Jennifer Araoz, one of deceased financier Jeffrey Epstein’s alleged victims, speaks to journalists in New York.
Epstein, 66, hung himself in his New York prison cell earlier this month while awaiting trial on charges he trafficked young women for sex, depriving alleged victims of their day in court. The women hugged and consoled each after returning from the podium where they addressed the Manhattan federal court, some reading from statements others going without.
“I was his slave. I felt powerless and ashamed,” she said, adding that Epstein had threatened to kill her if she wasn’t a virgin.The majority of those who spoke expressed their outrage at Epstein’s suicide on August 10. Several of the accusers said they were recruited by Epstein’s former lover, the British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell, daughter of late British media baron Robert Maxwell.“Please, please, please finish what you started. US victims are prepared to tell the truth. He did not act alone,” Sarah Ransome, told the court, saying Epstein ran an “international sex trafficking ring.”
“He knows exactly what he’s done and I hope he comes clean about it,” she told reporters after the hearing.Epstein, who befriended many celebrities and politicians over the years, including Donald Trump and Bill Clinton, was arrested in July and charged with trafficking girls as young as 14 for sex.Epstein was previously convicted in 2008 in a Florida state court for paying young girls for sexual massages.Judge Richard Berman described Epstein’s suicide as a “stunning turn of events.
