"This is about ending secrecy wherever abuse of power takes root, said Anouska De Georgiou, a model who has spoken publicly about her experiences as a teenager being groomed and raped by Epstein. She called upon Congress not only to pass the Epstein Files Transparency Act but to commit to helping survivors of sexual violence through legal aid and other forms of support. To be clear, the only motive for opposing this bill would be to conceal wrongdoing, de Georgiou told the lawmakers."
"Survivors who endured abuse at the hands of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein gathered on the steps of the United States Capitol in Washington, DC, to demand greater transparency from the federal government. Their appearance came as a bipartisan group of legislators pushed to pass the Epstein Files Transparency Act, a bill that would force Attorney General Pam Bondi to publish all unclassified information about the Epstein case."
Survivors of Jeffrey Epstein gathered at the United States Capitol to demand federal transparency and support. A bipartisan group of legislators advocated the Epstein Files Transparency Act to require Attorney General Pam Bondi to publish all unclassified information about the case. Several survivors spoke publicly about grooming and rape, urged passage of the bill, and called for legal aid and other assistance for sexual violence survivors. Organizers framed the effort as an attempt to end secrecy that shields predators. Epstein died by suicide in 2019 amid lingering questions about his powerful network.
