These people don't give a shit about age of consent, and can act with impunity as long as their targets are vulnerable or poor. I was abused as a kid and my abuser said "as long as you don't die or go missing nobody will care" and that's basically true.
Most sex tourism happens in the global south, particularly in Asia, because that's where more poor people are.
I mean, thats what abuse is all about. Its everyone that's prone to it; they abused just about everyone adult women, teens and children. It also checks out that all of the individuals that where either adults or teenagers where poor.
They have basically enabled involuntary non-consentual prostitution, and no one is batting an eye. We really live in a world where the elite can be excused of their heinous crimes.

Epstein famously flew them to his Island on his Lolita express. There was no law enforcement there as it was all private. That's one way to flaunt international laws.
Flout. Flaunting means displaying proudly.
That it is illegal and morally repugnant is the point per se. It's what they can get away with and brag about to their rich buddies and face no consequences as opposed to poor folks.
I don't really think that's completely correct tbh. For some people it will for sure be that way, but there are lots of people who are very aroused by kids specifically, not just the thrill of getting away with a crime
The subset of people who act on those abhorrent drives because of powerplay facilitated by wealth (or other power imbalances) is larger than those that act on it because their inherrent need but lack the means: the former contains people who would otherwise never considered such transgressions. If I'm not making much sense perhaps I can try to formulate it like this: the minimum age someone considers acceptable decreases with each million they accumulate, starting with some base age. That base age might or might not be already below what is socially or legally accepted.
Power corrupts. Becoming extremely wealth is becoming mentally ill (or the other way around) and it's time people see it like that instead of a fucking virtue.
That's a pretty bold claim - what's your basis for saying that?
I think I broadly understand your point and generally agree with you, just trying to understand your position
