Survivors of Jeffrey Epstein's abuse are taking action by compiling a confidential list of his associates, advocating for the release of related investigation files.

Victims of Jeffrey Epstein, speaking outside the US Capitol, announce their efforts to compile a confidential list of Epstein's known associates involved in abuse. This initiative comes as they urge lawmakers to publicly release more investigation files, citing fear of repercussions for naming others on their own. In an emotional press conference, survivors detailed their harrowing experiences, emphasizing the need for justice and transparency in the case.

Victims of Jeffrey Epstein have shared emotional accounts of sexual abuse as they called for lawmakers to release more files about the convicted sex offender on the steps of the US Capitol.

One of the women, Lisa Phillips, said the group had begun compiling a confidential list of Epstein associates who they say were involved in abuse.

We will confidentially compile the names we all know were regularly in the Epstein world, she said. It will be done by survivors, and for survivors.

The event was organised by US lawmakers who are calling for more files from the Epstein investigation to be released publicly.

During the two-hour news conference on Wednesday, nine female Epstein accusers detailed their experiences and abuse at the hands of the disgraced financier.

Ms Phillips urged the US Department of Justice (DoJ) to release all the documents and information it has from the investigation, adding that many victims were afraid of repercussions if they went public with names themselves.

A lawyer for the accusers said that they were scared of being sued or attacked because nobody protected them the first time.

Marina Lacerda, speaking publicly for the first time, said she worked for Epstein from the age of 14 until she was 17, when the disgraced financier determined she was too old.

Liz Stein, who sued Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell, and who now works as a survivor mentor and policy adviser, emphasized the importance of humanizing survivors and challenging the political discourse surrounding this crime.

Annie Farmer’s remarks highlighted that despite reporting the abuse, the authorities did not investigate it properly, raising serious questions about accountability and justice.

Both Democrat and Republican lawmakers are involved in efforts to compel the release of further documents, indicating the case remains a contentious political topic.
