Epstein Survivors: Release the Files!

By Jean Godden

On Wednesday, a group of women gathered on the steps of the national Capitol for a press conference. They identified themselves as survivors, victims of Jeffrey Epstein, the wealthy financier who victimized hundreds of teenage girls.

Brought to the Capitol by Congressmen Thomas Massie (R-Ken.) and Ro Khana (D-Cal.), the survivors, one after another, told how they’d been abused as teenagers. As a group, they called for the full release of the Epstein files, not merely the batch of previously identified records handed over to the House Oversight Committee.

Among those speaking at the Sept 3 press conference was Jena-Lisa Jones, who was only 14 when she was recruited to perform a massage. She said, “I had never been more scared in my life than that time when he hurt me.”

Haley Robson told of reaching 16 when she was coerced into bringing more young girls from her high school to the Epstein mansion. Marina Lacerta said, “I was 14 when I was told I could earn $300 to give an older guy a massage. I went from having a dream job to having my worst nightmare.” Chauntae Davies added, “Epstein bragged about his friendship with Trump, displaying a picture on his desk of the two of them.”
