00:17.726 --> 00:20.729
[lawyer 1] We're back
on the video record at 12:02 p.m.

00:21.730 --> 00:26.401
[Brad Edwards] Let's talk about
Jane Doe 102, Virginia Roberts.

00:26.818 --> 00:28.778
Do you know Virginia Roberts?

00:32.282 --> 00:35.118
-So she's... Say again, who?
-[Edwards] Virginia Roberts.

00:35.910 --> 00:36.786
Can you spell it?

00:38.121 --> 00:40.540
[Edwards] Common spelling,
Virginia, like the state.

00:40.623 --> 00:43.334
-Can you spell it for me, please?
-[Edwards] Roberts.

00:43.418 --> 00:45.545
How is it... What's the last name?
How is it spelled?

00:47.005 --> 00:49.883
[Edwards] R-O-B-E-R-T-S, I believe.

00:50.884 --> 00:53.344
Isn't it true that you
and Ghislaine Maxwell

00:53.845 --> 00:59.768
celebrated her 16th birthday with her
and had sex with her on that day?

00:59.934 --> 01:01.102
[lawyer 2] Form, compound,

01:01.519 --> 01:03.480
confusing, argumentative and harassing.

01:06.107 --> 01:07.734
I'd like to answer that question.

01:08.526 --> 01:13.031
But today I'm gonna have to assert
my Sixth Amendment rights,

01:13.114 --> 01:14.532
my Fifth Amendment rights.

01:15.366 --> 01:18.536
[Edwards] Is it true
that you forced Virginia Roberts

01:18.620 --> 01:20.872
to have
sex with numerous friends of yours?

01:21.247 --> 01:22.123
Are you kidding?

02:10.088 --> 02:12.298
[Giuffre] The first time
I decided to go public,

02:12.382 --> 02:15.969
it was because I gave birth
to this beautiful baby girl.

02:22.892 --> 02:26.896
It kind of made me realize
what I had been through

02:27.438 --> 02:30.066
was still happening to other people
out there.

02:30.233 --> 02:31.359
It wasn't just me.

02:31.442 --> 02:33.444
And I looked at my husband,
and I said, "Robbie,

02:34.237 --> 02:36.281
we can't just sit by
and be silent anymore.

02:36.364 --> 02:38.241
We've got to do something about it."

02:40.618 --> 02:43.872
I was sexually abused by Prince Andrew.

02:45.540 --> 02:49.752
Someone had to put their hand up and say,
like, "He can't just get away with this."

02:49.836 --> 02:52.338
[suspenseful music]

03:06.978 --> 03:08.938
[Giuffre] I first met Prince Andrew

03:09.397 --> 03:11.399
March 10th, 2001,

03:11.900 --> 03:14.319
in London at Ghislaine's townhouse.

03:16.446 --> 03:19.824
He knocked on the door,
he came inside Ghislaine's townhouse,

03:19.908 --> 03:21.576
and we're sitting there having tea.

03:23.077 --> 03:25.955
Ghislaine has this favorite guessing game
that she does.

03:26.831 --> 03:30.335
She goes to Prince Andrew,
"How old do you think Virginia is?"

03:30.418 --> 03:32.503
And he said, "Seventeen."

03:32.962 --> 03:34.839
And she's like, "Oh, you're right!"

03:34.923 --> 03:37.216
And, you know,
they, like, made a little joke about it.

03:37.300 --> 03:39.802
He's like, "My daughters
aren't far from your age.

03:39.886 --> 03:41.512
My daughters are a bit younger than you.

03:43.932 --> 03:45.183
We went out for the night.

03:46.434 --> 03:48.061
Club Tramp in London.

03:48.144 --> 03:50.563
[electronic music playing]

03:50.647 --> 03:54.525
And he dances, and he's profusely sweating
over me, and it was disgusting.

03:55.443 --> 03:59.364
We get back to the townhouse,
and we go upstairs.

03:59.447 --> 04:01.866
I have this little yellow Kodak camera,

04:01.950 --> 04:05.578
and, um... I ask Jeffrey to take a photo

04:06.037 --> 04:08.414
of me and Prince Andrew together.

04:08.498 --> 04:09.540
[camera shutter clicking]

04:10.792 --> 04:13.544
[Giuffre] And Ghislaine's literally
just, like, right behind me.

04:14.128 --> 04:15.296
Ghislaine tells me...

04:16.547 --> 04:19.550
"You're going to have to do for him
what you do for Jeffrey."

04:21.177 --> 04:22.679
[voice breaking] And it hit me.

04:24.847 --> 04:26.849
And right after that photo was taken,

04:26.933 --> 04:32.021
I was sexually abused by Prince Andrew
for the first time.

04:47.495 --> 04:50.748
[reporter] A former prostitute claims
she was just 17

04:50.832 --> 04:53.835
when she allegedly had sexual relations
with Prince Andrew.

04:54.669 --> 04:57.672
[Giuffre] I've been called
a serial prostitute,

04:57.755 --> 05:00.383
a bad mom, a serial liar,

05:00.466 --> 05:03.094
a drug addict, every name under the sun.

05:03.845 --> 05:06.556
The whole Prince Andrew thing,
it was just...

05:06.889 --> 05:07.724
kaboom.

05:08.141 --> 05:13.771
And it went from being a harrowing story
about trafficking and abuse

05:14.480 --> 05:17.317
to completely Prince Andrew.

05:18.776 --> 05:20.528
I wasn't Prince Andrew's prostitute,

05:20.611 --> 05:23.156
because I was trafficked to him,
and I was a kid.

05:41.716 --> 05:43.718
[Sigrid McCawley]
My client Virginia Giuffre

05:43.801 --> 05:46.137
was trafficked by Epstein almost 30 times

05:46.220 --> 05:49.682
when she was under the age of 18,
both nationally and internationally.

05:53.519 --> 05:58.691
Virginia came forward publicly in a filing
in the Crime Victims' Rights Act case.

05:58.775 --> 06:03.196
In that filing, she made public
some of the individuals who had abused her

06:03.279 --> 06:06.032
when she was being trafficked
by Jeffrey Epstein.

06:07.617 --> 06:09.952
One of those individuals
was Alan Dershowitz.

06:12.789 --> 06:16.042
[Alan Dershowitz] I assure you,
I never had sex with Virginia Roberts.

06:18.211 --> 06:19.420
Let me state categorically.

06:20.171 --> 06:24.425
I never had sex with an underage person
in my life.

06:24.509 --> 06:30.348
Even when I was an underage boy,
I never had sex with an underage girl.

06:30.431 --> 06:35.395
I never had sex with anyone
related to Jeffrey Epstein.

06:39.440 --> 06:41.984
I challenge Virginia Roberts

06:42.068 --> 06:43.986
to come on your show,

06:44.320 --> 06:47.198
look in the camera,
and say the following words:

06:47.949 --> 06:52.328
"I accuse Alan Dershowitz
of having had sex with me

06:52.412 --> 06:55.331
on six or seven occasions."

06:55.832 --> 06:58.334
She has never been willing
to accuse me in public.

