00:00:00Thank you to Skye Roberts and Amanda for helping co-convene this roundtable.

00:00:09We're doing this on the day that King Charles is visiting the Capitol.

00:00:13I had made a request of King Charles to meet, not with me, not with Thomas Massey,

00:00:19not with the survivor groups, but the actual survivors.

00:00:22I thought the King owed that to the survivors, given his brothers serious allegations of abuse.

00:00:30And I thought it would have been an incredible moment and statement to show that it doesn't matter how much

00:00:37wealth you have,

00:00:38how much power you have, no human being is dispensable, and that the survivors deserve justice.

00:00:43He unfortunately declined that request.

00:00:48I met with the British ambassador.

00:00:50The British ambassador has suggested that the King will acknowledge the Epstein survivors in his address to Congress today.

00:00:58I hope his flunkies don't take out the acknowledgement from his text,

00:01:03and I fully expect the King to be acknowledging the survivors and the Epstein survivors

00:01:09when he speaks to our nation at Congress this afternoon.

00:01:13But this roundtable is about re-centering the survivors.

00:01:20They have shown such courage, such enormous guts to tell their stories over and over again

00:01:31and to see that there's justice for people who abused young girls and, in some cases, trafficked and raped them.

00:01:39And twice, Skye and other family members and survivors came outside the Capitol,

00:01:46and their advocacy is what led to Thomas Massey and my ability to pass the Epstein Transparency Act.

00:01:55We've managed to release 3 million files.

00:01:58Many of the people in those files have serious allegations of abuse,

00:02:03but there still has not been a single investigation or prosecution in the United States.

00:02:09We need to make sure that the men who abused, raped, or trafficked these girls are facing investigations and prosecutions.

00:02:17Many other countries, Britain, Latvia, Norway, have seen investigations and prosecutions.

00:02:23We haven't had a single one.

00:02:25So this roundtable is about making that call.

00:02:28And then there's still 3 million files that remain hidden that are in a cover-up that the survivors want

00:02:35to see released.

00:02:36There was recently a lawsuit that Katie Fang has brought under the Administrative Procedures Act

00:02:41saying that the administration, the Justice Department, is in violation of the law,

00:02:47of the Epstein Transparency Act that passed overwhelmingly, and they need to release the files.

00:02:51Today is a call to release all of the remaining files

00:02:55and to begin the investigation and prosecution of the Epstein class.

00:02:59But most importantly, it is a dialogue with the survivors and all of the incredible leaders.

00:03:06Thank you to so many of the incredible leaders from women's groups and domestic violence groups and sexual assault groups

00:03:14to have a real conversation about what needs to be done in this country to deal with sexual assault,

00:03:19to deal with the power differential that exists between rich and powerful men and those who they abuse

00:03:25and what we need to do to move forward as a nation and as a world to use this awful

00:03:31Epstein saga

00:03:32to develop a more humane and just policy and more accountability

00:03:37so these things don't happen again to more young girls in our country or around the world.

00:03:42With that, I want to turn it over to Skye Roberts.

00:03:46Skye, thank you for suggesting that we do this, and thank you for your and Amanda's participation.

00:03:54I very much appreciate it.

00:03:55Good morning, and thank you all for being here.

00:03:58My name is Skye Roberts, and I am the younger brother of Virginia Roberts Jufre.

00:04:04I want to begin by thanking Representative Ro Khanna.

00:04:06Thank you for assisting in getting this put together.

00:04:08I think it's a really big day, especially given the moment with the king arriving in town

00:04:12and obviously having the survivors here.

00:04:15It was just the year of Virginia's passing on Saturday last week,

00:04:18and we got to hold a beautiful vigil for her.

00:04:20But we're right back into advocacy work, and we're just steps away from where the king is currently at.

00:04:25I want to take a moment to share Virginia's story because her story is not just hers.

00:04:30It represents so many others who never got the chance to be heard.

00:04:34When Virginia was just 16 years old, my father, who worked as a groundskeeper at Mar-a-Lago,

00:04:39helped her get a job there as a locker room attendant.

00:04:42That should have been a safe opportunity for a young girl.

00:04:45Instead, it became the entry point into a world of unimaginable abuse.

00:04:49That summer, Virginia was recruited at Mar-a-Lago by Ghislaine Maxwell

00:04:53and quickly pulled into orbit of Jeffrey Epstein.

00:04:56What followed was not just abuse by them, but by many powerful individuals,

00:05:01many of whom have still not been brought to justice.

00:05:05This is how trafficking works.

00:05:08Survivors are groomed.

00:05:09They are manipulated into believing they are complicit in their own abuse.

00:05:13They are isolated, controlled, and threatened.

00:05:17I remember one moment that has stayed with me forever,

00:05:21when Epstein handed Virginia a photo of me as a child,

00:05:25wearing my backpack on my way to elementary school.

00:05:29It wasn't just a picture.

00:05:30It was a message, a threat, a way to keep her silent

00:05:34by making her fear for the people she loved.

00:05:38Virginia was trafficked across countries, including to the United Kingdom,

00:05:41where she was abused by Prince Andrew, now former Prince Andrew.

00:05:47There's a difficult irony in all of this.

00:05:50Virginia was recruited from a property owned by Donald Trump

00:05:53and trafficked to a member of the British royal family.

00:05:57Yet, today, survivors are here, sitting with members of Congress,

00:06:01still fighting to be heard, still pushing for real accountability.

00:06:05While many of the powerful figures connected to these systems

00:06:08remain just out of reach, unable to acknowledge survivors face to face.

00:06:14You would expect this to be a moment for the King

00:06:16to give a message to the world that he stands with survivors.

00:06:22We still can't get that from our own President of the United States.

00:06:25He continues to say,

00:06:26hoax, victims or whatever,

00:06:28and this is not about politics to us.

00:06:31This is a human issue, period.

00:06:34And that is why we're here today.

00:06:36We have an opportunity and a responsibility

00:06:38to set a different example for the next generation.

00:06:42Today, the reality is that many survivors of sexual assault

00:06:45do not come forward until around the age of 40.

00:06:48That delay is not a failure of survivors.

00:06:51It is a result of trauma, fear, and systems

00:06:54that have not made space for them to speak sooner.

00:06:57Yet, the statute of limitations continues to run,

00:07:00protecting predators while limiting survivors,

00:07:03allowing time itself to be used as a tool of silence and injustice.

00:07:07That is why legislation like Virginia's law is so critical,

00:07:12eliminating the statute of limitations for sexual abuse at the federal level

00:07:16so survivors can come forward when they are ready,

00:07:18not when the law forces them to.

00:07:21And we must do this in partnership with the incredible organizations here today.

00:07:25Thank you all so, so much.

00:07:26It's a pleasure to meet many, many of you.

00:07:28Many of you, we've worked with you guys,

00:07:32including WorldWe,

00:07:35who've provided so much support and a safe space

00:07:38for many of the survivors to come forward,

00:07:40and it would be a disservice not to mention you here today

00:07:43and how much you've done for us in the survivor community.

00:07:46So, thank you.

00:07:48I'm honored to be a part of this conversation,

00:07:51but more importantly,

00:07:52I'm here to ensure that Virginia's story continues to drive action.

00:07:56With that, I'd like to turn it over to my wife, Amanda,

00:07:59to walk through SOAR, Virginia's law,

00:08:01and the concrete steps we can take together to move this forward.

00:08:11My name is Amanda Roberts,

00:08:13and I am the sister-in-law, Virginia Roberts-Jouffre.

00:08:17And I am in awe of this moment right here.

00:08:21It's always a reminder that it is her who should be sitting in this seat,

00:08:27that her courage, her tenacity,

00:08:29and her refusal to back down from systems

00:08:31who continue to abuse their power

00:08:33bring us here every single time.

00:08:38And it's also striking to see these different organizations

00:08:42and where they come from.

00:08:43Model Alliance, Right for Girls,

00:08:46Ultraviolet, World Without Exploitation,

00:08:48Now, Women's March.

00:08:49It shows you that there is a problem across the globe.

00:08:53It shows you that this Epstein case

00:08:56is not just about a singular event or abuse,

00:08:59that Jeffrey Epstein was not an anomaly,

00:09:03that unfortunately this is a reality

00:09:05that young women, girls, and men, and boys

00:09:08face every single day of their lives,

00:09:10and that at this moment and this time,

00:09:13it is now time to do something about it legally,

00:09:17legislatively,

00:09:18and anyone in power deserves to pay the repercussions of their actions.

00:09:24I want to talk to you guys about SOAR.

00:09:28SOAR was Virginia's non-profit.

00:09:31It was her baby, and it was her dream.

00:09:34And one year after her passing,

00:09:36Skye and I get to announce that we will be the board members of SOAR,

00:09:40and we will actively be able to continue her legacy.

00:09:43It is an honor to sit with you all today

00:09:47to know that this is just the beginning

00:09:49of a continued relationship of real work.

00:09:52I also want to talk about Virginia's law.

00:09:56That was another dream of hers.

00:10:00And it coincides with SOAR,

00:10:02because the questions Virginia asked always is,

00:10:05what happens now?

00:10:06After a survivor leaves sexual exploitation,

00:10:10domestic violence, what happens now?

00:10:13Who is there for them?

00:10:14What if I had an education?

00:10:17What if I had financial resources?

00:10:19What if I had mental health care?

00:10:21How could that have prolonged my life?

00:10:25And what if I had a system that worked for me?

00:10:29Laws that worked for me.

00:10:31And that is what we intend to continue to do with SOAR.

00:10:34We intend to build a non-profit by survivors

00:10:38and for survivors alongside her survivor sisters.

00:10:43And this is just the beginning of her work.

00:10:45And I'm truly, truly honored to sit here with all of you

00:10:48to open this conversation with Ro Khanna

00:10:51and many representatives who want to see real change.

00:10:55We have to begin to dissect the systematic abuse

00:10:59and failures that happened

00:11:00with the first reportings of the FBI.

00:11:03How was that mismanaged and missed?

00:11:07The deals that Acosta was given

00:11:11and how that allowed Jeffrey Epstein

00:11:13to continue to abuse girls for another nine years

00:11:16with hundreds and hundreds of victims.

00:11:19This is a reality that survivors face every single day.

00:11:24It's why more reporting doesn't happen.

00:11:27So we have to start with legislation.

00:11:29We have to show on a legal level

00:11:31that they will pay those repercussions

00:11:33so that survivors can speak out in safety.

00:11:38Thank you, Amanda.

00:11:39Thank you for those very powerful words.

00:11:41And thank you, Sky, for those powerful words.

00:11:44I know it's a very emotional moment

00:11:45and I'm grateful to both of you.

00:11:48We'll now hear from another survivor of Epstein.

00:11:52Charlene, thank you for all the courage

00:11:53you've shown all these months and for being here.

00:11:55If you could share a few words.

00:11:57Thank you, Malkana.

00:11:58Thank you for everybody and all of your help.

00:12:04My name is Charlene Rochard.

00:12:07I'm a survivor of trafficking.

00:12:09But before I ever understood that word,

00:12:13I was just a young woman

00:12:14trying to build a modeling career.

00:12:17I want to speak from that place

00:12:20because the way trafficking actually happens

00:12:22is very different from the way people imagine it.

00:12:27When I entered the modeling world,

00:12:29I was barely a teenager.

00:12:32I was ambitious, excited,

00:12:34and completely unprepared for the risks

00:12:36that came with traveling alone across the world.

00:12:40No one ever talked to me about trafficking,

00:12:43not my modeling agencies,

00:12:45not the adults around me

00:12:46who I assumed understood the industry better than I did.

