
The patrol officer handcuffs her and puts her in the back of his
vehicle. But Alison’s been in the back of a police car before, and
she’s cocky and canny enough to pivot the conversation away
from the dime bag she’s been busted with. She tells the officer a
remarkable story about an older man engaging in sexual activi-
ties with high school girls. Alison knows about it firsthand, she
says. She’s been going to the house on El Brillo Way since she
was sixteen.
At first the cop’s skeptical. He hasn’t heard about the investi-
gation into Jeffrey Epstein’s affairs. And, after all, Alison is a
burnout. But back at the station, he finds out that Alison has not
been bullshitting him.
The investigation is real.
Alison's name and cell phone number match up with messages
that have been pulled from Epstein’s tra

How much more would the police force need to make this
remarkably safe community feel even safer?
A tax write-off? Sure. But why not? Coming from most, it’s a
genuine gesture. One of appreciation for all they have and for all
the department's efforts to guard it. Donations are accepted gra-
ciously, gratefully. In 2004, the department had taken one from
Jeffrey Epstein—the second donation he’d made to the Palm
Beach PD —for ninety thousand dollars. Generous, even by the
generous standards of Palm Beach. The donation, which Epstein
delivered personally, was earmarked for a firearms training sim-
ulator. But that day Michael Reiter had thou ght something seemed

Many of the refugees are illiterate.
Most of them speak only Creole.

The cops always need a translator, and Noel’s been asked to

impatient.

When he hears what the story is, Noel accepts.

Noel had never forgotten the way those kids looked. The way
they'd turned into old men and old women. They were like zom-

been given a chance to help other kids.
That’s what the police have told him, at least.

Noel St. Pierre: March 2005
oel St. Pierre* thinks of the kids he grew up with in
Haiti. His old neighborhood was pressed up against the
jungle border that Haiti shares with the Dominican
Republic, and some of the kids he knew would slip over. Those
kids would stay in the DR for a few days, sometimes weeks. Some
of them never returned. But the ones who did come back wouldn't
say too much about it.
Most of them didn’t talk much at all.
By the time he was ten, Noel had learned the truth about
those kids. He’d learned that they'd ended up working as
prostitutes.
This was how Noel St. Pierre had learned about evil. There
really were devils out in the world. Flesh-and-blood devils, and
