"In the statement, 18 named survivors and 10 Jane Does, said they are preparing to be blamed for abuse they endured and are already facing threats to their physical safety - which they expect will intensify as the deadline to release the files draws closer. The survivors stressed that they support full disclosure of the files and urged Congress and the public to fight alongside them."
""We ask every federal and state law enforcement agency that has jurisdiction over these threats to investigate them and protect us," they said. They also said they refuse to engage with attacks to minimize or discredit their abuse based on their age or the circumstances that led to their assault allegations. The survivors said in their statement that they all"were vulnerable because of life circumstances" and "were targeted.""
Eighteen named survivors and ten Jane Does report preparing to be blamed for abuse they endured and already face threats to their physical safety expected to intensify as the release deadline approaches. The survivors affirm support for full disclosure of the files and urge Congress and the public to fight alongside them. They call on federal and state law enforcement agencies with jurisdiction to investigate the threats and protect them. The survivors refuse to engage with attacks that minimize or discredit their abuse based on age or circumstances, state they were vulnerable and targeted, and reject any claim that turning 18 made them fair game. Several legislative roadblocks, including the Epstein Files Transparency Act, could allow the Department of Justice to delay or heavily redact the files. The Department of Justice did not immediately respond to inquiries.