06:58.418 --> 07:02.672
So please accuse me on this show,
I challenge you.

07:07.468 --> 07:10.221
[Giuffre] I was with Alan Dershowitz
multiple times.

07:12.473 --> 07:14.433
At least six that I can remember.

07:16.519 --> 07:21.441
Well, I was trafficked to Alan Dershowitz
from Epstein. Epstein...

07:22.650 --> 07:24.610
made me, essentially,

07:24.902 --> 07:27.905
forced me to.... to have sex with him.

07:29.115 --> 07:32.869
Every time I was trafficked
was at Epstein or Ghislaine's behest.

07:34.454 --> 07:38.499
He's denied being with me.
Is one of us telling the truth? Yes.

07:38.749 --> 07:40.585
Is that person me? Yes.

07:58.519 --> 08:00.730
[Sarah Ransome] I came forward in 2016

08:01.564 --> 08:03.316
when the US election started to happen.

08:04.066 --> 08:05.526
This was completely unplanned.

08:05.610 --> 08:07.820
-[crowd cheering]
-Thank you, everybody.

08:07.904 --> 08:11.032
[Ransome] Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton
are both up for election,

08:11.616 --> 08:16.037
and both candidates for US president
had affiliations with Jeffrey Epstein.

08:16.704 --> 08:19.999
So I went to almost
every single news channel,

08:20.583 --> 08:22.919
British media, American media.

08:23.252 --> 08:27.507
I tried to tell them... I told them
who Jeffrey Epstein was, what he did.

08:28.090 --> 08:29.592
I told them who Ghislaine was.

08:31.969 --> 08:35.139
No one would listen.
No one would hear my voice in 2016.

08:36.766 --> 08:37.642
[message chimes]

08:46.442 --> 08:49.111
[Senator Kristen Gillibrand] This is
a moment in time unlike any other.

08:49.195 --> 08:50.821
With the Me Too movement,

08:50.905 --> 08:53.157
women are feeling the ability

08:53.241 --> 08:55.284
to tell what happened to them,

08:55.368 --> 08:58.120
some of the worst moments they've lived,
and tell it publicly,

08:58.204 --> 09:00.790
and that is powerful,
and it is affecting everything,

09:00.873 --> 09:02.458
and people are looking for justice.

09:03.626 --> 09:08.005
[Courtney Wild] I remember watching
the TV about the Me Too movement,

09:08.089 --> 09:11.509
and thinking, "Okay, like, we're next."

09:13.010 --> 09:17.181
We don't need to feel ashamed
for having survived these things.

09:17.265 --> 09:19.183
Actually talking about them,

09:19.267 --> 09:22.520
you know, bringing them into the light
and finding support from each other

09:22.603 --> 09:24.313
is a huge way towards healing.

09:26.399 --> 09:28.609
[Chauntae Davies] There's definitely
strength in numbers,

09:28.693 --> 09:30.403
and I feel like 
women feel more comfortable

09:30.486 --> 09:32.363
to come forward
when they know they're not alone.

09:34.323 --> 09:38.035
I think we have an unspoken bond
that many people won't ever understand.

09:39.453 --> 09:41.664
Times have changed in a year,

09:41.747 --> 09:46.002
such that these accusations
will be listened to in a different way.

09:48.629 --> 09:50.631
It's an explosive investigative series

09:50.715 --> 09:54.135
by the Miami Herald reporter
Julie K. Brown, connecting the dots

09:54.218 --> 09:57.555
between President Trump's labor secretary,
Alexander Acosta,

09:57.638 --> 10:00.474
and what the Miami Herald calls
"the deal of a lifetime"

10:00.558 --> 10:04.228
that was given to accused pedophile
Jeffrey Epstein.

10:13.154 --> 10:15.698
Senate committee on health, education,
labor and pensions

10:15.781 --> 10:16.782
will please come to order.

10:16.866 --> 10:18.784
This morning, we're holding
a confirmation hearing

10:18.868 --> 10:21.954
on the nomination of Alexander Acosta

10:22.038 --> 10:24.624
to serve as
United States Secretary of Labor.

10:25.791 --> 10:28.085
[man] I did not hear anything
about Epstein

10:28.169 --> 10:32.173
until President Trump nominated Acosta
to be Labor Secretary.

10:33.299 --> 10:36.594
And so, as I was digging
into Acosta's background,

10:36.677 --> 10:39.555
I came upon information
about the Epstein case.

10:40.973 --> 10:42.016
I was shocked.

10:43.309 --> 10:44.518
I'd like to ask you about this.

10:44.602 --> 10:47.480
"Federal prosecutors detail their findings

10:47.563 --> 10:52.068
in an 82-page prosecution memo
and a 53-page indictment,

10:52.151 --> 10:53.694
but Epstein was never indicted."

10:54.403 --> 10:55.446
And then there's a quote.

10:55.529 --> 10:57.782
Quote, "This agreement,"
the agreement you described,

10:57.865 --> 11:00.743
"will not be made part
of any public record,"

11:00.826 --> 11:03.079
the deal between Epstein and Acosta says.

11:03.162 --> 11:06.248
At the end of the day,
based on the evidence...

11:06.582 --> 11:10.795
um... professionals within
a prosecutor's office decide

11:11.337 --> 11:12.963
that a plea

11:13.589 --> 11:16.801
that guarantees that someone goes to jail

11:16.884 --> 11:21.389
and that guarantees other outcomes
is a good thing, and so--

11:21.472 --> 11:23.933
[Tim Kaine] Was that a consensus decision
in your office?

11:25.893 --> 11:28.521
It was a broadly held decision.

11:31.148 --> 11:33.526
[Kaine] It was a secret deal,
as we now know.

11:34.568 --> 11:38.114
I thought the outrageous nature
of the allegations

11:38.197 --> 11:40.282
might lead to a vote against him.

11:41.283 --> 11:44.078
I, Alexander Acosta, do solemnly swear...

11:44.161 --> 11:47.289
I want to thank President Trump,
Vice President Pence,

11:47.373 --> 11:48.958
and the members of the Senate

11:49.041 --> 11:51.877
for the privilege of serving
as Secretary of Labor.

11:51.961 --> 11:54.922
[crowd cheering, applauding]

12:04.557 --> 12:07.768
Karen and Chris, you've got to come
take a look at this order.

12:07.852 --> 12:09.103
[Karen] What happened?

12:09.937 --> 12:14.316
Judge Marra has issued
his summary judgment ruling.

12:14.400 --> 12:18.654
What Judge Marra has ruled is
that the federal government

12:18.738 --> 12:21.949
entered into a conspiracy
with Jeffrey Epstein

12:22.366 --> 12:25.161
to violate the Crime Victims' Rights Act.

12:27.496 --> 12:30.875
-This is just fantastic.
-[Karen] Wow.

12:30.958 --> 12:33.085
-That is great.
-[laughing]

12:33.169 --> 12:35.212
-Congratulations. Well deserved.
-All right.

12:35.296 --> 12:36.380
-All right.
-It's a good day.

