Several women who survived abuse by Jeffrey Epstein have released a public service announcement video urging Congress to disclose all files related to the accused sex trafficker.
Danielle Bensky, one of the survivors, stated that the announcement is “a call to action,” representing not just Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell survivors but also numerous victims of sexual assault and domestic violence.
Details of the Public Service Announcement
The PSA, produced by World Without Exploitation, guides viewers to send automated letters of support to their congressional leaders. This release comes ahead of an upcoming House vote on the matter.
In the video, the women hold photos of themselves from the ages they first met Epstein, emphasizing the need to reveal hidden truths. One woman in the video declared, “It’s time to bring the secrets out of the shadows.”
Statements from Survivors
Annie Farmer, another survivor, highlighted the need for the release of documents, asserting that the matter transcends politics and has been obscured for too long. She noted that her sister, Maria Farmer, was the first individual to file a criminal complaint against Epstein in 1996.
Both Bensky and Farmer were part of a group that expressed gratitude to Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene for her support in pushing for the release of the Epstein files, marking a notable divergence from traditional party lines.
While acknowledging the release of Epstein-related documents, the women expressed concerns over the tone and content revealed in those emails, calling them indicative of broader systemic issues. The women stated that Epstein’s case has often sparked political controversy in Washington, despite their desire for it to remain a nonpartisan issue.
