1 The fact that he felt entitled to take away my
2 innocence, the fact that he felt that he could do whatever he
3 wanted, regardless of the laws, hurts me so very much. It took
4 me years to tell anyone what Epstein did to me because I was so
5 ashamed and embarrassed at what people would say or think of me
6 until I found out there were other victims, girls just like me.
7 I knew I could no longer keep my silence no matter how ruthless
8 and powerful Epstein was, and still is even after his death.
9 The fact I will never have a chance to face my
10 predator in court eats away at my soul. Even in death, Epstein
11 is trying to hurt me. I had hoped to at last get an apology,
12 but this evil man had no remorse or caring for what he did to
13 anyone. I felt let down by the people who were supposed to
14 watch him in prison. They let this man kill himself and kill
15 the chance of justice for so many others in the process, taking
16 away our ability to speak.
17 Out of all the damages and side effects that Epstein
18 caused by his heartless and selfish acts, it's very hard to put
19 my feelings and emotions into words, trying to let his
20 horrendous actions go and attempting to forgive him, has been
21 so difficult for me. Yet, as hard as it's been to come so
22 publicly forward, I refuse to let Epstein take me as a victim
23 anymore.
24 I am a survivor. The many that stand before me here
25 today that have shared the horrific experiences with this
2 innocence, the fact that he felt that he could do whatever he
3 wanted, regardless of the laws, hurts me so very much. It took
4 me years to tell anyone what Epstein did to me because I was so
5 ashamed and embarrassed at what people would say or think of me