12:36.464 --> 12:40.009
[Jack Scarola] There is now in place
a federal order

12:40.092 --> 12:44.388
that the federal government,
under Alexander Acosta's direction,

12:44.472 --> 12:50.478
not only failed to inform victims,
but actively misled them.

12:51.020 --> 12:57.318
That means that there may be
a new hearing in front of a federal judge

12:57.401 --> 13:03.574
where these victims have a right
to express their opposition to this deal.

13:03.657 --> 13:08.120
And a judge could decide it was a contract
that was illegal from the outset.

13:08.913 --> 13:10.790
Epstein has no immunity.

13:10.873 --> 13:15.461
The federal government has
the right to prosecute you

13:16.003 --> 13:19.131
and the right to prosecute
your co-conspirators.

13:20.257 --> 13:23.177
[Edwards] There was this elation
on behalf of the victims that,

13:23.260 --> 13:24.303
"Hey, look, we won.

13:24.386 --> 13:27.223
We went up against the government
and Jeffrey Epstein, and we won.

13:27.306 --> 13:31.519
We proved that you conspired against us,
the victims."

13:33.521 --> 13:36.899
[Wild] When I heard Judge Marra did rule
in our favor,

13:36.982 --> 13:38.943
I just felt very accomplished.

13:39.318 --> 13:42.363
Uh... We'd been fighting for this
for a long time.

13:42.947 --> 13:48.118
Just to have it in words,
"Your rights were violated, period."

13:48.202 --> 13:50.996
It was like, "Okay. 
Now something's happening."

13:52.081 --> 13:53.290
[Edwards] It became clear

13:53.374 --> 13:57.044
that many of the crimes
Jeffrey Epstein had committed in Florida

13:57.127 --> 14:01.549
originated in New York, and that he likely
had committed these crimes in New York.

14:02.883 --> 14:07.721
At this stage, the New York investigation
was underway.

14:12.184 --> 14:14.645
[reporter 1] A federal investigation
shining some new light

14:14.728 --> 14:18.732
on a controversial plea deal
for a wealthy investor

14:18.816 --> 14:22.069
accused of molesting
dozens of underage girls.

14:22.152 --> 14:25.281
[reporter 2] This decision to investigate
reflects the Me Too movement potentially

14:25.364 --> 14:28.742
touching on the Trump administration
and many other powerful people,

14:28.826 --> 14:30.911
and most important, of course,
it impacts the women

14:30.995 --> 14:32.663
who took the risk to come forward.

14:33.455 --> 14:35.749
[Edwards] Now New York's finally
showing an interest,

14:35.833 --> 14:39.962
my clients were all on board
and had been all on board for ten years.

14:41.505 --> 14:44.466
[Michael Reiter] I had heard
that there was an investigation

14:44.550 --> 14:48.721
by the FBI in New York
and the US Attorney in New York.

14:49.388 --> 14:51.181
Even though it felt as though

14:51.265 --> 14:56.145
the victims were completely abandoned
by the entire criminal justice system,

14:56.228 --> 14:58.105
I never gave up over the years,

14:58.188 --> 15:01.775
hoping that some measure of justice
would eventually come to the victims.

15:02.735 --> 15:05.738
[Mike Fisten] I had a pretty good inkling
that something was going to happen

15:05.821 --> 15:07.114
because the FBI,

15:07.573 --> 15:11.702
along with the detectives from NYPD,
were down here in Palm Beach,

15:12.119 --> 15:14.955
interviewing numerous people
over the last three months.

15:16.498 --> 15:19.376
[Shawna Rivera]
I was contacted by the FBI.

15:19.793 --> 15:23.547
They told me that they had
this investigation going on in New York,

15:23.631 --> 15:25.591
and they wanted to get, you know,

15:25.674 --> 15:27.676
as much information as they could.

15:28.010 --> 15:30.804
I told them that they needed
to look out for their victims.

15:30.888 --> 15:32.014
I told them that

15:32.097 --> 15:35.225
if they were going to do this thing,
they needed to really do it.

15:37.061 --> 15:38.312
[Davies] I was so angry that

15:38.896 --> 15:42.816
I just wanted to...
you know, make him pay.

15:43.484 --> 15:45.319
So at that point, I reached out,

15:45.402 --> 15:48.906
which led to a five-hour meeting
with the FBI,

15:48.989 --> 15:52.785
and they flew out to LA to meet with me,
and that was...

15:53.494 --> 15:54.453
super intense,

15:54.536 --> 15:57.331
but it finally felt like
we were getting somewhere.

15:59.083 --> 16:01.293
[Maria Farmer] I had interviewed
with some authorities.

16:01.377 --> 16:03.295
So we knew they were closing in.

16:03.379 --> 16:04.505
We were really excited.

16:04.588 --> 16:07.508
I never, ever thought
that he would be held accountable.

16:18.686 --> 16:21.689
[police sirens wailing]

16:23.357 --> 16:24.942
[reporter 1] Big breaking news overnight.

16:25.025 --> 16:27.569
Jeffrey Epstein arrested
at a New York area airport.

16:27.653 --> 16:30.656
[reporter 2] Jeffrey Epstein was arrested
at New Jersey's Teterboro Airport

16:30.739 --> 16:32.992
after returning on a flight from France.

16:33.075 --> 16:35.494
[reporter 3] The 66-year-old
hedge fund manager was arrested

16:35.577 --> 16:38.122
on federal charges
related to sex trafficking.

16:38.205 --> 16:41.458
He has a bond hearing
scheduled for Monday in New York.

16:41.542 --> 16:43.377
[dramatic music crescendoes]

16:55.097 --> 16:58.684
[Michelle Licata] When I found out
that he was arrested, I was like,

16:58.767 --> 17:02.229
"Oh, my God! Like, finally...

17:02.312 --> 17:05.649
he's going to pay
for everything that he has done.

17:07.067 --> 17:08.360
I'm going to New York.

17:09.403 --> 17:11.321
Even though I didn't want to see him,

17:11.822 --> 17:17.703
I'm going to see him
now that he is in shackles.

17:17.786 --> 17:22.124
You know, he is
in, like, an orange jumpsuit.

17:22.207 --> 17:25.878
He is being treated like
every criminal would be treated.

17:26.587 --> 17:30.299
This has got to be it.
This is when it's going to happen.

17:31.175 --> 17:37.056
They're gonna start digging into his life
and start pulling out this spider web

17:37.139 --> 17:39.433
of people that were related to it.

17:41.060 --> 17:42.644
Oh, he's going to jail.

17:43.812 --> 17:44.688
This is it."

17:45.606 --> 17:47.608
[mysterious music]

17:52.738 --> 17:56.492
[reporter 4] Federal prosecutors
allege that between 2002 and 2005,

17:56.575 --> 18:01.622
Epstein paid underage girls as young as 14
to have sex with him at his townhouse.

18:01.705 --> 18:05.000
[speaking Spanish]

18:05.084 --> 18:07.628
He's a villain, that's it,
and we're here to get rid of him.

18:08.420 --> 18:11.757
[reporters chattering loudly]

18:18.722 --> 18:19.848
[man] Shh.

