"Dani Benski was the first speaker in a 24-hour broadcast. Epstein survivors, advocates, and more are set to read excerpts from the widely publicized Epstein files — the massive trove of 3 million released documents documenting Epstein and those with whom he associated. Taking place inside the Donald J. Trump and Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Reading Room, located at 101 Reade St., Benski kicked off the reading surrounded by hundreds of volumes of the files."
"“I actually did come look at my own files, and it's a lot, and it's really heavy, but I think that it's so important,” Benski told amNewYork following her reading. “It always comes back to my own child and my students. I'm a dance teacher, I was a choreographer for years, I still am, and I usually teach that age range of like 15 to 19-year-old students, and I just remember being that age and experiencing all the horrors that happened, and so we have to keep the fight alive to make it safer for them.”"
"Exhibit attendees cupped their mouths and appeared to hold back tears as they examined a timeline of Epstein's depraved actions while listening to transcripts of the sex offender demanding his victims receive a gynecological exam. Mary Corcoran, co-founder and executive director of the Save America Movement, not only helped put the reading together, but she was also among those who struggled to hear the words said aloud."
Epstein survivors, advocates, and others participated in a 24-hour live-streamed reading of excerpts from the Epstein files, a collection of about 3 million released documents. Dani Benski, a survivor, opened the broadcast by reading from her own files inside the Donald J. Trump and Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Reading Room at 101 Reade St. Attendees examined volumes and a timeline of Epstein’s actions while listening to transcripts that included demands for victims to undergo gynecological exams. Mary Corcoran helped organize the reading and struggled to hear the words aloud. The readings connected the material to protecting children and students and maintaining pressure for safety.