00:12:51There were no protective measures,

00:12:53no conversations around red flags,

00:12:56no warnings about the kinds of people

00:12:57who target young women

00:12:59who travel internationally with no support system.

00:13:04I didn't know what grooming was.

00:13:06I didn't know what coercion looked like.

00:13:08I didn't know what opportunity could be used as a weapon.

00:13:14And that is exactly why I was vulnerable.

00:13:19Trafficking didn't start with violence.

00:13:22It started with access,

00:13:24people offering mentorship,

00:13:26people who promised exposure, travel,

00:13:28and introductions to powerful individuals.

00:13:31That kind of access is like currency

00:13:34when you're young and trying to succeed.

00:13:37You don't question it.

00:13:39In fact, you're taught to be grateful

00:13:41for all these opportunities.

00:13:44I was groomed and manipulated in plain sight,

00:13:48inside environments that looked legitimate,

00:13:50hotels, studios, photo shoots, industry events,

00:13:54and most during jobs that were framed as career building.

00:13:58I didn't recognize any of it as trafficking

00:14:00because no one had ever taught me

00:14:02what trafficking looked like.

00:14:04By the time the situation shifted

00:14:06into dependency and control,

00:14:08emotional, financial, and reputational,

00:14:11I was already entangled.

00:14:13And like many survivors,

00:14:14I didn't have the language to name what was happening.

00:14:18I thought I had made mistakes.

00:14:21I thought it was my fault.

00:14:24I thought I had put myself in these situations.

00:14:26That confusion is part of the system

00:14:28that is not accidental,

00:14:30and traffickers rely on this.

00:14:33People often talk about trafficking

00:14:35as something that happens in a moment,

00:14:37but the truth is the aftermath

00:14:39follows you far into adulthood.

00:14:43It affects your relationships,

00:14:45who you marry,

00:14:46your sense of safety,

00:14:47your ability to trust,

00:14:49your career,

00:14:49your mental health,

00:14:50and your financial stability.

00:14:53Recovery is not linear.

00:14:54It is lifelong.

00:14:57And the hardest part of knowing

00:14:59that so much of it could be prevented

00:15:01if the systems around me

00:15:04had been designated to protect young people

00:15:07instead of leaving them

00:15:09to navigate this danger alone.

00:15:12Trafficking is not random.

00:15:14It is structured.

00:15:16It is patterned.

00:15:17And it is preventable.

00:15:19I am calling for legislation

00:15:21that reflects how trafficking actually works.

00:15:25Mandatory education and safety protocols

00:15:28for industries that employ young people,

00:15:30especially those who travel,

00:15:32including modeling, entertainment, and sports.

00:15:35Clear legal definitions of grooming,

00:15:39coercive control,

00:15:40so exploitation cannot be reframed as consent.

00:15:46Federal protections that eliminate loopholes

00:15:49created by varying state age of consent laws,

00:15:53especially when minors are transported

00:15:55across state lines.

00:15:58Stronger oversight of travel,

00:16:00model housing,

00:16:02and financial arrangements

00:16:03for minors and young adults

00:16:05working internationally.

00:16:07Pattern-based detection requirements

00:16:09for financial institutions

00:16:11because trafficking leaves financial footprints

00:16:13long before a survivor can speak up.

00:16:18Accountability for individuals and institutions

00:16:20that knowingly or negligently enable

00:16:24trafficking environments.

00:16:26Right now, too much of trafficking happens

00:16:29under the table,

00:16:31hidden by secrecy, silence,

00:16:33and the assumption that if a young woman

00:16:35is traveling for work,

00:16:36she must be safe.

00:16:38That assumption is dangerous,

00:16:40it is wrong,

00:16:41and it's costing lives.

00:16:44What I hope to see are laws created

00:16:46that no one would have protected me.

00:16:50I need laws that protected me

00:16:52when I was a young model.

00:16:55Laws that ensure no girl,

00:16:57no model,

00:16:57no ambitious teenager traveling alone

00:17:01is left without guidance,

00:17:02oversight, or support.

00:17:05If we bring trafficking

00:17:07out of the shadows,

00:17:09if we close the gaps

00:17:11traffickers rely on,

00:17:12and if we legislate

00:17:14based on how exploitation

00:17:15actually unfolds,

00:17:17then we don't just respond

00:17:18to trafficking.

00:17:20We prevent it.

00:17:24Thank you, Charlene.

00:17:25That was really powerful

00:17:27and so many very thoughtful

00:17:29and practical suggestions

00:17:30that hopefully can become part

00:17:31of the conversation

00:17:32and legislation.

00:17:34I appreciate it.

00:17:36I want to now turn to

00:17:37Danny Vansky,

00:17:39another survivor of Epstein,

00:17:41and really grateful

00:17:43for your being here.

00:17:44Thank you so much.

00:17:45Yeah, thank you.

00:17:45First, I want to say thank you

00:17:46for this incredible collective effort

00:17:48that has gone into this

00:17:50because this has never been

00:17:51just about Epstein

00:17:52and Maxwell survivors.

00:17:53It has been about

00:17:54survivors of all abuse,

00:17:57and we really saw that

00:17:58come into play

00:17:59with the Transparency Act.

00:18:01You know, we had people

00:18:02from all over,

00:18:04survivors from all over

00:18:05calling their congressional

00:18:06leaders and their reps,

00:18:07and that fueled this fight

00:18:09in such a profound way.

00:18:11So it is a collective,

00:18:12and I think people

00:18:13in this country

00:18:14really want to see change,

00:18:15and we feel that

00:18:16as Epstein survivors.

00:18:19Similar to Charlene's experience,

00:18:22I was also groomed.

00:18:23For me, it was the dance world.

00:18:25And there are safeguards

00:18:26that need to be put in place

00:18:28because, I mean,

00:18:30I was groomed before.

00:18:31I knew I was groomed, right?

00:18:34So I want to take you back

00:18:35to 2004 and 2005,

00:18:38which was when my abuse began

00:18:40with Jeffrey Epstein.

00:18:41I was 17 years old.

00:18:43But again, I came from

00:18:44the dance world,

00:18:46competition dance first,

00:18:47moved into the world of ballet.

00:18:50And there has always been

00:18:52a world of,

00:18:53there's a hierarchy

00:18:53that has always existed.

00:18:56We are, as dancers,

00:18:57often in places

00:18:59where there's direct access

00:19:00from older teachers.

00:19:03I remember I used to take

00:19:04private ballet lessons,

00:19:06and my mom would be with me,

00:19:07and there was an act of,

00:19:09it felt very ritualistic,

00:19:10of walking in there

00:19:11with my leotard and tights

00:19:12and my sweatpants over,

00:19:13and you would take off

00:19:14the sweatpants,

00:19:15and you would go in

00:19:16and have a lesson,

00:19:16which really wasn't

00:19:18that different

00:19:18from what I experienced

00:19:19with Jeffrey Epstein.

00:19:21I was trafficked

00:19:23to Jeffrey Epstein.

00:19:24I, you know,

00:19:25didn't know what that meant

00:19:26for such a long time.

00:19:28My recruiter was,

00:19:30there were two,

00:19:30one was 19 and one was 15 years old

00:19:32who was just trying

00:19:33to make it for herself.

00:19:34And I think something

00:19:35that's often overlooked

00:19:36in this

00:19:37is the recruitment aspect

00:19:38of this.

00:19:39And it's,

00:19:39it felt like a pyramid scheme,

00:19:42right?

00:19:42And there was a coercive manipulation

00:19:45that kept us all there

00:19:48that felt completely

00:19:50like it was something

00:19:51you could not escape.

00:19:53In my own abuse,

00:19:54Jeffrey,

00:19:55I know many of you

00:19:56know this story,

00:19:57but in my own abuse,

00:19:59my mom had a brain tumor

00:20:00that she was diagnosed with.

00:20:02I brought Jeffrey Epstein

00:20:04the scans

00:20:04because I had thought

00:20:05that he made his money

00:20:06from the medical profession.

00:20:08And he basically

00:20:10held the scans over me

00:20:11and said,

00:20:13you know,

00:20:14you,

00:20:14I have the power

00:20:15to get the best anesthesiologist

00:20:18and all the power

00:20:18at Mount Sinai

00:20:19or I can take all that away.

00:20:22And I feared for her

00:20:23and for her life.

00:20:24And so I did whatever

00:20:27I had to do.

00:20:27And he basically said to me

00:20:28at that point,

00:20:29you can procure other girls

00:20:30or you can accept

00:20:31you have to do more here.

00:20:34And so the abuse held me there.

00:20:36I did not recruit anybody,

00:20:37but even if I had,

00:20:38that was all part of this,

00:20:40right?

00:20:40It was all about

00:20:41the manipulation.

00:20:44But all to say that

00:20:46trafficking can happen anywhere.

00:20:47We were on the Upper East Side

00:20:49of Manhattan.

00:20:49I recently went back

00:20:50to the mansion

00:20:51and stood at the steps,

00:20:53which was one of the hardest

00:20:53experiences I've done

00:20:54in my adult life

00:20:55because the door

00:20:57still felt massive.

00:20:58It still felt,

00:20:59you know,

00:21:00when you're young

00:21:01and you're playing

00:21:02in the backyard,

00:21:02the backyard feels so big,

00:21:04right?

00:21:05And then you go back

00:21:06and you're like,

00:21:06oh, it was so tiny,

00:21:07right?

00:21:08And in this experience,

00:21:10no, it really is that looming

00:21:13and not much power

00:21:14and even just the architecture

00:21:16of it is meant

00:21:17to make you feel small.

00:21:19So I was held there

00:21:21for so long

00:21:23and I want to shift

00:21:24to the way

00:21:24the systems

00:21:25have perpetually failed us.

00:21:27I was able

00:21:27to extricate myself.

00:21:29However,

00:21:29in 2008,

00:21:30I was subpoenaed

00:21:32and I went in

00:21:33for the interview

00:21:36and nobody ever told me

00:21:38I was safe.

00:21:40I knew that I had

00:21:41to show up

00:21:42for the subpoena.

00:21:42I did not have

00:21:43a victim's rights advocate.

00:21:44I did not have a lawyer.

00:21:46I didn't know

00:21:47I was entitled

00:21:47to those things.

00:21:49It did feel like

00:21:50an interrogation

00:21:51in some ways

00:21:52but even more so than that,

00:21:54Jeffrey had already

00:21:54proven his power

00:21:55time and time again

00:21:57and I had a friend

00:21:59who called me

00:21:59and said

00:22:00at that point,

00:22:02you know,

00:22:03Jeffrey threatened my family.

00:22:04You cannot speak.

00:22:06He had also told me

00:22:07that I would be brought up

00:22:08on prostitution charges

00:22:09because I had turned 18

00:22:10while I was there

00:22:12and I called my mom

00:22:14and my mom was so fearful

00:22:15and she said,

00:22:15get as far away

00:22:17from this as possible.

00:22:17There was nobody

00:22:19who said,

00:22:19there's a safe space

00:22:20to tell your story.

00:22:22So when we think

00:22:23about all of this,

00:22:25I think there's some reform

00:22:27that needs to happen here.

00:22:28When victims are brought

00:22:30in to the FBI

00:22:31or questioned,

00:22:32how do we make them

00:22:34feel seen and heard

00:22:35and safe

00:22:36so that we can get

00:22:37the stories

00:22:38and understand

00:22:39what's happening?

00:22:40I think right now

00:22:42there's still demand

00:22:43for this.

00:22:44Demand has not slowed.

00:22:46Right now we see things

00:22:47online like Rape Academy

00:22:49and Motherless.com

00:22:51and so we know

00:22:52that this is still happening

00:22:54time and time again

00:22:56and if not,

00:22:57it's gotten worse.

