Jeffrey Epstein Accusers Speak Out at NYC Hearing

Nearly two dozen of Jeffrey Epstein’s accusers have taken a judge up on his unusual invitation to speak at a federal hearing following prosecutors’ motion to drop the case against the financier, who killed himself in his Manhattan prison cell while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges. The women, including one pushing a child in a stroller, arrived with their respective lawyers ahead of Tuesday’s hearing. In total, 23 women testified against Epstein — 12 of whom testified as Jane Does. During the hearing, Courtney Wild, who said she was sexually abused by Epstein in Florida when she was 14, was one of the first victims to testify — saying that Epstein sexually abused her for years.
