Although his suffering was nothing compared to the lasting pain and anguish he dealt to young, vulnerable girls, the self-inflicted death penalty of serial child rapist Jeffrey Epstein is a positive outcome.

The myriad adolescents whom Epstein indelibly scarred will not now need to relive at a trial the horror they endured at his hands, and our justice system and taxpayers will not be burdened with having to potentially pour millions of dollars into providing for his security, care, food, housing and legal assistance.

We know that Epstein could not and did not operate in a vacuum. Let us hope that we learn the identity of all of his accomplices and to what extent their actions served to shield a rich, powerful and deviant man, perpetuating his ability to prey on the weak.

Good riddance.
