That’s not why he was convicted as a famous rich white guy, that was just some lifelong friends standing by him. They didn’t deny his guilt, they just asked for leniency for their friend, which was rejected.
He was found guilty because the judge didn’t let it be about his celebrity, OR his membership in Scientology. He was treated like any other citizen accused of multiple rapes. That’s how it should be for every citizen.
He must not have had any dirt on anyone powerful. A lot of people who were going to Epstein’s Island or his parties weren’t necessarily pedophiles. They just wanted to be part of his circle enough to not not care about the rape. They wanted to be trusted by his circle and the method of binding those people together was sharing in crimes and have blackmail on each other. I’m guessing that Masterson never got into one of those circles, so no one powerful ever made any phone calls to the investigators or judge on his behalf.

But it isn’t, that’s the point.
