I mean at the very beginning, 90s, early 2000s, when he finally got into the crosshairs of the authorities.
SWAT storming his mansion an hour after the first victim shows up at the police station? Brought into custody, decades of jail following conviction? No. Depositions, inconvenient questions, police desperately going through his garbage etc.
Just imagine it were some low-life in his trailer, luring underage girls from the Bush, Cheney, Clinton, Bush, Gates family into his dirty trailer. Would the same happen?
Imagine how the local police would talk about it:
A: I don’t believe it - now this dirtbag lured Cheney’s granddaughter in!
B: Well, he got it coming now. That family has great lawyers.
A: Oh yes. The best. They gonna deposition him.
B: Gonna deposition him, absolutely. And if he doesn’t show up - bad look on him.
A: That’d look BAD. He wouldn’t dare.
B: By the way, I just heard back from the law firm that represents the Gates family.
A: He dragged his granddaughter into his trailer last year, didn’t he?
B: Yep. You wouldn’t believe it: This dirtbag sent his shady wannabe-PI methhead neighbour to sneak into the Gates’ garden and shine a flashlight into fucking Bill Gates granddaughter’s room and filmed her while she was sleeping!
A: Ha, he won’t have much luck with that! I bet they called the law firm right away?
B: They absolutely did, and action followed on the foot! A senior partner drove over there, picked her up and hid her in a hotel.
A: Fantastic, that wannabe-PI clearly bit off more than he could chew that time!
B: Oh yes.
