Epstein's victims come forward to show they are no hoax
By Nia-Malika Henderson / Bloomberg Opinion
Survivors of sexual abuse at the hands of Jeffrey Epstein have a direct message for Congress; particularly for Republicans who spent years calling for more information about the sexual predator’s circle of well-connected friends, and who have somehow now lost interest.
Their message, both about their own abuse and a seeming cover-up? “You have a choice. Stand with the truth. Or with the lies that have protected predators for decades,” said Anouska de Georgiou, an Epstein survivor, at a two-hour news conference in Washington on Wednesday.
“President Trump, you have so much influence and power in this situation,” de Georgiou continued. “Please use that influence and power to help us. Because we need it now and this country needs it now.” She was one of several Epstein survivors calling on the Department of Justice to release all its files on Epstein. (On Tuesday, the House Oversight Committee released 33,000 pages of documents related to the Epstein case that the Department of Justice provided, the bulk of which had already been released.)
Epstein, a billionaire hedge fund manager, pleaded guilty in 2008 to state charges of abusing underage girls in Florida and was charged in July 2019 with sex trafficking of minors, some as young as 14. He committed suicide in jail a month after he was arrested. His connections with high-profile figures like Prince Andrew and Donald Trump have helped keep his name in the news; and conspiracy theories around him swirling.
