He's been a wrong un for far longer than this recent scandal.
Here's an article from Vanity Fair from 2011 outlining his many dodgy dealings (which interestingly includes this latest accusation, so I don't know why it's only just become a huge scandal now Epstein has died). He's been involved in many situations which if anyone else did them would be declared clear and obvious
(TM) bribes. Accepting expensive gifts for his daughters from convicted people smugglers, hosting lavish dinners for people who them mysteriously purchase his private residence for $5m more than the asking price, allowing his ex-wife to profit by selling business access to him. Those are all allegations not only against him personally, but things he is accused of doing in his role as Britain's trade ambassador. Not only do we never see any serious attempts to prosecute, we don't even see him losing his job over them (he did eventually lose it in 2011 when the number of scandals became too embarrassing). His wife, like so many rich, high profile people when caught doing something wrong, is allowed to merely pay back the ill-gotten money. Not only that, but she then had the cheek to sue the newspaper that did the sting for loss of earnings.