18:23.519 --> 18:25.479
[camera shutters clicking]

18:25.562 --> 18:26.522
Good morning.

18:26.605 --> 18:30.943
I'm Geoff Berman, United States Attorney
for the Southern District of New York.

18:31.860 --> 18:33.862
Today we announce the unsealing

18:33.946 --> 18:37.449
of sex trafficking charges
against Jeffrey Epstein.

18:38.367 --> 18:40.035
[Giuffre] I remember my lawyer calling me

18:40.119 --> 18:42.788
and saying, "You won't believe this.
Do you have anywhere to sit down?"

18:43.914 --> 18:47.709
And while the charge conduct
is from a number of years ago,

18:48.085 --> 18:52.798
it is still profoundly important
to the many alleged victims,

18:52.881 --> 18:54.466
now young women.

18:55.634 --> 18:57.886
They deserve their day in court.

18:58.762 --> 19:00.222
I looked at my phone...

19:01.723 --> 19:03.267
and then I looked at my phone again.

19:04.434 --> 19:06.520
And then I looked at my phone,
and then I was like...

19:07.479 --> 19:08.313
"No."

19:09.314 --> 19:13.694
I mean, there was a flood of emotions.
I was confused. I was happy.

19:14.027 --> 19:16.572
Tears of joy were streaming down my face.

19:18.073 --> 19:20.492
[Geoff Berman] Epstein is charged
in a two-count indictment.

19:20.993 --> 19:23.662
First, conspiracy
to commit sex trafficking,

19:23.745 --> 19:28.500
and second, the substantive crime
of sex trafficking of underage girls.

19:29.293 --> 19:33.130
It somewhat restored my faith
in the criminal justice system

19:33.213 --> 19:37.676
that was lost by the way the prosecutors
in Florida treated the victims

19:37.759 --> 19:41.638
and treated the case
back in 2006 and 2007.

19:44.433 --> 19:45.893
The charges are very serious,

19:45.976 --> 19:49.313
and they carry with them
a maximum sentence of 45 years in jail,

19:49.396 --> 19:53.150
which to someone of Epstein's age
is basically a life sentence.

19:53.442 --> 19:55.027
[Davies] I just could not believe it.

19:55.485 --> 19:57.988
This all kind of just exploded
all of a sudden,

19:58.071 --> 19:59.907
but at the same time,

20:00.240 --> 20:03.827
I also still knew and believed
his power and...

20:04.328 --> 20:06.413
uh... ability to get himself
out of things.

20:07.372 --> 20:08.624
I was still kind of...

20:09.374 --> 20:11.126
wondering how it was going to go,

20:11.210 --> 20:13.503
and whether or not
they were going to really be able

20:14.087 --> 20:16.173
to build a case and to prosecute him.

20:26.308 --> 20:30.604
[police sirens wailing]

20:31.730 --> 20:33.565
[woman] What's the sitch?
You know what's up?

20:33.649 --> 20:37.027
-[man] This is Jeffrey Epstein's--
-[woman] Oh, shut up!

20:43.533 --> 20:46.578
[man] Somebody must have tipped them off
to something else.

20:46.662 --> 20:50.540
[reporter] New raid video showing
federal agents as they bust open the door

20:50.624 --> 20:55.796
of his seven-story, 77-million-dollar home
on Manhattan's Upper East Side.

20:56.630 --> 20:59.383
Inside, investigators found hundreds,

20:59.466 --> 21:02.511
if not thousands,
of female nude photographs.

21:04.221 --> 21:07.140
[Haley Robson] I think that he would have
been a little bit more careful,

21:07.224 --> 21:08.809
and I don't think that there's

21:09.601 --> 21:10.852
just one set of photos.

21:11.645 --> 21:15.983
It makes me wonder
if there's photos of myself.

21:16.900 --> 21:18.819
What do you do with those photos?

21:18.902 --> 21:22.406
Do you show your friends?
Do you use them to get off?

21:23.490 --> 21:25.117
All those thoughts crossed my mind.

21:26.868 --> 21:31.832
Knowing that he had, in fact, kept
tokens like this from women that he had...

21:32.332 --> 21:34.751
um... you know, abused over the years,

21:35.293 --> 21:36.628
that really got to me.

21:39.840 --> 21:42.926
[Edwards] Jeffrey Epstein had no clue
that this case was coming down,

21:43.010 --> 21:46.930
that there was any investigation
whatsoever into him in New York,

21:47.014 --> 21:48.849
or he never would've come back
in the country.

21:52.561 --> 21:55.063
[Shannon Cake] It was interesting.
Not long after he's arrested,

21:55.147 --> 21:59.151
everyone who had a relationship
with Jeffrey Epstein, suddenly...

21:59.818 --> 22:00.944
no one really knew him.

22:01.695 --> 22:02.571
Suddenly,

22:02.904 --> 22:04.865
"Oh, well, we really weren't friends.

22:04.948 --> 22:07.409
I knew him in an ancillary way."

22:07.492 --> 22:10.162
[male reporter] Presidents Trump
and Clinton have quickly moved

22:10.245 --> 22:12.748
to put some distance
between themselves and Epstein.

22:12.831 --> 22:15.000
I had a falling out with him
a long time ago.

22:15.083 --> 22:18.086
I don't think I've spoken to him
for 15 years. I wasn't a fan.

22:18.170 --> 22:20.839
[female reporter 1] "He's not spoken
to Epstein in well over a decade

22:20.922 --> 22:23.258
and has never been
to Little St. James Island,

22:23.341 --> 22:26.970
Epstein's ranch in New Mexico,
or his residence in Florida."

22:27.054 --> 22:29.056
[female reporter 2]
Flight logs obtained indicate

22:29.139 --> 22:33.852
that former President Bill Clinton was
on Epstein's private jet at least 26 times

22:33.935 --> 22:36.355
between 2001 and 2003.

22:38.899 --> 22:40.984
[Steve Scully] Bill Clinton
has been on that island.

22:41.485 --> 22:47.074
I saw Bill Clinton sitting with Jeffrey
on the living room porch.

22:48.408 --> 22:50.619
[Giuffre] I remember having a dinner
with Clinton.

22:51.119 --> 22:54.164
He was there, and I never saw him
do anything improper.

22:55.749 --> 22:59.211
I wish, you know, he would just come clean
about, like, "Yeah, I was there. So what?

22:59.294 --> 23:01.213
Who cares?
I didn't see anything going on."

23:11.014 --> 23:14.726
[Cake] For years, there had been
a known affiliation and a friendship

23:14.810 --> 23:17.646
between Jeffrey Epstein and Prince Andrew.

23:17.729 --> 23:18.730
[camera shutter clicking]

23:18.814 --> 23:22.067
[Cake] And then, of course, there were
the allegations from Virginia Giuffre.

23:22.859 --> 23:25.612
And these stories had dogged him
for years.

23:26.113 --> 23:28.740
So he decides,
"I'll confront them head-on."

23:28.990 --> 23:30.992
So he sits down with the BBC.