00:22:58So who is the next

00:22:59Jeffrey Epstein

00:23:00and what is happening

00:23:01to our youth right now?

00:23:03I am a dance teacher,

00:23:04I'm a choreographer,

00:23:04I'm not a politician

00:23:07and I see these girls,

00:23:09I see these kids

00:23:10that come in

00:23:11time and time again

00:23:13and they're exposed

00:23:14to all of this

00:23:15and even more now

00:23:16with the internet.

00:23:17I mean, 2004, 2005,

00:23:19the internet was

00:23:20barely a thing.

00:23:21They didn't have access

00:23:23to all of this.

00:23:24So the importance

00:23:25for reform is huge.

00:23:27So it's twofold.

00:23:28We do need change

00:23:30to come, obviously,

00:23:31in a lot of ways,

00:23:32but I think Virginia's law

00:23:34is a great start

00:23:35for those of us,

00:23:37you know,

00:23:38I'm almost 40 now,

00:23:39I'm just coming to terms

00:23:40with my own abuse.

00:23:41Virginia led the way for me,

00:23:42so did Maria Farmer

00:23:44in a lot of ways

00:23:45and side note,

00:23:47we still haven't found

00:23:47the other half

00:23:48of her 1996 report

00:23:50so that is still out there.

00:23:52No one can access that

00:23:54so we do need

00:23:54the release of the files

00:23:55but, you know,

00:23:57I'm just coming to terms now

00:23:59with my own abuse

00:24:00at almost 40

00:24:01and, you know,

00:24:03statute of limitations

00:24:04absolutely needs to change.

00:24:06There should be no time limit

00:24:07on trying to figure out

00:24:09what happened to you.

00:24:11A lot of the time,

00:24:12becoming a parent

00:24:13changes you.

00:24:14It changed me

00:24:14and I wasn't able

00:24:16to look at my life

00:24:18until I had my son

00:24:20and knew that I needed

00:24:20to change it for him.

00:24:22So that is the first thing.

00:24:23The second thing is

00:24:24I do believe

00:24:25that we need

00:24:26victims' rights advocates

00:24:27in rooms and spaces

00:24:29with young survivors.

00:24:31So, thank you.

00:24:32Thank you, Vanny.

00:24:34Thank you so much

00:24:35for your continued courage

00:24:36and sharing that

00:24:38very personal story

00:24:39and your call for action.

00:24:42So I really appreciate it.

00:24:44We now have so many

00:24:46of the most incredible leaders

00:24:49in women's rights

00:24:51and survivors' rights

00:24:52and we've got

00:24:53incredible colleagues of mine.

00:24:55So maybe what we will do

00:24:57is we'll go have

00:24:58one of the leaders speak,

00:24:59one of my colleagues speak

00:25:01and if everyone could just

00:25:02maybe try to keep

00:25:03to two minutes

00:25:04so that we can then

00:25:05have conversation

00:25:07after that.

00:25:08And I want to just

00:25:08thank Preeti on my team

00:25:10and Sarah on my team

00:25:11for having so many

00:25:12of the most incredible

00:25:13leaders here in this room.

00:25:15So maybe we will start,

00:25:18Kim, with you

00:25:18with the National Now president.

00:25:20You need no introduction

00:25:22to the organization

00:25:23and appreciate your leadership

00:25:25and the work you're doing.

00:25:28Thank you, Congressman.

00:25:30I'm Kim Villanueva,

00:25:31president of the

00:25:32National Organization for Women

00:25:33and I am so honored

00:25:35to be here today

00:25:35with the Survivor Sisters

00:25:37and members of Congress.

00:25:39The United States

00:25:40has spent more than

00:25:40two decades

00:25:41building a comprehensive

00:25:42legal framework

00:25:43to combat human trafficking

00:25:45and sexual exploitation

00:25:47beginning with the

00:25:48Trafficking Victims Protection Act

00:25:50and strengthened

00:25:51through bipartisan

00:25:52reauthorizations.

00:25:54These laws are not

00:25:55the problem.

00:25:56They just aren't enough.

00:25:59The problem is that

00:26:00they are not consistently

00:26:01enforced

00:26:01and survivors

00:26:02are paying the price.

00:26:04Across this country,

00:26:06survivors still face

00:26:07unstable access to housing,

00:26:09health care,

00:26:10and legal support

00:26:11and advocacy.

00:26:12Cases stall.

00:26:13Restitution goes uncollected.

00:26:15Files go missing.

00:26:16And too often,

00:26:19accountability stops short

00:26:20when wealth

00:26:21or influence

00:26:22is involved.

00:26:23That's not a gap

00:26:25in statute.

00:26:26It's a failure

00:26:27of political will.

00:26:29Organizations like now

00:26:30and my sister organizations

00:26:31have long made it clear

00:26:32that trafficking

00:26:33and sexual violence

00:26:35are not isolated incidents.

00:26:37They are systemic abuses

00:26:39rooted in gender inequity,

00:26:41economic vulnerability,

00:26:42and power imbalances.

00:26:44If we ignore these conditions,

00:26:46we will continue

00:26:47to treat symptoms

00:26:48instead of causes.

00:26:50And we state,

00:26:51without hesitation,

00:26:53that we believe women.

00:26:55We believe survivors.

00:26:57We believe that those

00:26:58who come forward,

00:26:59often at great personal risk,

00:27:01to tell their truths,

00:27:02like Virginia,

00:27:03even when the powerful

00:27:04try to silence them.

00:27:06High-profile cases

00:27:07like Epstein

00:27:08did not expose a loophole.

00:27:10They exposed a pattern.

00:27:12Institutions failing to act,

00:27:14systems protecting

00:27:15the powerful

00:27:16and predators,

00:27:17and survivors

00:27:18left without recourse

00:27:19for years,

00:27:20sometimes decades.

00:27:22Congress has the authority

00:27:24to change this.

00:27:25That means removing barriers

00:27:27that prevent survivors

00:27:28from seeking justice,

00:27:30including outdated

00:27:31statutes of limitation,

00:27:33Virginia's law.

00:27:34It means enforcing restitution

00:27:36so that it's actually delivered.

00:27:38It means holding

00:27:39not just perpetrators,

00:27:40but the institution

00:27:41and industries

00:27:42that enable exploitation

00:27:44accountable.

00:27:45And it means guaranteeing

00:27:47stable, long-term funding

00:27:49for survivor services

00:27:50so that support

00:27:51does not depend

00:27:52on political cycles.

00:27:54To federal officials,

00:27:56we say,

00:27:57the tools are already

00:27:58in your hand.

00:27:59The question is whether

00:28:00they will be used

00:28:00to their full extent.

00:28:02Survivors do not need

00:28:03more promises.

00:28:05They need enforcement,

00:28:07accountability,

00:28:08and action.

00:28:10Thank you, President

00:28:10Villanueva,

00:28:11for your incredible leadership

00:28:13and now's incredible leadership

00:28:15on these issues.

00:28:16And I want to recognize

00:28:19one of my colleagues,

00:28:21we'll have both of them

00:28:22speak,

00:28:23but one,

00:28:24Summer Lee,

00:28:24on oversight.

00:28:25You know,

00:28:26Representative Lee

00:28:28was the reason

00:28:29we have these oversight hearings

00:28:30because very early on,

00:28:32she had a subpoena

00:28:35and somehow she got

00:28:37Republicans to vote

00:28:38for it as well.

00:28:39And that's what led

00:28:41to the oversight committee

00:28:43starting all of the investigation.

00:28:45So really an honor

00:28:46to have you here,

00:28:47Representative Lee.

00:28:49Thank you, Rep. Khanna,

00:28:49and thank you so much

00:28:50for convening us.

00:28:51I just want to say,

00:28:53and first of all,

00:28:54just taking a moment

00:28:55of acknowledgement

00:28:56to the just incredible bravery

00:28:58of the women,

00:28:59the survivors,

00:29:00who have come forward,

00:29:01not just today,

00:29:02not just throughout

00:29:03this moment

00:29:04that we have been in,

00:29:05but unfortunately

00:29:06for year after year.

00:29:08And also just wanted

00:29:08to recognize

00:29:09just the incredible

00:29:10enduring presence

00:29:12of Virginia

00:29:12on all of this work

00:29:14and so many more survivors

00:29:16who have stepped up

00:29:18in big and small ways,

00:29:20some who still will.

00:29:22And that is because

00:29:23of the work

00:29:24that you all have been doing

00:29:25and of course

00:29:26the support

00:29:27of the community

00:29:30who has consistently

00:29:32tried to move this forward

00:29:33from state houses

00:29:34to Congress.

00:29:35So I just wanted

00:29:36to just express

00:29:37our incredible gratitude

00:29:38to all of you all

00:29:39for this work.

00:29:40I just know,

00:29:40and we all know,

00:29:41that this has been

00:29:42incredibly difficult,

00:29:43right,

00:29:43especially as you all,

00:29:45some of you,

00:29:45have been up against

00:29:46some of the most powerful

00:29:48institutions,

00:29:49organizations,

00:29:49and people

00:29:50across the entire world.

00:29:52I think it's important

00:29:53that we take that moment

00:29:54to recognize

00:29:55how big that is.

00:29:57You all have been courageous

00:29:59and admirable

00:30:00throughout all of that.

00:30:01And you wouldn't have to,

00:30:02and you shouldn't have to be,

00:30:03but we thank you

00:30:04for using your voices.

00:30:05When we forced the subpoena

00:30:07for the Department of Justice

00:30:09to release the files

00:30:10back in August

00:30:11through the Federal Law

00:30:12Enforcement Subcommittee,

00:30:14that created the opportunity

00:30:15for the administration

00:30:16to do the right thing.

00:30:18But that wouldn't

00:30:20have been possible

00:30:20if there wasn't already

00:30:22a movement of people

00:30:23of all political backgrounds

00:30:24who directed

00:30:25the American consciousness

00:30:26and the media attention

00:30:28towards this injustice.

00:30:31Your advocacy

00:30:31has exposed

00:30:32deep failures

00:30:35in our broken judicial system.

00:30:38It's pushed our country

00:30:39and our society

00:30:41to confront

00:30:42really deeply

00:30:43uncomfortable truths.

00:30:46But because of you,

00:30:47there is greater awareness

00:30:48and there's greater pressure

00:30:49and there's a greater momentum

00:30:50towards change.

00:30:51And unlike so many other topics

00:30:53that we experience

00:30:54in this country,

00:30:55this is not a news cycle

00:30:56that has just gone away.

00:30:58No matter how much time has gone,

00:30:59this is not something

00:31:00that has just been blown away.

00:31:02And I think that

00:31:03while there are so many people

00:31:04who would love for this

00:31:05to one day just be pushed

00:31:06under the rug

00:31:07or one day for this

00:31:08to just pass by,

00:31:09we know that the work

00:31:10that is going to happen

00:31:12in this case

00:31:12won't just result in justice

00:31:15for the thousands

00:31:16of survivors

00:31:18of Epstein

00:31:19or past abusers,

00:31:20it will make sure

00:31:21that we have fewer survivors

00:31:23moving forward,

00:31:24which is our ultimate goal.

00:31:26The systemic failures

00:31:27that we see

00:31:28within our Department of Justice,

00:31:30within our United States government,

00:31:31within so many different layers,

00:31:33the reason why

00:31:34this is such an important case

00:31:35is because it will give us

00:31:36an opportunity

00:31:36to finally confront them

00:31:37and say that

00:31:38we need to build

00:31:39a better system moving forward.

