00:01Planked by victims of the late sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein, Virginia
00:05Jufres brother couldn't hold back the tears speaking about legislation named
00:10for his late sister. I want to begin with a single word. A word that meant
00:16everything to my sister. A word we will not stop fighting for until real justice
00:22is served. And that word is change. I was recruited at a very young age. Jufres
00:28died by suicide last year. In a memoir published after her death, she accused
00:33Epstein of recruiting her into his sex trafficking ring when she was a minor
00:38working at Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago club and then trafficking her to powerful men,
00:43including Prince Andrew, who denies the accusations and who has since been
00:47stripped of his royal titles. Virginia's law would remove time limitations for
00:52victims of sex trafficking to file civil lawsuits. This bill will unlock the
00:58doors to the courthouse for the survivors and to every Epstein co-conspirator and
01:04sexual predator. We're coming for you. Jufres former attorney urged lawmakers to
01:10pass the legislation is heartbreaking to be here announcing this without her. But I
01:17will tell you that her voice is being heard loud and clear. The recent release of
01:23three million pages of the Epstein files has sent shockwaves across the world. The
01:28Democratic leader of the Senate, Chuck Schumer, highlighted a letter from 20 Epstein
01:33survivors who were outraged that the Justice Department had mistakenly published
01:38their names in the files and even published nude photos of some of the victims before taking
01:43the images down while at the same time redacting the identities of many powerful men.