23:31.618 --> 23:34.538
Because I can tell you, categorically...

23:35.497 --> 23:38.458
I don't remember meeting her... at all.

23:38.542 --> 23:42.295
I do not remember
a photograph being taken,

23:42.379 --> 23:48.093
and I've said consistently
and, um... and frequently...

23:49.136 --> 23:52.681
that we never had
any sort of sexual contact whatever.

23:52.931 --> 23:55.642
So I'm sitting outside,
and I'm having my cup of coffee,

23:55.725 --> 23:59.020
and I'm watching it on my tablet.

23:59.521 --> 24:01.731
I mean, I wanted to throw my tablet
in the pool.

24:01.815 --> 24:05.193
[stammering] I've no recollection
of ever meeting her.

24:05.277 --> 24:08.280
[Giuffre] As a victim,
I think one thing that we ask for is

24:08.363 --> 24:10.824
some acknowledgment and some remorse.

24:11.491 --> 24:14.286
This guy didn't have any remorse at all.

24:14.995 --> 24:17.247
His arrogance about it, I mean...

24:18.165 --> 24:20.167
The whole "I don't sweat" thing...

24:20.250 --> 24:26.339
[stammering] I have a peculiar medical
condition, which is that I don't sweat...

24:26.423 --> 24:28.717
Um... Or I didn't sweat at the time.

24:28.800 --> 24:31.470
This guy was, like,
profusely sweating all over me, and...

24:31.553 --> 24:33.472
"I don't remember her. 
I've never been upstairs

24:33.555 --> 24:36.141
at Ghislaine's townhouse."
How did you know that's upstairs?

24:36.975 --> 24:38.727
She provided a photo

24:38.810 --> 24:40.520
-of the two of you together.
-Yes.

24:41.104 --> 24:43.190
[Emily Maitlis]
Your arm was around her waist.

24:43.273 --> 24:44.816
-[Prince Andrew] Yes.
-You've seen the photo?

24:44.900 --> 24:47.402
-I've seen the photograph.
-[Maitlis] How do you explain that?

24:47.485 --> 24:48.320
I can't.

24:50.322 --> 24:51.823
'Cause I don't... I have no...

24:51.907 --> 24:55.869
Again, I have absolutely no memory
of that photograph ever being taken.

24:58.914 --> 25:01.708
[Giuffre] I didn't expect him
to put his hand up and say, "I'm guilty."

25:02.334 --> 25:03.168
I didn't.

25:03.502 --> 25:08.340
But some form of remorse
or acknowledgment would have been...

25:09.508 --> 25:10.759
Would have been better.

25:12.719 --> 25:14.429
I think it's been universally agreed.

25:14.513 --> 25:16.723
It was one of the worst mea culpas
ever known to man.

25:16.806 --> 25:18.934
I mean, if people didn't think
he was guilty before,

25:19.017 --> 25:23.104
after his interview, I think people
thought that something had happened.

25:23.188 --> 25:25.815
So I think that kind of backfired on him.

25:38.745 --> 25:41.081
[Scully]
After Jeffrey Epstein was arrested,

25:41.164 --> 25:44.960
all of a sudden, the FBI now,
and this task force, they interviewed me.

25:45.460 --> 25:47.712
They had me look at, uh...
a large series...

25:47.796 --> 25:50.382
It must have been
60 or 70 photos of people.

25:51.800 --> 25:54.135
Then they showed me
one of Virginia Roberts,

25:54.886 --> 25:57.973
but it was a current photo,
and I couldn't identify her.

25:58.056 --> 26:00.183
But... I was told to check

26:00.267 --> 26:04.187
a photo that had emerged
out of all of this investigative work,

26:04.813 --> 26:08.483
and that photo is a photo of Prince Andrew

26:09.067 --> 26:12.904
with a young blonde girl.
And as soon as I saw her...

26:12.988 --> 26:16.950
That was the girl that he was kind of,
like, grinding against at the pool.

26:19.411 --> 26:21.871
She was, at that time,
wearing a bikini bottom.

26:23.415 --> 26:24.249
That's it.

26:25.709 --> 26:29.879
But I absolutely can tell you
that the photo of her, in the picture,

26:29.963 --> 26:33.383
which is her when she is, I think, 17...

26:34.092 --> 26:36.344
that was Virginia Roberts.

26:44.311 --> 26:47.355
Epstein should have been
behind bars years ago.

26:47.814 --> 26:49.149
But, unfortunately,

26:49.357 --> 26:52.110
Secretary of Labor Alex Acosta

26:52.193 --> 26:54.863
cut Epstein a sweetheart deal,

26:55.322 --> 26:58.867
while Acosta was a US attorney
in Florida in 2008.

26:59.159 --> 27:02.954
I am calling on Secretary Acosta
to resign.

27:05.457 --> 27:07.250
[camera shutters clicking furiously]

27:10.420 --> 27:12.297
[Alexander Acosta]
Let me start by reiterating

27:12.505 --> 27:16.885
that I'm pleased that
the New York prosecution is going forward.

27:17.802 --> 27:21.723
They've brought these charges based on
new evidence against Jeffrey Epstein,

27:21.806 --> 27:23.767
who is now a registered sex offender.

27:24.184 --> 27:27.062
And this is a very, very good thing.

27:27.854 --> 27:31.941
It's quite unbelievable that Mr. Acosta
could get up there with a straight face

27:32.025 --> 27:35.153
and talk about how uh... he's happy

27:35.236 --> 27:37.989
that new charges are brought
by the Southern District of New York,

27:38.073 --> 27:41.951
which means, essentially, Mr. Acosta
is admitting that it's wonderful

27:42.035 --> 27:45.914
that another district office was doing
a better investigation than his office did

27:45.997 --> 27:47.874
and found more victims than he did.

27:50.168 --> 27:52.003
[Acosta] I called the President
this morning.

27:52.087 --> 27:55.674
I told him that I thought
the right thing was to step aside.

27:56.257 --> 28:01.388
I do not think it is right and fair
for this administration's Labor Department

28:01.471 --> 28:03.765
to have Epstein as a focus.

28:03.848 --> 28:07.143
Th... This is just totally
a bunch of bullshit.

28:07.227 --> 28:10.730
It would be selfish for me
to stay in this position.

28:10.814 --> 28:13.441
[Fisten] He knows that we know now that

28:13.525 --> 28:16.945
this case was never an ultimatum
to Jeffrey Epstein.

28:17.028 --> 28:18.822
That this was an indictment

28:19.322 --> 28:21.741
that the federal government
had against him

28:21.825 --> 28:24.327
that they decided not to go forward with.

28:24.786 --> 28:26.871
Now, I know why he resigned today.

28:27.497 --> 28:32.127
Because he knew, within 24 hours,
the real people that knew the truth

28:32.210 --> 28:34.838
were going to come forward and say

28:34.921 --> 28:38.716
that, "Mr. Acosta, you're full of shit.
That's not what happened."

28:38.800 --> 28:39.717
Excuse my French.

