Survivors of Jeffrey Epstein's abuse gather at the US Capitol to seek justice and release of more investigative files. They begin compiling a confidential list of associates involved.

At a recent rally at the US Capitol, victims of Jeffrey Epstein voiced their experiences of sexual abuse and called for the release of documents related to their cases. Lisa Phillips, one of the survivors, announced the compilation of a confidential list of Epstein's associates who may have played a role in the abuse. The event aimed to bring attention to the ongoing lack of transparency in the Epstein investigations, highlighting the fear of repercussions among other victims. Lawmakers are also pushing for the full disclosure of relevant files from the investigation.

Victims of Jeffrey Epstein have shared emotional accounts of sexual abuse as they called for lawmakers to release more files about the convicted sex offender on the steps of the US Capitol.

One of the women, Lisa Phillips, said the group had begun compiling a confidential list of Epstein associates who they say were involved in abuse.

We will confidentially compile the names we all know were regularly in the Epstein world, she said. It will be done by survivors, and for survivors.

The event was organised by US lawmakers who are calling for more files from the Epstein investigation to be released publicly.

During the two-hour news conference on Wednesday, nine female Epstein accusers detailed their experiences and abuse at the hands of the disgraced financier. Ms. Phillips urged the US Department of Justice (DoJ) to release all documents and information from the investigation, expressing that many victims were afraid of repercussions if they went public with names themselves.

A lawyer for the accusers mentioned that they feared being sued or attacked because nobody protected them the first time. Marina Lacerda, speaking publicly for the first time, outlined her own experiences working for Epstein from the age of 14 until she was deemed too old at 17.

I was one of dozens of girls that were forced into Jeffrey's mansion... in New York City when we were just kids, she said. It went from a dream job to the worst nightmare.

Liz Stein, a survivor who has taken legal action against Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell, emphasized the importance of humanizing survivors and addressing the crime of sex trafficking, which she stated is often politicized due to the individuals involved.

Annie Farmer and Chauntae Davies also spoke at the rally, sharing their experiences of abuse and the troubling connections between Epstein, his associates, and prominent figures such as Donald Trump. While Trump distanced himself from Epstein, saying they fell out over business, survivors argue the need for accountability.

As the rally concluded, calls continued for the full release of investigative documents, as another push from lawmakers gathered traction.
