With Epstein receiving scrutiny, so should purveyors of 'sex ed' that grooms children

With Epstein receiving scrutiny, so should purveyors of 'sex ed' that grooms children

The Department of Justice (DOJ) recently-released, declassified files which included communications between convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and two researchers from the Kinsey Institute at Indiana University.

The Kinsey Institute’s first director, Alfred Kinsey, deceived a nation by presenting the documented sexual abuse of children submitted by pedophiles – as well as the self-reported desires and experiences of sexual deviants and convicted sex offenders – as so-called ‘research’ which was then misleadingly applied to all individuals. 

Key Takeaways:

  • Officials at Indiana University's Kinsey Institute (founded on Alfred Kinsey's illegitimate "research" obtained from sex offenders and pedophiles) had interactions with Jeffrey Epstein.

  • The Institute's current executive director, Justin Garcia, attempted to solicit funding from Epstein in 2012 but claims he never received any.

  • The late Helen Fisher, a former senior research fellow at the Kinsey Institute, exchanged emails and knew each other well enough to dine together at Epstein's home.

  • The Kinsey Institute, despite Alfred Kinsey's and his associates' own checkered history and beliefs, continues to evade scrutiny even while Epstein's sex crimes come to light.

The Backstory:

In the 1950s, the Federal Bureau of Investigation investigated the Kinsey Institute, but that investigation fizzled out after a court ruling by the U.S. District Court in the Southern District of New York, which ruled in favor of allowing the Institute to obtain pornographic material imported from China and other countries that had been seized by U.S. Customs. 

According to FBI documents and other sources, Kinsey’s colleague, pedophilia and bestiality advocate Wardell Pomeroy, alluded to how easy it would be to destroy evidence at the Institute if the FBI investigations continued. That landmark case, U.S. vs. 31 Photographs, was eventually used to expand the allowance of pornographic materials to be used for ‘education purposes’ in K-12 schools. The Institute still holds this as a ‘victory’ today.

After the landmark case ruling, the Kinsey Institute was allowed to remain open. In 2023, the state of Indiana passed legislation intended to halt state taxpayer funds flowing to the Institute. The Institute continues to operate as a leader in sexuality ‘research’.

The Details:

Justin Garcia's email to Epstein 

In 2012, the Kinsey Institute’s current executive director Justin Garcia – who was, at the time, a postdoctoral fellow at the Institute – sent an email to Jeffrey Epstein attempting to solicit funds from the Jeffrey Epstein VI Foundation. Garcia wrote: 

“Thank you for connecting on Linkedln. I am familiar with some of your philanthropic works, and it's a real pleasure to be in touch. Based on what limited information I know, I think we share a lot of common interests — from evolutionary biology, to behavioral neuroscience, to efforts to battle HIV/AIDS… my work primarily considers the evolutionary and biological foundations of human love, intimacy, and sexual behavior – although I also do work on risk taking, and sexual health.” 

Also mentioned in Garcia’s email to Epstein is his service as a scientific advisor for the online dating site, Match.com. 

Indiana Public Media reported that Garcia issued a statement after the release of the files, condemning Epstein. Garcia claimed, “I only later learned of his criminal background, antithetical to all of my work” further claiming that he “never met or spoke with him,” and “did not receive any funding.” 

Helen Fisher Goes to Dinner

Garcia’s colleague and former senior research fellow for the Institute, Helen Fisher, is also mentioned in the Epstein files. Fisher, a darwinistic biological anthropologist, passed away in 2024, but served at the Institute for over a decade. Garcia and Fisher worked together on multiple “Singles in America” studies in collaboration with their work at Match.com. 

Emails revealed that Fisher and Epstein lived near each other and met together on several occasions.

In 2016, Fisher was invited to dinner at Epstein’s home in Manhattan with other attending guests, including the highly controversial Woody Allen and wife Soon-Yi Previn. After the dinner, which Fisher described as “[t]errific,” her email further stated, “[t]he conversations were fascinating.... I'm a bit embarrassed about holding forth on the evolution of the penis. But I had just been reading aloud that part of my book in the audio-book recording studio…. Everyone seemed to be ok with it.”

In another email exchange, Fisher and Epstein discussed upcoming lunch arrangements with Epstein’s longtime friend (and former Israeli Prime Minister) Ehud Barak and former White House counsel to President Barack Obama, Kathy Ruemmler, who resigned from Goldman Sachs after the emails were released. 

Fisher, who was also a professor and research associate with Rutgers University, was a staunch advocate for the anti-life agenda. In a ‘love letter’ commemorating her after her passing, one person wrote: 

“Helen, you were such a passionate, outspoken advocate for female reproductive rights. I bet if I asked you how people could honor you now and I suggested, "What about contributing to Planned Parenthood so that women and girls could have their reproductive rights protected?” You would look at me with your big, beautiful brown eyes and say, “ABSOLUTELY!” 

In 1996, Fisher co-authored the book “Choices: Nine Leaders of Planned Parenthood of New York City Tell Their Stories,” which was published by Planned Parenthood of New York City. 

The Bottom Line:

Live Action News reported on Epstein’s alleged use of abortions on his minor sex trafficking victims, theft of a newborn baby, and desire to create ‘designer babies.’ Like Kinsey, Epstein displayed extraordinary moral and sexual perversions and a disturbing willingness to use children for the sexual pleasures of adults.

While the Epstein case continues to make media headlines and his co-conspirator, Ghislaine Maxwell, currently serves a 20-year sentence, the Kinsey Institute, with its far reaching impacts on the minds and bodies of children both inside and outside of the womb, continues to evade scrutiny.