28:41.761 --> 28:45.223
[menacing music]

28:47.684 --> 28:49.769
[reporter] A Manhattan judge
is expected to decide

28:49.853 --> 28:53.648
whether Jeffrey Epstein should be released
on bail ahead of his federal trial.

28:54.149 --> 28:55.483
Epstein pleaded not guilty.

28:55.567 --> 28:59.279
His attorneys say he's ready to post
up to 100 million dollars bail.

28:59.362 --> 29:02.907
And you have victims who say
that they are frightened

29:03.408 --> 29:05.285
if he is out.

29:05.368 --> 29:07.579
[chattering]

29:07.662 --> 29:10.290
[Wild] I was able to fly to New York

29:10.373 --> 29:12.500
to be present at the court hearings.

29:12.584 --> 29:15.295
I definitely thought
he would get out on bond,

29:15.378 --> 29:17.589
just because of how much money he has.

29:18.298 --> 29:21.509
And it was just like, that's exactly
what happened the first time.

29:22.594 --> 29:25.054
[Annie Farmer] I didn't even know
if I could get into the court

29:25.138 --> 29:27.015
because I wasn't sure how it worked, um...

29:27.098 --> 29:29.601
But I just wanted there
to be somebody there

29:29.684 --> 29:31.644
to represent the survivors.

29:32.395 --> 29:33.897
What do you think is the safest route?

29:33.980 --> 29:35.899
David, I think we should take it that way.

29:35.982 --> 29:37.358
That way. Yeah, more quiet.

29:48.703 --> 29:50.205
[Wild] That day was crazy.

29:51.206 --> 29:54.959
Media attention, and it was something
that I never dealt with before.

29:55.043 --> 29:56.294
[man] Brad, this way.

29:57.045 --> 29:59.547
[Wild] It was just a lot to take in
all in one day.

30:00.882 --> 30:04.761
I was terrified. I had never experienced
something like that. I was...

30:04.844 --> 30:08.431
I was actually, like, holding
Courtney's hand because I was like...

30:08.515 --> 30:12.852
"Uh... I need to feel some kind of, like,
comfort right now."

30:14.896 --> 30:19.150
[Wild] Me and Michelle definitely...
It was like soul sisters.

30:19.234 --> 30:21.861
"We were victims of Jeffrey Epstein,
and here we are.

30:22.111 --> 30:25.448
There's no more hiding.
You know, it's no more Jane Doe.

30:25.532 --> 30:30.036
Like, I'm Courtney Wild, and I was
sexually abused by Jeffrey Epstein."

30:33.039 --> 30:36.751
Michelle said the same thing,
and it was just overwhelming.

30:37.919 --> 30:41.214
But there's power in more than one person.

30:43.132 --> 30:46.511
[Licata] I want him to... to look at me,

30:46.594 --> 30:49.639
and I wanted to be like,
"Do you remember me?

30:49.722 --> 30:54.352
Do you remember my face?
Do you remember anything about me?

30:54.602 --> 30:58.857
Of course you don't remember me,
because there was hundreds like me.

30:59.315 --> 31:04.529
You don't remember me, but, uh!
I'll remember you for the rest of my life.

31:04.904 --> 31:07.615
That's something that I have to remember.

31:07.699 --> 31:11.035
So I want you to take a good look
at my face right now,

31:11.119 --> 31:12.745
and I want you to remember

31:12.829 --> 31:17.792
the people that are going to put you
in prison for the rest of your life."

31:20.253 --> 31:22.714
[suspenseful music]

31:23.715 --> 31:27.051
[reporters clamoring]

31:31.222 --> 31:32.599
[man] Brad, we've gotta go soon.

31:34.642 --> 31:36.603
[Licata] You know,
my heart's starting to race,

31:36.686 --> 31:39.147
like, "Oh, my God, this is... This is...

31:39.772 --> 31:44.277
the moment, like, I have kind of dreaded

31:44.694 --> 31:46.487
ten years, 15 years?"

31:47.906 --> 31:50.491
I'm going to see him, and...

31:51.075 --> 31:53.494
I haven't seen him since he was

31:54.203 --> 31:55.914
laying out on a table,

31:56.664 --> 31:59.876
masturbating and going to town on himself.

31:59.959 --> 32:01.336
And, you know,

32:01.419 --> 32:05.757
like, that's the last time
I've actually seen him in person.

32:07.550 --> 32:10.261
[reporters clamoring]

32:10.345 --> 32:12.639
Stay back, stay back, stay back!

32:12.722 --> 32:15.308
Go back. No. Stay up on the steps.

32:19.270 --> 32:21.606
[Licata] I was sitting
in the courtroom, and...

32:21.689 --> 32:24.317
I was just... I was so upset.

32:24.400 --> 32:26.235
I was... I was crying.

32:26.361 --> 32:28.780
It was super overwhelming, um...

32:29.614 --> 32:33.076
He had, like, a bald spot
on the back of his head.

32:34.702 --> 32:38.539
He was in, like, the jumpsuit. 
I was like...

32:39.582 --> 32:42.710
"This is just... This is unbelievable."

32:50.802 --> 32:54.472
[Wild] I got to look at him in the face
in the courtroom and say,

32:54.555 --> 32:58.935
I was sexually abused by him,
by Jeffrey when I was 14,

32:59.018 --> 33:01.354
and to please not give him bond
and stuff like that.

33:01.437 --> 33:04.357
And even though it was
such a short period of time,

33:04.440 --> 33:06.484
it was just a short statement
I got to say,

33:06.567 --> 33:09.904
you know, he still had to look at me
and hear me say that.

33:12.782 --> 33:16.285
[Edwards] His attorneys were offering
hundreds of millions of dollars

33:16.369 --> 33:20.498
for bond money, which should ensure
that he's going to return.

33:20.915 --> 33:22.875
[McCawley]
It started at 500 million.

33:23.418 --> 33:25.586
They were making offers to the court

33:25.670 --> 33:28.464
in order to try to convince the judge
to let him out.

33:28.548 --> 33:31.592
He'll give all of his wealth,
whatever it takes to get him out.

33:33.177 --> 33:36.723
[Edwards] But then the prosecutors
presented additional evidence.

33:37.432 --> 33:38.641
When they broke into the home,

33:38.725 --> 33:41.185
and they found child pornography
in his safe,

33:41.644 --> 33:46.399
they also found a number of other things,
diamonds, passports that were false.

33:47.734 --> 33:49.861
[Edwards] The diamonds, passport...

33:49.944 --> 33:51.529
It looks like an escape plan.

33:52.071 --> 33:53.865
He's had an escape plan forever.

33:58.161 --> 33:59.495
[woman] Ha!

33:59.579 --> 34:01.622
-Good shit.
-[cameraman] What happened?

34:01.706 --> 34:02.790
He's not getting out,

34:02.874 --> 34:07.211
and this means he'll probably spend
the rest of his life in jail.

34:07.754 --> 34:10.923
[McCawley] We're thrilled today
with the ruling by Judge Berman.

34:11.007 --> 34:14.510
Only by taking away the freedom
of Jeffrey Epstein

34:14.594 --> 34:17.555
can we restore the freedom
of these victims.