00:31:41We need to ensure

00:31:42that we are creating

00:31:43the mechanisms

00:31:44that no survivor

00:31:45would ever be unsafe

00:31:47when they come forward,

00:31:48that they would never

00:31:49be cast aside,

00:31:50but also that the system itself

00:31:52would no longer

00:31:53circle the wagons

00:31:53around each other,

00:31:54that these systems

00:31:55will be accountable

00:31:56and not just accountable

00:31:58for the immediate action,

00:31:59but what our hope is

00:32:00is that we can create

00:32:01some accountability

00:32:02that we build better systems

00:32:03moving forward,

00:32:04that our institutions

00:32:06fundamentally

00:32:07and transformationally change,

00:32:09that we have a government

00:32:11that could ever allow someone

00:32:12because of how wealthy they are,

00:32:14well-connected,

00:32:15that they would be

00:32:16more protected

00:32:16than anybody else

00:32:18and the people

00:32:18who they have perpetuated

00:32:19harm against

00:32:20is a foundational problem.

00:32:22So I'm committed

00:32:24and I know that

00:32:25so many of us are,

00:32:26we are committed

00:32:26to seeing this one through,

00:32:28to not shutting up

00:32:29about this one,

00:32:30to not letting us

00:32:32off the hook.

00:32:33So I'm sorry

00:32:35that you have had

00:32:35to be more patient

00:32:36than anyone should have to be.

00:32:37I'm sorry that you all

00:32:38have had to show up

00:32:39more times

00:32:40than anyone should have to,

00:32:41but we hope that

00:32:42with this,

00:32:43this moves us

00:32:44into a new era

00:32:46and we know that

00:32:47one way or another

00:32:47we're going to fight

00:32:48for it anyway,

00:32:48so I just wanted

00:32:49to thank you all

00:32:49so much for inviting me today,

00:32:50for allowing us

00:32:51to listen to you,

00:32:52to your stories

00:32:52and understand your work more.

00:32:54Thank you,

00:32:56Representative Leyte,

00:32:56for that very powerful statement.

00:32:58We'll continue

00:32:59to alternate

00:33:00between the members

00:33:01who have taken time

00:33:02out of their busy schedules

00:33:03to be here

00:33:03and our incredible leaders

00:33:06from the women's rights

00:33:08and survivor rights community.

00:33:10With that,

00:33:11let me give two minutes

00:33:12to Board Member Chakraborty,

00:33:15Board Member of Women's March

00:33:17and has done

00:33:17so much incredible organizing.

00:33:20Good morning, everyone.

00:33:22It's great to be

00:33:23in this room

00:33:23with all of you

00:33:24and thank you,

00:33:25Representative Kanna,

00:33:26for convening us here today.

00:33:27I'm Rinalini Chakraborty.

00:33:29I'm an advocate

00:33:30and organizer

00:33:31for reproductive justice

00:33:32and gender justice

00:33:33and 20 years ago,

00:33:35I entered the fight,

00:33:36fighting for sex workers' rights

00:33:38and against human trafficking

00:33:40back home in India

00:33:41and I'm here today

00:33:42representing the Women's March

00:33:43as one of the national board members.

00:33:45At Women's March,

00:33:47our primary goal

00:33:48in advocating

00:33:49against human trafficking

00:33:50and sexual violence

00:33:52has always been

00:33:54to center the impact

00:33:55on survivors.

00:33:56We've sent tens of thousands

00:33:58of letters to Congress

00:33:59in support

00:34:00of Representative Kanna's

00:34:01Epstein Files Transparency Act,

00:34:03demanding the full release

00:34:05of those files

00:34:06and accountability

00:34:06for the perpetrators

00:34:08within them.

00:34:09Over the last year,

00:34:10we funded billboards

00:34:12to build awareness,

00:34:13organized vigils,

00:34:14escalated protest actions

00:34:16across the globe

00:34:18and activated

00:34:19and mobilized thousands

00:34:21of activists

00:34:22on this issue.

00:34:23We organized 3,000 people

00:34:25to show up

00:34:26at the gates

00:34:26of Epstein's Zorro Ranch

00:34:28to demand an investigation

00:34:30and to remember

00:34:31the women and girls

00:34:32that were harmed

00:34:33within its gates.

00:34:34And following these demands,

00:34:36the New Mexico Department

00:34:37of Justice

00:34:37was pressured

00:34:38to search

00:34:39those desecrated grounds.

00:34:41We partnered

00:34:41with the family

00:34:42of Virginia Giuffre

00:34:43both to join us

00:34:45at Zorro Ranch

00:34:45and to host a vigil

00:34:47in her memory

00:34:47just this past weekend

00:34:49that had over 700 attendees

00:34:51in person and online.

00:34:53The Women's March movement

00:34:56grew out of public outcry

00:34:58that Trump,

00:35:00a known predator

00:35:00and proud misogynist,

00:35:02was elected

00:35:03to the highest office

00:35:04in this country.

00:35:05We knew then

00:35:06that his rhetoric

00:35:07would set a tone

00:35:08for the nation

00:35:09and we knew

00:35:10that his authoritarian tendencies

00:35:11would only escalate

00:35:13as they have,

00:35:14as we've seen

00:35:14in his second term.

00:35:16At every turn since then,

00:35:17as we've demanded justice

00:35:19for survivors

00:35:20and drawn attention

00:35:21to feminist issues,

00:35:22we've been told

00:35:23to sit down and wait,

00:35:25sometimes from those

00:35:26who are meant

00:35:26to be on our side.

00:35:28In good times,

00:35:30contempt for women

00:35:31and feminist issues

00:35:32is an ongoing challenge,

00:35:34but in the face

00:35:35of rising fascism,

00:35:36women's rights

00:35:37are summarily dismissed

00:35:38and often called

00:35:39a distraction.

00:35:41But we know

00:35:41that misogyny,

00:35:42oppressive gender roles

00:35:44and attacks

00:35:44on bodily autonomy

00:35:46are a key component

00:35:47of authoritarian movements.

00:35:49And at the same time

00:35:51that there is backlash

00:35:51against feminist progress,

00:35:53there is also an escalation

00:35:55of human rights crises,

00:35:57the destruction of democracy

00:35:58and a rise in authoritarianism

00:36:00across the world.

00:36:01We cannot address

00:36:03these issues in isolation.

00:36:04They are intrinsically connected.

00:36:06And we cannot abandon

00:36:08the fight for gender justice,

00:36:10the fight against

00:36:10gender-based violence,

00:36:11just because we have

00:36:13multiple other fights

00:36:14in front of us.

00:36:15So our urgent call to action

00:36:16right now for Congress,

00:36:18from the press,

00:36:19for everyday people,

00:36:21is that we make

00:36:22these connections,

00:36:23that we understand

00:36:24that misogyny and fascism

00:36:25are both on the rise,

00:36:27that we always center survivors

00:36:29and ensure that their voices

00:36:30are heard,

00:36:31and that we keep fighting

00:36:33for a world

00:36:33where every perpetrator

00:36:35of sexual violence

00:36:36is terrified

00:36:37of the consequences

00:36:38of their actions.

00:36:40Thank you for that

00:36:42very powerful statement,

00:36:44Board Member Chuck Roberthy.

00:36:46I now want to recognize

00:36:47Representative Stansbury.

00:36:49Representative Stansbury

00:36:50has been just such

00:36:51an incredible advocate

00:36:53on the Oversight Committee

00:36:54and reading all the files

00:36:56and standing with survivors.

00:36:57Thank you for joining us.

00:37:00And just I'm honored

00:37:01to be amongst you all

00:37:02and to stand with you

00:37:04in the fight.

00:37:05And I know this weekend

00:37:06was the memorial

00:37:07of your sister's passing.

00:37:09And I know all of us are,

00:37:11I'm sorry,

00:37:12it's a hard week.

00:37:16And so I can feel

00:37:17the presence of Virginia

00:37:19here in this room.

00:37:21I think the one thing

00:37:22I just want to share

00:37:24is that the stories

00:37:26of all of the survivors

00:37:27and the advocates

00:37:29who are doing this work

00:37:30is changing the world.

00:37:32And I just want to lift up

00:37:34the words,

00:37:35I think Congresswoman Lee

00:37:37already said everything

00:37:38that could be said

00:37:41and in such a powerful way.

00:37:44You know,

00:37:45I was reflecting

00:37:46as you were talking

00:37:47about this being

00:37:47a foundational problem.

00:37:49We're celebrating

00:37:50the 250th anniversary

00:37:51of this nation's founding.

00:37:53And there's nothing

00:37:54more foundationally problematic

00:37:56about our country

00:37:58than the fact

00:37:59that at its founding,

00:38:00the vast majority

00:38:01of Americans

00:38:02couldn't participate.

00:38:05and part of the arc

00:38:07of history

00:38:07of this country

00:38:08is seeking equality,

00:38:10equity, justice,

00:38:12and to move that arc

00:38:15towards greater participation

00:38:17in democracy.

00:38:18And I believe

00:38:19that the work

00:38:21that you all are doing

00:38:22is not just standing up

00:38:23against sexual violence

00:38:24and exploitation,

00:38:25but actually moving

00:38:27this country

00:38:27and our world forward

00:38:28as we move

00:38:30into the next chapter.

00:38:31that we're not going

00:38:32to stand

00:38:33not just with a president

00:38:35and an administration

00:38:36that is continuing

00:38:38to engage

00:38:39in abusive behavior

00:38:41and cover up

00:38:42sexual exploitation,

00:38:43but that as women,

00:38:44we are not going

00:38:46to allow our society

00:38:47to not face

00:38:48these inconvenient truths.

00:38:50and that as a society,

00:38:52we're going to continue

00:38:53to push forward.

00:38:55And I'll just add,

00:38:56I do have some

00:38:58more formal remarks,

00:38:59but I want to hear

00:39:00about what we can do

00:39:01to change the system

00:39:02from all of you.

00:39:04That I travel

00:39:05all over the country

00:39:06and I'm sure all of us

00:39:07have this experience.

00:39:10Every single day,

00:39:11I get stopped

00:39:12on the street,

00:39:13I get stopped

00:39:14at the grocery store,

00:39:15I get stopped,

00:39:16you know,

00:39:17just going about my life

00:39:19from people

00:39:20you would not even imagine

00:39:21who pull me aside

00:39:23who say,

00:39:24I'm a survivor.

00:39:26Local leaders,

00:39:27elected officials,

00:39:28donors,

00:39:29people you would

00:39:30never expect.

00:39:31And so even though

00:39:33the institution itself

00:39:34has a foundational problem,

00:39:36even though

00:39:36this institution

00:39:38and the federal government

00:39:39are failing to act

00:39:40and have failed to act

00:39:41since the beginning

00:39:42of when many of you

00:39:44first told your stories,

00:39:45I want you to know

00:39:47that your stories

00:39:48are changing the world

00:39:49and there are literally

00:39:50millions of survivors

00:39:51out there

00:39:52who are hearing

00:39:53and seeing

00:39:53what you are doing

00:39:54and it's changing them.

00:39:57And so please continue

00:39:59to tell your stories,

00:40:00continue to demand

00:40:01accountability

00:40:02and we're just so grateful

00:40:04for all the work

00:40:05that you guys are doing.

00:40:06So thank you.

00:40:07Thank you,

00:40:07Representative Sandsbury.

00:40:09Now we'll hear

00:40:10from Ms. Dahlia Locke.

00:40:12Thank you for your leadership

00:40:13with World Without Exploitation

00:40:15to prevent sexual exploitation

00:40:17of young people.

00:40:18Thank you,

00:40:19Congressman Kama,

00:40:20for convening this round to the world.

00:40:21And thank you,

00:40:22Congresswoman Lee Jai Paul,

00:40:24Wendry Fernandez,

00:40:24and thanks for your leadership.

