For at least 23 women who accused Jeffrey Epstein of sexual abuse, speaking out or having their identities exposed in the Justice Department’s Epstein files has brought a new trauma: threats, harassment and intimidation.
Four of Epstein's accusers told Reuters that they reported threats to police, but that didn’t lead to prosecutions because authorities couldn’t identify suspects or determine whether a crime had occurred, according to the women and police records. One case remains under active investigation, police said. Other women said they chose not to contact law enforcement, citing distrust rooted in what they saw as past failures to act on their abuse claims. |
