Donald J. Trump thinks the brave women who survived abuse by notorious sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein are a “hoax.” Still, they’re telling the world that they are very real in a PSA video produced by World Without Exploitation. Ahead of Tuesday’s vote to release the Epstein Files, the video directs the public to a link to send automated letters of support to their congressional leaders.
The powerful video features the survivors of the horrific abuse holding photos of themselves at the ages they met Epstein, the wealthy late financier who is linked with influential individuals.
“There are about a thousand of us,” a woman says in the video. “It’s time to bring the secrets out of the shadows.”
AOL reports:
Epstein survivor Annie Farmer, whose sister Maria Farmer was the first woman to file a criminal complaint against Epstein in 1996, stressed the release of the files is not a political issue but one that has been buried too long.
“Please remember that these are crimes that were committed against real humans, real individuals. This is not a political issue. This, this has been going on for decades,” Annie Farmer said. “My sister Maria Farmer reported this under the Clinton’s administration, right? There have been mistakes that were made in this case under the Bush administration. So many things have happened over the decades that were law enforcement failures in this case.
