I am not sure about that.
Sex may have played a factor in this. I use the word "may", as I don't know for certain, but I don't buy into the "just to make connections". The superrich don't really need to "make connections" on an island where underage girls party.
> on an island where underage girls party
on an island where they traffic underage girls and rape them.
Thank you for making that clarification. It seems like the parent was trying to normalize the "underage" and "party" part.
> an island where underage girls party.
What an absolutely gross mischaracterization of what happens there.