34:17.638 --> 34:20.641
No bail for Jeffrey Epstein,
the judge agreeing with the government

34:20.725 --> 34:22.852
that Epstein presents
a danger to the community

34:22.935 --> 34:24.687
and also an extreme risk of flight.

34:24.771 --> 34:27.356
[Musgrave] He also talked a lot
about the community can't be safe.

34:27.440 --> 34:28.816
He was a danger to the community.

34:28.900 --> 34:32.779
And he was very, uh... moved
by the statements by the two victims.

34:34.405 --> 34:36.866
[Tim Malloy] This is a guy
who manipulated, threatened,

34:36.949 --> 34:39.202
uh... bought his way
in and out of trouble.

34:39.827 --> 34:44.290
And now, for the first time in a jail cell
in Lower Manhattan,

34:44.373 --> 34:47.085
it looks like there was no way
to buy his way out.

34:58.096 --> 35:02.016
[Robson] With everything coming out again
and having to go through and relive it,

35:02.100 --> 35:02.934
I'm scared.

35:03.017 --> 35:04.852
Scared to be dragged 
through the media again.

35:05.895 --> 35:07.522
It's just been a roller coaster.

35:09.107 --> 35:10.983
I've been up and down every day.

35:11.776 --> 35:15.446
I have been sick to my stomach.
Um... I've cried a lot.

35:16.030 --> 35:18.157
I mean, I think we can all assume
with his...

35:18.866 --> 35:20.868
reach, and his planes, and his wealth,

35:20.952 --> 35:25.289
he could very well walk out the front door
and we could never see him again.

35:27.208 --> 35:30.628
And I'm hoping that after this time,

35:31.212 --> 35:35.925
um, that it's the final time,
and that he actually does not get out.

35:40.513 --> 35:42.515
[suspenseful music grows]

35:50.314 --> 35:53.526
[Annie Farmer] I was laying on the sofa
and kind of drifting in an out of sleep,

35:53.609 --> 35:57.572
and, um... my husband came
and sat next to me,

35:57.655 --> 36:01.659
and he woke me up, like, you know,
in a way that I knew something was wrong.

36:01.742 --> 36:03.244
And he said, "I have some hard news."

36:08.040 --> 36:11.169
[male reporter 1] The disgraced financier
Jeffrey Epstein is dead.

36:11.252 --> 36:14.630
Epstein took his own life
while behind bars here in New York City,

36:14.714 --> 36:16.716
while facing charges of sex trafficking.

36:17.592 --> 36:19.176
"Committed suicide? What?

36:20.011 --> 36:21.429
How is that possible?"

36:23.097 --> 36:25.808
[male reporter 1] What we know is
at some point this morning,

36:25.892 --> 36:29.312
the Bureau of Prisons and prison officials
found Jeffrey Epstein in his cell.

36:29.395 --> 36:31.939
Apparently, he had hanged himself.

36:33.316 --> 36:34.901
[Maria Farmer] I was kind of in shock.

36:35.693 --> 36:38.321
It didn't hit me for maybe a couple hours,

36:38.404 --> 36:40.740
and then I got really, really angry

36:40.823 --> 36:45.077
that I couldn't face him and tell him
what he'd done to me and my life.

36:47.997 --> 36:50.041
[male reporter 2] His body
in that van you see there

36:50.124 --> 36:52.126
seen heading
for the Medical Examiner's office.

36:52.210 --> 36:56.756
It is a stunning turn of events for a man
who lived a life of exceptional wealth

36:56.839 --> 36:59.217
with extremely powerful people
in his orbit.

36:59.300 --> 37:00.301
[camera shutter clicks]

37:01.594 --> 37:03.721
[Malloy] It is inconceivable
that in a prison,

37:03.804 --> 37:07.308
a federal prison
that housed terrorists and El Chapo,

37:07.391 --> 37:09.936
that had cameras,
that had guards everywhere,

37:10.019 --> 37:11.479
that something could go wrong

37:11.562 --> 37:14.232
and harm could come to Jeffrey Epstein.
Inconceivable.

37:22.740 --> 37:25.326
Reports indicated
that he tied his bed sheet

37:25.785 --> 37:28.579
around his neck, and strangled himself.

37:33.751 --> 37:36.170
It's a federal prison,
notoriously underfunded,

37:36.712 --> 37:38.256
something of a hellhole,

37:38.339 --> 37:40.508
and it's revealed
that the guards were sleeping.

37:40.591 --> 37:42.051
The cameras weren't working.

37:42.885 --> 37:45.471
Everything that could go wrong went wrong.

37:49.725 --> 37:53.020
[Annie Farmer] Honestly,
I felt so devastated that...

37:54.689 --> 37:56.440
once again, he had...

37:57.650 --> 38:01.487
you know, managed to escape
any kind of accountability.

38:03.990 --> 38:06.742
That's how it felt.
Like people just didn't care enough

38:06.826 --> 38:10.955
to make sure that he was alive
to go to trial.

38:12.832 --> 38:14.417
[raining]

38:14.500 --> 38:16.377
[Rivera] There's no justice in this.

38:16.752 --> 38:18.337
[thunder rumbles]

38:18.713 --> 38:21.549
There was just so much more to be said...

38:21.799 --> 38:23.676
that's never going to be said.

38:24.593 --> 38:25.678
And that's sad.

38:27.138 --> 38:29.140
-[rain pouring]
-[thunder rumbling]

38:30.016 --> 38:32.143
[Rivera] I didn't know how to react to it.

38:32.226 --> 38:34.979
I felt sad immediately and I...

38:35.479 --> 38:38.441
Not to say that, like,
he didn't do bad things,

38:38.524 --> 38:42.361
not to say that he didn't deserve
something terrible to happen to him...

38:43.487 --> 38:48.451
I just don't think that was the ending
that anybody wanted.

38:50.328 --> 38:52.330
[rain falling]

38:53.706 --> 38:57.418
Before I begin,
I'd like to briefly address news

38:57.501 --> 39:01.672
from the Manhattan Correctional Center
over the weekend

39:01.756 --> 39:03.674
regarding Jeffrey Epstein.

39:04.675 --> 39:08.512
We are now learning of serious
irregularities at this facility

39:08.596 --> 39:10.514
that are deeply concerning

39:10.890 --> 39:14.185
and demand a thorough investigation.

39:16.103 --> 39:19.732
[Charles Gasparino] If you wanna know how
he could slip through the cracks on this,

39:19.815 --> 39:22.818
the New York's Metropolitan Correction
Center used to be called "the Tombs."

39:23.527 --> 39:26.989
It's a notoriously, you know, harsh place.

39:27.406 --> 39:30.993
It's understaffed, and largely staffed
by not the smartest people.

39:31.535 --> 39:33.996
He knew his life was done.

39:35.122 --> 39:36.832
He wanted to kill himself,

39:36.916 --> 39:39.043
and he killed himself
the first chance he got.

39:43.839 --> 39:46.842
[Musgrave] I think it's just typical
of the whole Jeffrey Epstein story.

