"I've been waiting for this day, and we've prepared options A through Z in our mind. And really the only thing I can equate it to is like giving birth because you just never know. The go-bag is packed and it's like, is it time? Is it time? And it feels like it is time, but we don't know what we'll see, Bensky said."
"I just read Todd Blanche's statement saying that we're going to see more in the coming weeks, and that makes me really nervous, because we were really prepared. We had hoped that we would see everything today, and we didn't think that that was realistic I was not the most hopeful that we would get everything. But there was a piece of me that wanted that part to be wrong, and the fact that we still haven't seen anything feels a little nerve wracking."
Danielle Bensky was 17 when recruited by Jeffrey Epstein in 2004. The prolonged waiting for release of sensitive case files creates anticipation, tension, and acute anxiety for survivors. Federal law required release of all files by midnight, but Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche acknowledged the administration will miss the deadline. Survivors prepared extensively and hoped to see everything immediately, intensifying distress when the files were not released. Many survivors plan to examine the files to locate their specific information. The process is retraumatizing, yet survivors view disclosure as important to prevent future abuse.
