A group of six women who claim to have been victims of sex
trafficking at the hands of financier Jeffrey Epstein and his closest
associate, Ghislaine Maxwell, joined forces this Tuesday to launch a joint
appeal to the federal government. Their main request: the release of more
documents related to the investigation and the outright rejection of any
possibility of a presidential pardon for Maxwell.
The demand, which seeks to break the silence and keep the
case under scrutiny, was accompanied by a direct message to Donald Trump,
urging him not to intervene on Maxwell's behalf. The women maintain that
transparency is essential not only to clarify responsibility, but also to take
a step toward justice, which, in their opinion, has been denied for too long.
The event, held in Washington, D.C., was covered by NBC News
and brought together the accusers on a panel that also included family members
of Virginia Roberts Giuffre. She was one of Epstein's most visible defendants
and, over time, became a symbol of the fight against sexual exploitation
networks that rely on political and economic power. Giuffre's death in April
added solemnity to the meeting.
During the conference, the participants were careful not to
endorse speculation about alleged misconduct by Trump in relation to Epstein or
the victims. Instead, they insisted on maintaining the focus on what they
consider urgent: the release of more official files that would allow us to
gauge the magnitude of the abuse, as well as the identification of figures who,
by action or inaction, may have protected the tycoon or his close circle.
The appearance also sought to send a broader message: that
the fight against sex trafficking and the exploitation of minors transcends
individual names and must become a national priority. For the women, the
publication of the sealed documents would be a way to open a door to the truth
and, at the same time, a recognition of the seriousness of the violence they
suffered.