00:40:26My name is Dahlia Eddin-Locke

00:40:28and I'm the policy

00:40:29and education manager

00:40:30at World Without Exploitation,

00:40:31a national coalition

00:40:33of nearly 200 organizations

00:40:34committed to ending

00:40:35sex trafficking.

00:40:36When a survivor of Epstein

00:40:38who had completed

00:40:39our advocacy training program

00:40:40came to us this past summer,

00:40:42and shared her deep frustration

00:40:44with the federal government's

00:40:45mishandling and concealment

00:40:46of the Epstein case,

00:40:47it became clear

00:40:48that her experience

00:40:49was not isolated.

00:40:50It echoed the broader failures

00:40:52of accountability and justice

00:40:54faced by survivors

00:40:55of sex trafficking

00:40:56and sexual exploitation

00:40:57across the United States

00:40:58every day.

00:40:59That clarity pushed us forward.

00:41:01And our rally on Capitol Hill

00:41:03calling for the release

00:41:03of the Epstein files

00:41:04helped drive the passage

00:41:06of the Epstein Files

00:41:07Transparency Act,

00:41:08a feat made possible

00:41:09only by the persistence

00:41:11and leadership

00:41:12from survivors

00:41:13like the incredible women

00:41:14who spoke before me.

00:41:17Working with Sky and Amanda

00:41:18and others,

00:41:19our team,

00:41:20namely my colleague Bella Paraki

00:41:21who's here today,

00:41:23helped introduce Virginia's law

00:41:24to eliminate the statute

00:41:25of limitations

00:41:26for federal civil claims

00:41:28by adult survivors.

00:41:29Our team is also advancing

00:41:31a cause of action bill

00:41:32with Representatives Kanna

00:41:33and Jayapal

00:41:33so survivors can seek redress

00:41:35for government failures

00:41:36to protect them

00:41:37during the file release

00:41:38and pressing for full implementation

00:41:40of the Trafficking Survivors

00:41:41Relief Act

00:41:42passed in January

00:41:43so the wrongful convictions

00:41:45of survivors

00:41:45can be vacated.

00:41:47Justice must also meet

00:41:48this digital moment.

00:41:50Exploitation now

00:41:52mostly happens online

00:41:53and young people,

00:41:54especially girls,

00:41:55are uniquely at risk.

00:41:57Image-based sexual abuse

00:41:59has become normalized

00:42:00as their explicit images,

00:42:02real and fake,

00:42:03are passed around schools,

00:42:05shared in group chats,

00:42:06and posted to pornography sites.

00:42:08They internalize the message

00:42:10that their bodies

00:42:11are currency

00:42:11and their worth

00:42:13lies in their mass consumption.

00:42:15Sex traffickers,

00:42:16buyers, exploiters

00:42:18abuse this erosion

00:42:19of consent and boundaries

00:42:21to exploit young people online.

00:42:23Now, more prone than ever

00:42:25to mistake grooming

00:42:27for flattery.

00:42:29Legislation can deliver justice

00:42:30but it also has the power

00:42:31to shift norms.

00:42:32The Kids Online Safety Act,

00:42:34the Stop CSAM Act,

00:42:35and the Defiance Act

00:42:36are essential.

00:42:36They require platforms

00:42:38to prioritize safety

00:42:39over profit,

00:42:40prevent and remove

00:42:41child sexual abuse material,

00:42:43and empower survivors

00:42:44to hold perpetrators accountable.

00:42:46Finally, justice requires

00:42:48confronting the core

00:42:49of sex trafficking,

00:42:50the demand.

00:42:51The forthcoming

00:42:53Sex Trafficking Demand Reduction Act

00:42:55recognizes what research shows.

00:42:58Trafficking is fueled primarily

00:43:00by the demand for paid sex

00:43:02created by sex buyers,

00:43:04often white men

00:43:05with a disposable income.

00:43:06No buyers,

00:43:08no business.

00:43:08This bill would incorporate

00:43:10demand reduction

00:43:11into the State Department's

00:43:12TIP Report,

00:43:13closing a critical gap

00:43:14in evaluation

00:43:15and driving global policy change.

00:43:18The powerful men

00:43:19in Epstein's circle,

00:43:20who we have come to call

00:43:21co-conspirators

00:43:22or associates,

00:43:24were sex buyers

00:43:25who used their socioeconomic privilege

00:43:27to purchase access

00:43:28to vulnerable women and girls.

00:43:31This inherently unequal power dynamic

00:43:33at the crux

00:43:34of the prostitution system

00:43:35is why sex trafficking

00:43:37exists and persists today.

00:43:39If you take one thing away

00:43:41from what I say,

00:43:42please remember this.

00:43:43I know there are calls

00:43:45to fully decriminalize prostitution,

00:43:47including sex buying,

00:43:48pimping,

00:43:49and brothel owning.

00:43:49I ask how in this moment

00:43:52of reckoning

00:43:53where the Epstein case

00:43:54had laid bare

00:43:55how crucial buyers are

00:43:57to this system

00:43:58can we look survivors

00:43:59in the eye

00:44:00and say the men

00:44:02who exploited you

00:44:03preyed on your insecurities,

00:44:05fetishized your race

00:44:06and sexuality,

00:44:08stalked you outside

00:44:08of foster homes,

00:44:10exploited your immigration status

00:44:11against you,

00:44:12they will be met

00:44:13with impunity?

00:44:14Sex buyers

00:44:15must be investigated

00:44:16and held responsible

00:44:17in the Epstein case

00:44:18and beyond.

00:44:19These measures move

00:44:21towards a powerful

00:44:22federal framework

00:44:22that prevents exploitation,

00:44:24holds buyers

00:44:25and exploiters accountable,

00:44:26and ensures survivors

00:44:27can access meaningful justice.

00:44:29But it is just the beginning

00:44:30of what we can

00:44:31and must do together.

00:44:34Thank you, Ms. Lott,

00:44:35for those very powerful words.

00:44:37Now I want to recognize

00:44:39Representative Fernandez.

00:44:40Representative Fernandez

00:44:41is the chair

00:44:41of the Women's Caucus

00:44:43and played an incredibly

00:44:45critical role

00:44:46in getting the Epstein files passed.

00:44:49Thank you,

00:44:50Representative McKenna,

00:44:51and thank you

00:44:52to the survivors

00:44:53and advocates.

00:44:53I feel like we've become

00:44:54part of a close

00:44:56extended familia, right?

00:44:58And I've told you

00:44:59over and again,

00:45:00I think you are

00:45:01some of the most courageous

00:45:02and impactful

00:45:04women of our generation

00:45:06because you refused

00:45:07to let the rich

00:45:09and powerful silence you,

00:45:11and your refusal

00:45:12to be silenced

00:45:14by the rich and powerful

00:45:15has inspired a nation

00:45:17because we are sick

00:45:18and tired

00:45:19of the rich

00:45:20and powerful

00:45:20controlling our lives.

00:45:22And a very rich

00:45:23and powerful person

00:45:24is going to speak

00:45:25to the joint session

00:45:27of Congress,

00:45:27and he refused

00:45:28to speak to you.

00:45:30But you didn't

00:45:31bow down, right?

00:45:34And I thank you

00:45:35for organizing this

00:45:36and coming to this.

00:45:37And Attorney General

00:45:39acting,

00:45:40we don't ever really

00:45:41want him to be

00:45:41Attorney General,

00:45:42because he said

00:45:43the open quote,

00:45:44the DOJ has now

00:45:45released all the files

00:45:47with respect

00:45:47to the Epstein saga.

00:45:49How dare we call it

00:45:50a saga?

00:45:51And he said

00:45:52that the Epstein files

00:45:54open quote,

00:45:55should not be part

00:45:56of anything

00:45:56going forward,

00:45:58close quote.

00:45:58Sorry, Mr. Blanche,

00:46:00that's not the law.

00:46:01The law,

00:46:02thank you,

00:46:04the Epstein Files

00:46:05Transparency Act

00:46:06says that the Department

00:46:07of Justice

00:46:07most released

00:46:08all the files

00:46:10about Jeffrey Epstein

00:46:11and his buyers.

00:46:13And we know

00:46:14there are about

00:46:15three million

00:46:16not released.

00:46:16And we will

00:46:17enforce the law.

00:46:19In collaboration

00:46:20with the survivors,

00:46:21the DWC sent

00:46:22a letter in January

00:46:23demanding an investigation

00:46:25into the Department

00:46:26of Justice's

00:46:27mishandling.

00:46:28And last week,

00:46:30the Inspector General

00:46:31said we will

00:46:33conduct an audit.

00:46:35Right?

00:46:36Yesterday,

00:46:36we solved

00:46:38the lawsuit

00:46:40saying we need

00:46:43to investigate

00:46:44why have you

00:46:45not been doing this.

00:46:46And we also know

00:46:48that me

00:46:49and different people

00:46:50around this table

00:46:51are looking

00:46:52at legislation.

00:46:54We will be

00:46:55introducing bills

00:46:56to provide

00:46:58a right to sue

00:47:00for failure

00:47:01to carry out

00:47:03the act.

00:47:05and in memory

00:47:07of your sister

00:47:09and highlighting

00:47:11her words

00:47:12in that book.

00:47:13We have

00:47:14Virginia's Law,

00:47:14which I'm so pleased

00:47:16to introduce

00:47:18with you

00:47:18and stand

00:47:20with you

00:47:20as we move

00:47:21forward

00:47:21because there

00:47:23should be

00:47:23no deadline.

00:47:26There should be

00:47:26no clock

00:47:27that rings

00:47:28and alarms

00:47:28and says,

00:47:29sorry,

00:47:30you're out of time.

00:47:31Justice should not

00:47:32have an end date.

00:47:34And in New Mexico,

00:47:35we're so proud

00:47:36of what we're doing

00:47:36in Zorro Ranch.

00:47:37We've been there

00:47:38together, right?

00:47:39Because the Truth

00:47:39Commission

00:47:40and the Attorney General

00:47:41is willing

00:47:42to investigate

00:47:43and prosecute

00:47:45as necessary.

00:47:46So,

00:47:46Mr. Blanche,

00:47:47you can do something.

00:47:49Justice can prevail,

00:47:51but only if you're

00:47:53willing to do it.

00:47:54And what we are seeing

00:47:55by the rich

00:47:56and powerful

00:47:56in this administration

00:47:57is they're not willing

00:47:58to do it

00:47:59because Trump

00:48:00and members

00:48:02of his cabinet

00:48:03are implicated.

00:48:04And we will not

00:48:05stop saying that.

00:48:07We will not

00:48:08stop working

00:48:10towards a process

00:48:11where the rich

00:48:11and powerful

00:48:12don't continue

00:48:13to say,

00:48:14you will have no voice.

00:48:16I mean,

00:48:16one of the things

00:48:17that has stuck with me

00:48:18since our very first meeting

00:48:19where together

00:48:21we cried so much

00:48:23around the table

00:48:23with the members

00:48:24of the Women's Caucus

00:48:25and he said

00:48:27that they,

00:48:28he told you,

00:48:29I have the banks

00:48:30I have the government,

00:48:32you have no voice.

00:48:35You are proving him wrong

00:48:37and we will stand by you

00:48:40because your voice

00:48:42is so powerful

00:48:43and you are absolutely correct.

00:48:47Courage is contagious.

00:48:49Muchisimas gracias

00:48:49for everything you do.

00:48:51Thank you so much.

00:48:52Thank you,

00:48:53Representative Fernandez.

00:48:54Now we will hear

00:48:55from Ms. Arisha Hatch

00:48:58who is the Executive Director

00:49:00of Ultraviolet,

00:49:01a gender justice organization.

00:49:03Thank you for your leadership.

00:49:04Thank you so much

00:49:05for having me here today.

