Epstein victims react to release of files, but criticize lack of information
Some of Epstein's victims were satisfied with the release of the files, although they acknowledge that more data is needed
Some of Jeffrey Epstein's victims reacted to the Department of Justice's release of thousands of files from the case investigation, but questioned the lack of more data and information they consider key.
“There is a lot of information, but not as much as we would have liked to see,” said Dani Bensky, a survivor of Epstein, in an interview with NBC News.
They regret the suffering of other victims
The woman added that, despite this, the disclosure confirms the veracity of the victims' allegations.
“There's a part of me that feels a little validated right now, because I think a lot of us have been saying, 'No, this is real, we're not a hoax,'” Bensky said.
EFE presented the testimony of another survivor, Maria Farmer, who praised the release of her FBI child pornography complaint included in the files and expressed feeling “redeemed” by the recognition of her case.
“This is incredible. Thank you for believing me. I feel redeemed. This is one of the best days of my life,” she declared through her lawyers.
Farmer regretted that other victims, such as Virginia Giuffre, have suffered because the FBI “didn't do her job.”
More will be released
The woman also added that she She cried tears of joy for her own situation as well as tears of sadness for the other victims whom the federal investigation failed to help.
