00:00Our voices are real. Our pain is real. And our demand for justice will not be silenced.
00:09This is me. This was me. My name is Charlene Rochard, and I stand before you today not as a
00:21victim of rumor or conspiracy, but as a survivor of Jeffrey Epstein's abuse.
00:30Far too long, survivors like me have been dismissed, silenced, are told that our pain
00:38was exaggerated or fabricated. Let me be clear. This is not a hoax. What we endured was real,
00:52and it has scarred lives across five presidential administrations.
01:01The truth has been buried in sealed files and hidden records for far too long.
01:07The Epstein Files Transparency Act is not just about survivors. It's about America itself.
01:19How can we keep America great if the principles the nation was founded on, that power belongs to the
01:27people, is not protected? No one, no matter how wealthy and well-connected, stands above the law.
01:36If we cannot face the truth, then we betray the very ideals that defines us as a country.
01:44By passing this act, Congress has the chance to prove that truth matters more than privilege,
01:50that justice matters more than influence, and that America has the courage to confront
01:58even the most uncomfortable realities.
02:04This is not just about survivors. It's about every American who believes in accountability,
02:12fairness, and the promise of justice.
02:17I stand here today not only for myself, but for every survivor of Jeffrey Epstein's abuse,
02:24who has carried this burden in silence, and for every citizen who believes that justice delayed is justice denied.
02:37I want to thank Representatives Ro Khanna and Thomas Massey for standing with us. Thank you.
02:44And I especially want to thank Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene.
02:54Her unwavering support, her courage to stand with us, and demand transparency gives us strength.
03:05It shows that this fight for accountability is bigger than politics.
03:10It's about humanity, justice, and truth.
03:16This is about America's future.
03:20It's about whether we, the people, will be heard when we have the courage to stand for truth and justice.
03:28Our voices are real, our pain is real, and our demand for justice will not be silenced.