00:49:07As was just mentioned,

00:49:08my name is Arisha Hatch

00:49:09and I'm the new Executive Director

00:49:10of Ultraviolet,

00:49:12a national women-led

00:49:13gender justice organization.

00:49:15Since Ultraviolet was founded,

00:49:17more than 28 million actions

00:49:19have been taken

00:49:20by millions of people

00:49:21demanding a response

00:49:23to the everyday sexism

00:49:25and misogyny

00:49:25that women face

00:49:27at the workplace,

00:49:28in the doctor's office,

00:49:29in our homes and online.

00:49:31Over time,

00:49:32we've built a constituency base

00:49:34of thousands of survivors

00:49:35and millions of allies

00:49:37who have worked

00:49:38to hold abusers accountable

00:49:39and create a cost for sexism.

00:49:42From Bill O'Reilly,

00:49:43R. Kelly,

00:49:44to Harvey Weinstein,

00:49:46Andrew Tate,

00:49:46and many, many others.

00:49:48In this instance,

00:49:50our members have called

00:49:51for the release

00:49:51of all Epstein files.

00:49:52We've made phone calls

00:49:54to our representatives.

00:49:55We've signed petitions.

00:49:56They've donated flowers

00:49:58to memorial services

00:50:01to support these survivors.

00:50:03I was thinking

00:50:05on the drive over today

00:50:06that while the things

00:50:08that I have had to survive

00:50:10or get over in my life

00:50:12pale in comparison

00:50:13to what these survivors

00:50:15have endured,

00:50:16I couldn't help

00:50:17but think about

00:50:18my own adolescence

00:50:19and how early

00:50:21young girls are taught

00:50:22that we must protect ourselves

00:50:24from sexual abuse.

00:50:26In high school,

00:50:27there were rumors

00:50:28of a popular R&B singer

00:50:30who liked young girls.

00:50:31He parked outside

00:50:33of local high schools

00:50:34in a neighboring school district

00:50:35next to ice cream trucks

00:50:37and school buses.

00:50:39Bootleg videos were passed around

00:50:41of his abuse

00:50:42before the internet.

00:50:43It was an open secret.

00:50:45an urban legend

00:50:46we told ourselves.

00:50:47Just girls gossip.

00:50:49It would take two decades

00:50:51to successfully prosecute him.

00:50:53I didn't have the words

00:50:55to describe it at the time,

00:50:56but before I had

00:50:58my learner's permit,

00:50:59I understood

00:51:00what a whisper network was.

00:51:02We all did.

00:51:03And we were taught

00:51:04a lot of rules

00:51:05by this whisper network.

00:51:07Don't wear that.

00:51:08Don't walk down

00:51:09that street alone.

00:51:10Don't travel alone.

00:51:11Be careful of that pastor

00:51:13or that assistant coach.

00:51:15By my first week

00:51:17of college,

00:51:18my freshman year,

00:51:19I knew what frat houses

00:51:20to avoid,

00:51:21what athletes secretly

00:51:24videotape girls

00:51:25in their dorm rooms,

00:51:27what professors to avoid.

00:51:28These whisper networks

00:51:31that we created

00:51:31were all we had

00:51:33to protect ourselves

00:51:34and our families,

00:51:35and they exist

00:51:36across every industry.

00:51:39Even in the last few weeks,

00:51:41we've learned about candidates

00:51:42and elected officials

00:51:43across parties,

00:51:44social justice movement leaders.

00:51:46We've learned about

00:51:47online rape academy networks,

00:51:50tech companies

00:51:51building and monetizing

00:51:52AI tools

00:51:53that undress women

00:51:54and children

00:51:54without any real consequence.

00:51:57The challenges before us

00:51:59are great,

00:52:00especially in this Epstein case,

00:52:03ranging from the sheer volume

00:52:05of documents released,

00:52:06the volume of names named,

00:52:09and still a continued

00:52:11lack of transparency.

00:52:13Many of us fear

00:52:14that we haven't seen

00:52:15the worst of the worst.

00:52:18The moment that we are in

00:52:21will call for a level

00:52:22of discipline and focus,

00:52:24but we demand

00:52:25that each one be investigated,

00:52:27that there is justice

00:52:28and accountability

00:52:29for the survivors,

00:52:30and that there are policies

00:52:32that would shift a culture

00:52:33that would force

00:52:34every woman and child

00:52:36to grow up in a culture

00:52:37where we are forced

00:52:39to protect ourselves.

00:52:41Thank you,

00:52:42Director Hatch.

00:52:43I appreciate your testimony.

00:52:46Now I'd like to introduce

00:52:48Representative Jayapal,

00:52:50a huge leader

00:52:51on human rights,

00:52:52women's rights,

00:52:53was the chair

00:52:53of the Progressive Caucus

00:52:54and has also played

00:52:56just an instrumental role

00:52:57in getting the Epstein files released.

00:52:59Thank you so much,

00:53:00Representative Khanna,

00:53:01for your incredible leadership

00:53:03along with Representative Massey

00:53:05on moving the Epstein Transparency Act forward

00:53:08and on all the work

00:53:10that you've been doing

00:53:10to not let it go.

00:53:12We really appreciate it.

00:53:14And also I want to say

00:53:15thank you to all of the survivors

00:53:18and relatives in the room.

00:53:20Sky and Amanda,

00:53:22thank you for bringing

00:53:23Virginia's powerful voice

00:53:24into every room that we're in.

00:53:26It matters so much.

00:53:28Danny and Charlene,

00:53:30I watch you guys on TV

00:53:31and it just makes me

00:53:33so filled with pride

00:53:34that I have to text you

00:53:35and let you know

00:53:36that I saw it

00:53:37and that it was amazing.

00:53:39Marika,

00:53:40thank you for all the work.

00:53:42Marika is a constituent of mine

00:53:43and was my guest

00:53:44at State of the Union

00:53:45and has been really powerful

00:53:48both in her own story,

00:53:50of course,

00:53:51of surviving the Epstein trauma,

00:53:54but also in helping me

00:53:56to find information in the files.

00:53:58She is like our data broker,

00:54:01data provider

00:54:01for all the things

00:54:03that are in the files.

00:54:04So I'm very, very grateful

00:54:06to all of you.

00:54:08You know,

00:54:08I think that it's difficult

00:54:10to really capture the effect

00:54:12that you all have had

00:54:14on the world

00:54:15and when we hear

00:54:16about survivors

00:54:17coming forward

00:54:18in other cases,

00:54:19including with Cesar Chavez

00:54:21and others,

00:54:22what I hear from them

00:54:24is they saw you

00:54:26and they saw many of us

00:54:28fighting for you,

00:54:29all the advocates in the room

00:54:30that have been fighting

00:54:31on this issue for decades,

00:54:32not just at this moment,

00:54:33but for decades,

00:54:35and they felt like

00:54:36there was a possibility

00:54:37for them to also get justice,

00:54:40to demand accountability,

00:54:41that they weren't alone

00:54:42in that fight.

00:54:44And so I can't tell you

00:54:45how important your work has been

00:54:47and our work collectively

00:54:49is together to continue

00:54:51to refuse to let this go.

00:54:53Probably the most powerful image

00:54:55that captures all of this

00:54:56was when we had Pam Bondi

00:55:00in the judiciary hearing

00:55:02and she had a chance

00:55:04to turn around

00:55:05and apologize to you

00:55:06and while you were standing there

00:55:08right behind her,

00:55:10she refused to do that

00:55:11and looked away,

00:55:12but you all stood tall

00:55:14and you all demanded

00:55:16that you were not going

00:55:17to be left behind

00:55:18or told to shut up

00:55:19or sit down.

00:55:20Following that,

00:55:21this isn't very public,

00:55:22but I got a call

00:55:23from then Attorney General Bondi

00:55:26and the assistant

00:55:28now acting Attorney General,

00:55:31Todd Blanche,

00:55:31and they asked me

00:55:33to come in and meet with them.

00:55:34I did with a whole list of demands.

00:55:38It was over an hour meeting

00:55:40and what I can tell you

00:55:42is I was disgusted

00:55:43by the hypocrisy

00:55:44of how they were continuing

00:55:47to cover up

00:55:48and I think I say that

00:55:50only to say

00:55:51that we still have

00:55:53an uphill battle ahead of us.

00:55:55We have a battle

00:55:56to make sure

00:55:57that this doesn't get put aside

00:55:59and we need to look

00:56:00at all the legal options.

00:56:01Very proud to be introducing

00:56:02a bill with Representative Khanna

00:56:04and others

00:56:06around a private right of action.

00:56:08Very proud to be supporting

00:56:09Virginia's law.

00:56:10All of the things

00:56:11that are in front of us.

00:56:12At the end of the day,

00:56:13this is also going

00:56:14to be a public battle.

00:56:16This is going to be a battle

00:56:18not to win the hearts

00:56:19and minds

00:56:20of the American people

00:56:21because we've already won that.

00:56:22We have won that

00:56:24and you can see it

00:56:24with the polling.

00:56:25You can see it

00:56:26with the people

00:56:27that come up to us.

00:56:28You can see it

00:56:28with the people

00:56:29who are not survivors

00:56:30but say,

00:56:30please keep fighting on this.

00:56:33But to demand accountability

00:56:35is going to be

00:56:37an uphill battle

00:56:38with this acting attorney general,

00:56:39with this administration,

00:56:41and with all of the people

00:56:42who are complicit in this.

00:56:44And so I really just want to say,

00:56:47again,

00:56:48thank you to all of you

00:56:49for not giving it up.

00:56:51It is traumatic,

00:56:51I know,

00:56:52to relive it

00:56:53over and over again.

00:56:54And I've talked to you

00:56:55about how that is

00:56:56and what it means

00:56:57to tell your story

00:56:58and to be questioned

00:56:59and to be challenged.

00:57:00And for the advocates

00:57:02who are doing this work

00:57:04every day,

00:57:05day in and day out,

00:57:06and dealing with survivors

00:57:07on so many levels

00:57:08and so many levels

00:57:10up and down

00:57:11through the institutional system

00:57:12but also across the breadth

00:57:13and depth of our society,

00:57:15it is really important

00:57:17that we continue

00:57:19to uplift your work

00:57:20to change the culture.

00:57:21This is a culture fight

00:57:23as much as anything.

00:57:24You read through

00:57:25those Epstein files,

00:57:26you see how people

00:57:27treated and talked

00:57:28about women,

00:57:30co-conspirators,

00:57:30I like to call them

00:57:31predators and pedophiles.

00:57:33You know,

00:57:34the people that enabled

00:57:35this to happen,

00:57:37we have to bring

00:57:38all of those people

00:57:39to justice.

00:57:40And so I stand ready

00:57:41to do that work with you

00:57:42and to continue

00:57:44to lift up

00:57:45all the different ways

00:57:47in which we in Congress

00:57:48have to do the work

00:57:49but also we

00:57:50as public representatives,

00:57:53elected representatives

00:57:54of constituents

00:57:55across the country

00:57:56who have been watching this

00:57:58and who are with you,

00:57:59with us on this

00:58:01that we do not let up.

00:58:02So thank you all so much

00:58:04for what you're doing.

00:58:05Thank you,

00:58:06Representative Khanna,

00:58:07for just continuing

00:58:08to refuse to back down

00:58:10and for making it bipartisan

00:58:11because guess what?

00:58:12It is bipartisan

00:58:13and it should be.

00:58:15Anyway, it should be.

00:58:16So thank you again

00:58:17for having me

00:58:17and I look forward

00:58:18to the rest of the round table.

00:58:19Thank you, Representative Jampal,

00:58:20for your words

00:58:21and your incredible leadership.

00:58:24Executive Director of Wafa,

00:58:26Executive Director

00:58:26of Rights for Girls,

00:58:28which is an organization

00:58:29standing up for young women,

00:58:30not just in the United States

00:58:32but worldwide.

00:58:33If you could share your thoughts.

00:58:34Thank you so much.

00:58:35I'm Yasmin Wafa.

00:58:36I'm the co-founder

00:58:37and Executive Director

00:58:38of Rights for Girls

00:58:39based here in Washington, D.C.

00:58:40It's a real privilege

00:58:41to be with all of you.

00:58:43Rights for Girls

00:58:43is a national organization

00:58:45and we work to defend

00:58:46the rights of young women

00:58:47and girls actually here

00:58:48in the United States.

00:58:49We're probably best known

00:58:51for our work

00:58:52to dismantle

00:58:53the abuse to prison pipeline.

00:58:54We work at the intersections

00:58:56of race, gender,

00:58:57violence and criminalization.

00:58:59We are mostly concerned

00:59:01with the unjust criminalization

00:59:03of survivors of sexual violence

00:59:05and particularly survivors

00:59:07of sexual exploitation,

00:59:09prostitution and trafficking.

00:59:10And what we mostly talk about

00:59:13is the fact

00:59:14that so many survivors

00:59:15of sexual violence

00:59:17and sexual exploitation

00:59:18are unjustly criminalized

00:59:20for their exploitation

00:59:21and their victimization

00:59:22while too often

00:59:24their exploiters,

00:59:25their abusers,

00:59:26enjoy impunity and anonymity

00:59:29and particularly

00:59:29the subject of today's conversation

00:59:31that includes sex buyers

00:59:33or what many survivors

00:59:35we work with

00:59:35call commercial sex offenders.

00:59:37and so we have talked

00:59:39at length about this issue

00:59:40and I'm so glad

00:59:41it's come up

00:59:42multiple times today

00:59:43but we have shared

00:59:45this report

00:59:46with many of you here today.

00:59:47We published this report

00:59:48at the behest

00:59:49of many of the survivors

00:59:50that we have worked with

00:59:52who are survivors

00:59:53of not just child sex trafficking,

00:59:55sex trafficking,

00:59:56but also survivors

00:59:57of prostitution.

00:59:58It's called

00:59:58Buyers Unmasked.

00:59:59I'll share copies

01:00:00with the representatives

01:00:01here today

01:00:02but this report

01:00:03looks at conversations

01:00:05that sex buyers

01:00:06are having online

01:00:08on what are known

01:00:08as hobby boards

01:00:09or for those

01:00:10who are not familiar

01:00:11this is like Yelp

01:00:12for prostitution

01:00:13where sex buyers

01:00:14go online

01:00:15and they candidly

01:00:16talk about

01:00:17the individuals

01:00:17that they purchase

01:00:18for sex acts

01:00:19much like you would rate

01:00:20a meal that you had

01:00:21at a restaurant

01:00:22and they very candidly

01:00:24talk about them

01:00:25in terms of their

01:00:26racialized fetishes.

01:00:27They talk about

01:00:28young individuals

01:00:30again no regard

01:00:31for the fact

01:00:33that these individuals

01:00:34are often coerced

01:00:35and on the whole

01:00:37we found that

01:00:37they are undisturbed

01:00:39and completely disregard

01:00:42the fact that

01:00:42there are very overt

01:00:43signs of coercion,

01:00:45violence,

01:00:46and desperation

01:00:46in the people

01:00:47that they're purchasing

01:00:48for sexual gratification

01:00:49and so this report

01:00:51looks at all regions

01:00:52of the United States

01:00:54including the West Coast,

01:00:55Southern United States

01:00:56and finds that

01:00:57misogyny

01:00:58and these misogynistic

01:00:59attitudes are largely

01:01:00interchangeable.

01:01:01Some of the quotes

01:01:02again completely unedited

01:01:04talk about how

01:01:05you know one of the buyers

01:01:07goes online

01:01:08and is very excited

01:01:10because the ad said

01:01:11the person was 24

01:01:12finds that the person

01:01:14is in fact barely 18

01:01:15he's really excited

01:01:17that she has braces

01:01:19and then you know

01:01:20towards the bottom

01:01:21of the ad

01:01:21after going into

01:01:22disgusting detail

01:01:23about you know

01:01:24the physical characteristics

01:01:25of this individual

01:01:26says but she hasn't

01:01:27been doing this long

01:01:28enough to know

01:01:29to check the room

01:01:29for cameras.

01:01:31Several of them

01:01:32go into other types

01:01:33of very graphic details

01:01:34about you know

01:01:35native women

01:01:37you know black

01:01:38quote unquote

01:01:38providers is what

01:01:40the dehumanizing language

01:01:41that they use

01:01:42and again largely echoes

01:01:43the Epstein files

01:01:44and you know

01:01:45to Danny's point

01:01:47this is not an anomaly

01:01:48these are not unique

01:01:50a lot of individuals

01:01:51who have reviewed

01:01:52the files say

01:01:53are shocked

01:01:54by what they're finding

01:01:55but for those of us

01:01:56who work on these issues

01:01:57unfortunately it's not shocking

01:01:58it's very consistent

01:02:00with what we're hearing

01:02:01from survivors

01:02:02and frankly

01:02:03the global sex trade

01:02:04exists because

01:02:05there's a steady

01:02:05lucrative demand

01:02:07that is provided

01:02:08by predominantly men

01:02:10all across the U.S.

01:02:11and globally

01:02:12and that's what

01:02:13Jeffrey Epstein

01:02:14understood

01:02:14and it's what

01:02:16traffickers

01:02:17operating massage parlors

01:02:18and every community

01:02:19understand

01:02:19it's what online recruiters

01:02:21understand

01:02:23and it's what

01:02:24organized criminal networks

01:02:25moving women

01:02:26across borders

01:02:26understand

01:02:27the setting changes

01:02:28but the logic does not

01:02:30another truth

01:02:31that we're not really

01:02:32willing to confront

01:02:33is that many of the

01:02:34child sex trafficking victims

01:02:35don't simply escape

01:02:37exploitation

01:02:38they ultimately

01:02:39oftentimes become

01:02:40the adults

01:02:41in the commercial sex trade

01:02:43the same people

01:02:44that we're told

01:02:45chose it

01:02:46or worse

01:02:47are empowered by it

01:02:48but the reality is

01:02:50that there are

01:02:51really startling statistics

01:02:54like over 92%

01:02:56of women in the sex trade

01:02:57report being shot

01:02:58raped

01:02:58strangled

01:02:59beaten

01:02:59burned

01:03:00stabbed

01:03:00or punched

01:03:01with most of that violence

01:03:03being committed

01:03:03by sex buyers

01:03:04the mortality rate

01:03:07of women in prostitution

01:03:08is 200 times that

01:03:10of the general population

01:03:1168% suffer PTSD

01:03:14as severe

01:03:14as levels suffered

01:03:15by combat veterans

01:03:16and 61% suffer

01:03:19traumatic brain injuries

01:03:20from having their heads

01:03:21slammed against walls

01:03:22and car doors

01:03:23so this is a very violent

01:03:24and degrading industry

01:03:26and one that we hear

01:03:27from survivors

01:03:28about constantly

01:03:29and people are subject

01:03:31to long-term

01:03:32physical and psychological harms

01:03:34and so in terms

01:03:35of the gaps

01:03:36we have legislated

01:03:37many federal laws

01:03:39but in terms of

01:03:40implementation gaps

01:03:41we are still struggling

01:03:43with implementing

01:03:44demand reduction

01:03:45that is the one

01:03:46single most difficulty

01:03:48we still have

01:03:49we have laws

01:03:50on the books

01:03:51but there's a culture

01:03:53of impunity

01:03:53it's deeply entrenched

01:03:55and it has to do

01:03:56with holding buyers

01:03:57accountable

01:03:58at the federal level

01:03:59at the state level

01:04:00at the local level

01:04:01for all of the reasons

01:04:03that we know

01:04:03and to Dahlia's point

01:04:04to Danny's point

01:04:05it's because of who these

01:04:07again predominantly men

01:04:09tend to be

01:04:10but we cannot be serious

01:04:12about the Epstein files

01:04:14holding these individuals

01:04:15accountable

01:04:16without understanding

01:04:17this entrenched culture

01:04:19of impunity

01:04:19around male demand

01:04:21for paid sex

01:04:22and that all of these issues

01:04:23are intricately tied

01:04:25thank you

01:04:26thank you Executive Director Waffa

01:04:28and we keep hearing

01:04:29the need for a demand reduction

01:04:31from many of our speakers

01:04:32we have three more

01:04:34incredible speakers

01:04:36and then we're going to give

01:04:36Marika the last word

01:04:38I know we had originally

01:04:39wanted time for discussion

01:04:41we could probably have

01:04:41discussion for hours

01:04:43but originally when

01:04:46Sky Amanda and I

01:04:47thought of doing this

01:04:48it was because King Charles

01:04:49had denied their request

01:04:50and the survivors

01:04:52request for meeting

01:04:52and the main thing

01:04:53was to make sure

01:04:54on the day that he's

01:04:55addressing Congress

01:04:56that the survivors

01:04:58are uplifted

01:04:59that these incredible

01:05:00advocates are uplifted

01:05:01and I'm so honored

01:05:02that we've had some

01:05:02of the most influential

01:05:04members of Congress

01:05:05working on this issue

01:05:06not just Epstein

01:05:07but for years

01:05:08showing up

01:05:09so we'll hear

01:05:10from our speakers

01:05:11and then my hope

01:05:11is this is just

01:05:12the beginning

01:05:12of a conversation

01:05:13and it will continue

01:05:15with many of the lawmakers

01:05:16groups and survivors here

01:05:18with that

01:05:19let me turn to

01:05:21Representative Ayanna Pressley

01:05:22who everyone knows

01:05:24has just been

01:05:25such a bold voice

01:05:27for survivors

01:05:28her entire career

01:05:29and has stood

01:05:31with Epstein survivors

01:05:32thank you for being here

01:05:33thank you Ro

01:05:34for this essential

01:05:36and powerful convening

01:05:40I was supposed

01:05:40to be in committee

01:05:41so I actually

01:05:42had a scheduled conflict

01:05:43but I left to be here

01:05:46I don't have prepared remarks

01:05:47so we'll see how this goes

01:05:52I've been in Congress

01:05:53now for eight years

01:05:53but prior to my election

01:05:55to Congress

01:05:55I served on the Boston

01:05:56City Council

01:05:57for eight years

01:05:58first black woman

01:05:59elected to that body

01:06:00and I ran on a platform

01:06:04though it's really

01:06:04my heart's work

01:06:05to save women and girls

01:06:07and to champion

01:06:08gender specific

01:06:09and responsive programming

01:06:10and policies in government

01:06:12and there were naysayers

01:06:14who said to me

01:06:15that that was not

01:06:15the work of government

01:06:16that I should go

01:06:17run a non-profit

01:06:20but each of you

01:06:21affirmed that it is

01:06:22in fact

01:06:22it is the work of government

01:06:24it is the responsibility

01:06:26of government

01:06:26and I remember

01:06:28so many people

01:06:28saying to me

01:06:29you're fighting

01:06:31for the girls

01:07:02said he needed that

01:07:03as proof that she was not

01:07:04stealing anything

01:07:06and she went every day

01:07:07and cleaned that home

01:07:08and stripped

01:07:10the other is

01:09:05sexual assault

01:09:06domestic violence

01:09:07sexual abuse

01:09:09sex trafficking

01:09:11I can no longer

01:09:13accept that we don't have

01:09:14an equal rights amendment

01:09:15in our constitution

01:09:20that we have been

01:09:21relegated to

01:09:22a second class

01:09:23or invisible status

01:09:25overwhelmingly

01:09:26as women

01:09:26and certainly

01:09:27as survivors

01:09:31nothing changes

01:09:32if nothing changes

01:09:35so I just

01:09:36I thank all of you

01:09:38that the change

01:09:39is on the way

01:09:41to a day

01:09:42where we can all

01:09:42not just wear butterflies

01:09:46that spirit of feeling

01:09:48totally and completely free

01:09:50free from the shame

01:09:51free from the

01:09:53the burden of it all

01:09:56because

01:09:56what has happened

01:09:58to our survivors

01:09:59around the table

01:10:00was a violation

01:10:01of dignity

01:10:02it was a violation

01:10:03of bodies

01:10:04it was a violation

01:10:05of dreams

01:10:07you see

01:10:07before you've grown

01:10:08women

01:10:09so you might forget

01:10:10that they were mere

01:10:10children

01:10:11and I can think

01:10:12of nothing more vile

01:10:13than to groom

01:10:15to prey upon

01:10:16to exploit

01:10:17to rape

01:10:18to traffic

01:10:25as we hold

01:10:27accountable

01:10:29the vermin

01:10:30who committed

01:10:31these vile acts

01:10:32and left survivors

01:10:34with a lifetime sentence

01:10:36to navigate

01:10:37whether they are

01:10:39pastors

01:10:39presidents

01:10:40or princes

01:10:40a reckoning

01:10:53president Lundstrom

01:10:54is the CEO

01:10:54of the Polaris

01:10:56Project

01:10:56which really works

01:10:58on human trafficking

01:11:00thank you for being here

01:11:01thank you representative

01:11:02for having me here today

01:11:05it is an honor

01:11:06to be alongside you all

01:11:07Claris works

01:11:09at the systems level

01:11:10to strengthen

01:11:10the United States

01:11:12how the United States

01:11:13responds to

01:11:14and prevents

01:11:15human trafficking

01:11:16starting with

01:11:17listening to survivors

01:11:19at the local level

01:11:20we build and steward

01:11:21one of the most

01:11:22comprehensive data sets

01:11:23on trafficking

01:11:24in the United States

01:11:26and we use that

01:11:27to inform how systems

01:11:28and stakeholders

01:11:29can more effectively

01:11:31operate together

01:11:32and while I currently

01:11:34hold the professional title

01:11:35of CEO

01:11:36I first came into this work

01:11:37over a decade ago

01:11:38as a survivor

01:11:40of trafficking myself

01:11:41like many survivors

01:11:43I navigated systems

01:11:44where parts of my situation

01:11:46were visible

01:11:47to various stakeholders

01:11:48but no one could see

01:11:50the complete reality

01:11:51that I was living through

01:11:53and that experience

01:11:54of not being fully seen

01:11:56is something that

01:11:56we're hearing today

01:11:57from the survivors

01:11:59in the room

01:12:00and it's also something

01:12:01that we see

01:12:03consistently

01:12:03across the country

01:12:05so I'll add some

01:12:06numbers to that

01:12:07in 2024

01:12:08alone

01:12:10Polaris

01:12:11sent 176

01:12:13tips

01:12:14to law enforcement

01:12:15in Mississippi

01:12:15alone

01:12:16and yet

01:12:18over the last

01:12:1922 years

01:12:20Mississippi

01:12:21has only had

01:12:2212 federally

01:12:23prosecuted

01:12:24human trafficking

01:12:25cases

01:12:29the most

01:12:30significant challenge

01:12:31in anti-trafficking

01:12:32efforts

01:12:32that Polaris

01:12:33is working

01:12:34to address

01:12:35currently

01:12:35is to build

01:12:37infrastructure

01:12:37that strengthens

01:12:38both visibility

01:12:39and accountability

01:12:41legislation

01:12:42like the National

01:12:43Human Trafficking

01:12:44Database Act

01:12:45has the potential

01:12:46to support

01:12:48pattern identification

01:12:49system coordination

01:12:51and responses

01:12:52that are grounded

01:12:52in a complete

01:12:53and accurate picture

01:12:54ultimately

01:12:56the goal is not

01:12:57to just respond

01:12:58to human trafficking

01:12:59but to transform

01:13:00systems

01:13:01where harm

01:13:02is harder

01:13:02to ignore

01:13:03and people

01:13:04are seen

01:13:04and can have

01:13:05full agency

01:13:06over our lives

01:13:07thank you

01:13:08thank you so much

01:13:09for those statistics

01:13:12and your testimony

01:13:13we will now

01:13:15hear from

01:13:21safety and equality

01:13:22in the modeling

01:13:23industry

01:13:24and creative fields

01:13:25founder Zip

01:13:26if you would

01:13:27thank you

01:13:28Congressman Kanna

01:13:30hello everyone

01:13:31I'm Sarah Zip

01:13:32I'm the founder

01:13:33and executive director

01:13:34of the Model Alliance

01:13:35a non-profit

01:13:36advocating for the

01:13:37fair treatment

01:13:37of fashion workers

01:13:38I'm here on behalf

01:13:40of 40 survivors

01:13:41including Charlene

01:13:43and Marika

01:13:44who signed a letter

01:13:46the Model Alliance

01:13:46recently sent

01:13:47to Congressman Kanna

01:13:48calling for an

01:13:49investigation

01:13:50into the ties

01:13:51between the modeling

01:13:52industry

01:13:52and Jeffrey Epstein

01:13:54as a teenage model

01:13:55I ended up

01:13:57sitting next to

01:13:57Jeffrey Epstein

01:13:58at his pool

01:14:00in Florida

01:14:01the trip that brought

01:14:03me to Florida

01:14:04was a shoot

01:14:05orchestrated

01:14:06by my modeling

01:14:07agency

01:14:07next

01:14:08knowing what I do

01:14:10now

01:14:10I doubt

01:14:11that was a coincidence

01:14:13I wasn't abused

01:14:14by Epstein

01:14:15but I couldn't

01:14:16escape the system

01:14:17built to send

01:14:18models

01:14:19sometimes girls

01:14:20as young as 14

01:14:20years old

01:14:21directly to predators

01:14:23like Epstein

01:14:24Harvey Weinstein

01:14:26and his associate

01:14:27Fabrizio Lombardo

01:14:28who when I was 19

01:14:29raped me

01:14:30after a meeting

01:14:32that my agent

01:14:33arranged

01:14:34the reason

01:14:36predators

01:14:36are routinely

01:14:38linked

01:14:38to underage

01:14:39models

01:14:39is because

01:14:41their modeling

01:14:41agencies

01:14:42served as

01:14:43that link

01:14:45Epstein

01:14:46had deep

01:14:47ties

01:14:47to Nex

01:14:48co-founder

01:14:49Faith Cates

01:14:50this is the woman

01:14:51who was in charge

01:14:52of my working

01:14:52life from the age

01:14:53of 14

01:14:54he offered

01:14:56her multi-million

01:14:57dollar loans

01:14:58to buy

01:14:59an apartment

01:15:00and a stake

01:15:00in Nex

01:15:01in return

01:15:02she offered

01:15:03him

01:15:04quote

01:15:04unconditional

01:15:05friendship

01:15:05and access

01:15:06to young

01:15:07models

01:15:09Parisian agent

01:15:10Jean-Luc Brunel

01:15:11trafficked over

01:15:121,000 young

01:15:13women and girls

01:15:14to Epstein

01:15:14who gave Brunel

01:15:16a million dollars

01:15:17for his

01:15:18MC squared

01:15:19modeling agency

01:15:20Epstein also

01:15:22appears to have

01:15:22paid for models

01:15:23visas

01:15:24at one

01:15:25model management

01:15:27modeling

01:15:28is seen

01:15:28as a glamorous

01:15:29industry

01:15:29in reality

01:15:31young models

01:15:32are uniquely

01:15:32vulnerable

01:15:33to agencies

01:15:34that are often

01:15:35their visa sponsor

01:15:36landlord

01:15:37power of attorney

01:15:39and gatekeeper

01:15:40to opportunity

01:15:41that power imbalance

01:15:43leaves models

01:15:45blind to the extortion

01:15:46and trafficking

01:15:47sending them directly

01:15:49into the arms

01:15:49of known rapists

01:15:50this is systemic

01:15:53if we are looking

01:15:55for a concrete

01:15:56way

01:15:56to address

01:15:58trafficking

01:15:58and sexual assault

01:16:00there's no better

01:16:01place to start

01:16:02than the

01:16:032.5 trillion

01:16:04dollar global

01:16:05industry

01:16:05that acted

01:16:06as a referral

01:16:07pipeline

01:16:08for predators

01:16:09regulations

01:16:10like those

01:16:11in the fashion

01:16:12workers act

01:16:13which the model

01:16:13alliance

01:16:14championed

01:16:15in New York

01:16:15are a critical

01:16:17advancement

01:16:17but to honor

01:16:19survivors

01:16:19and protect

01:16:20the next generation

01:16:21we must also

01:16:22uncover the true

01:16:23extent of these

01:16:25recruitment schemes

01:16:26and the ties

01:16:27between the industry

01:16:28Epstein

01:16:29and the powerful

01:16:31people he was

01:16:31connected to

01:16:32to do that

01:16:34we need the

01:16:34immediate

01:16:35and thorough

01:16:36investigation

01:16:36by the oversight

01:17:43of thousands

01:17:43of girls

01:17:44and women

01:17:49the files

01:19:22so

01:19:22it's certainly

01:19:23not the last time

01:19:24but

01:19:24there's no more

01:19:25fitting way

01:19:25to end this

01:19:27than just the words

01:19:28of Virginia herself

01:19:29so I'm going to read

01:19:30page 366

01:19:33nobody's girl

01:19:36if you've read this far

01:19:37I hope my story

01:19:38has moved you

01:19:39to seek ways

01:19:40to free yourself

01:19:41from a bad situation

01:19:42say

01:19:43to stand up

01:19:44for someone else

01:19:45in need

01:19:45or to simply reframe

01:19:46how you judge

01:19:47victims of sexual abuse

01:19:48each one of us

01:19:50can make positive change

01:19:51I truly believe that

01:19:52I hope for a world

01:19:54in which predators

01:19:55are punished

01:19:56not protected

01:19:58victims are treated

01:19:59with compassion

01:19:59not shamed

01:20:00and powerful people

01:20:02face the same

01:20:03consequences

01:20:04as anyone else

01:20:06I yearn too

01:20:07for a world

01:20:07in which perpetrators

01:20:08face more shame

01:20:09than their victims do

01:20:11and where anyone

01:20:12who's been trafficked

01:20:13can confront

01:20:14their abusers

01:20:14when they are ready

01:20:15no matter

01:20:18how much time

01:20:19has passed

01:20:21we don't live

01:20:22in this world yet

01:20:22I mean seriously

01:20:24where are those

01:20:25videotapes

01:20:26the FBI confiscated

01:20:27from Epstein's houses

01:20:28and why haven't

01:20:30they led to the

01:20:30prosecution

01:20:31of any more abusers

01:20:33but I believe

01:20:34we could

01:20:35someday

01:20:37imagining it

01:20:37is the first step

01:20:38in my mind

01:20:39hold a picture

01:20:40of a girl

01:20:41reaching out

01:20:42for help

01:20:42and easily

01:20:43finding it

01:20:45I picture a woman

01:20:46too

01:20:46who having

01:20:48come to terms

01:20:48with her childhood

01:20:49pain

01:20:49feels that

01:20:50it's within her power

01:20:51to take action

01:20:52against those

01:20:53who's hurt her

01:20:54if this book

01:20:56moves us

01:20:57even an inch

01:20:58closer

01:20:58to the reality

01:20:59like that

01:21:00if it helps