39:46.926 --> 39:49.678
Even in death,
he kept the controversy alive.

39:50.596 --> 39:53.599
[female reporter] Wild rumors and theories
about how Jeffrey Epstein died

39:53.682 --> 39:56.769
on the federal government's watch
is breeding online.

39:57.019 --> 39:58.854
[Musgrave] I think
it's the never-ending story.

39:58.938 --> 40:02.358
Did he kill himself?
Was he killed? Was there a hit out?

40:02.441 --> 40:06.404
Did one of these powerful men
pay a prison guard to kill him?

40:06.779 --> 40:07.613
I don't know.

40:07.988 --> 40:09.907
[suspenseful music]

40:11.117 --> 40:13.911
This case is ripe for conspiracy theories.

40:14.870 --> 40:18.749
That's part of the story.
There's so many weird sort of connections.

40:19.875 --> 40:23.838
Conspiracy theorists have claimed
that Epstein's death wasn't a suicide,

40:23.921 --> 40:25.256
or it was faked.

40:25.339 --> 40:27.800
Other Epstein theories floating online,

40:27.883 --> 40:30.845
"How convenient now
for the princes, and politicians,

40:30.928 --> 40:33.264
and other powerful people
Epstein mingled with

40:33.764 --> 40:34.640
that he's dead."

40:36.100 --> 40:38.394
[Davies] I'm sure
many people wanted him dead.

40:38.477 --> 40:41.147
He had a lot of information
on a lot of people, a lot of blackmail.

40:41.230 --> 40:42.648
Videos and pictures.

40:44.900 --> 40:47.278
[Maria Farmer] If you look here,
the limestone,

40:47.361 --> 40:50.656
inside the house,
behind, like, a space like that,

40:50.739 --> 40:53.159
they have cameras,
and they have them everywhere.

40:54.410 --> 40:58.497
Jeffrey took me into a room which is
a bit back further than this window,

40:58.581 --> 40:59.999
and it's leaded.

41:00.624 --> 41:03.210
And it had all the computers

41:03.294 --> 41:07.882
and all these monitors, like,
the old-fashioned TV monitors, stacked.

41:09.091 --> 41:11.844
[Giuffre] I'm looking at the monitors,
and I'm like, "That's my room.

41:11.927 --> 41:13.220
That's the massage room.

41:13.304 --> 41:15.389
That's my shower. That's my toilet.

41:15.890 --> 41:17.725
That's everyone else's toilet
in the house. 

41:17.808 --> 41:19.768
That's everyone else's shower
in the house."

41:19.852 --> 41:23.022
That's... Every single corner
of that house was monitored.

41:23.606 --> 41:26.275
He was watching everybody all the time.

41:26.609 --> 41:28.360
This was a blackmail scheme.

41:28.694 --> 41:32.072
All those powerful people
abusing underage girls.

41:32.156 --> 41:33.073
When he told me,

41:33.157 --> 41:36.410
"People owe me favors,
and I will never get caught.

41:36.493 --> 41:38.078
I can get away with things,"

41:38.787 --> 41:39.830
he meant it.

41:41.499 --> 41:45.002
[Ransome] I think that he would take
a lot of people down.

41:45.085 --> 41:47.213
This wasn't just a ring
for Jeffrey Epstein.

41:47.296 --> 41:49.882
This was an international
sex trafficking ring.

41:50.716 --> 41:52.676
This has reached all over the world.

41:54.094 --> 41:57.306
He is a very small piece
in a huge network.

42:00.309 --> 42:04.188
[Malloy] Mark Epstein, Jeffrey's brother,
is not buying the suicide.

42:04.271 --> 42:05.439
He doesn't believe it.

42:05.522 --> 42:10.986
So he hires a renowned forensic expert
to take another look at the autopsy.

42:16.867 --> 42:20.120
[Dr. Cyril Wecht]
A call came in from Dr. Michael Baden,

42:20.204 --> 42:23.540
who is representing the family,
specifically the brother,

42:23.624 --> 42:25.167
Mr. Mark Epstein.

42:25.751 --> 42:28.754
I then received a copy
of the autopsy report

42:28.837 --> 42:32.007
and discussed things with Dr. Baden
at great length.

42:33.259 --> 42:35.719
There was no evidence at all to indicate

42:35.803 --> 42:38.889
that he had jumped or leaped
from the bunk.

42:40.224 --> 42:44.645
I came to learn that there were
fractures of the hyoid bone,

42:44.728 --> 42:47.398
which is a delicate, U-shaped bone

42:47.481 --> 42:51.026
located high in the neck directly
beneath the mandible, the lower jaw.

42:51.986 --> 42:56.407
I have here, uh...
from a totally unrelated case, of course,

42:56.490 --> 42:57.408
a hyoid bone.

42:57.825 --> 43:00.744
Now, there is some soft tissue
still attached.

43:00.828 --> 43:02.454
On, uh, Jeffrey Epstein,

43:02.538 --> 43:04.248
three fractures were found:

43:04.331 --> 43:08.168
the horn of the hyoid bone
on the left side,

43:09.003 --> 43:11.380
and then directly beneath
on Jeffrey Epstein

43:11.463 --> 43:13.674
there were fractures
of the thyroid cartilage

43:13.757 --> 43:17.303
and then on the right side
of the thyroid cartilage.

43:19.638 --> 43:22.057
You do not get those three fractures

43:22.141 --> 43:25.894
with a suicidal hanging
of someone leaning forward.

43:25.978 --> 43:29.189
So where, again, is the force

43:29.273 --> 43:34.194
that would have been required to produce
those fractures from kneeling forward?

43:35.654 --> 43:39.450
I can say I've never seen it myself
in all of my autopsies.

43:39.533 --> 43:44.496
I would say, to have these three fractures
in that kind of a suicidal hanging

43:44.580 --> 43:48.375
would be extremely rare. Extremely rare.

43:54.298 --> 43:57.634
[Gasparino] What really took this tragedy
to another level, in my view,

43:57.718 --> 44:01.638
was when he moved his money over
to the Virgin Islands in his will.

44:08.395 --> 44:12.399
[Edwards] Jeffrey Epstein signed a will
two days before he committed suicide.

44:12.483 --> 44:15.402
At that time,
he knew he was committing suicide,

44:15.486 --> 44:18.697
but I would presume
his lawyers didn't know that.

44:21.033 --> 44:24.370
[Gasparino] It made it much more difficult
for the victims to get restitution,

44:24.453 --> 44:29.541
and in my view, it sort of underscored
his evilness, you know, his venality.

44:29.625 --> 44:33.587
It basically showed that he had
no remorse whatsoever.

44:33.671 --> 44:35.172
He didn't think he did anything wrong.

44:35.255 --> 44:38.258
That just says it all
about Jeffrey Epstein, you know.

44:38.342 --> 44:40.594
It was a "Fuck you" to the victims.

44:41.261 --> 44:45.057
Like, he had no, sort of, remorse
about victims.

44:45.808 --> 44:48.644
[Edwards] The victims... Certain things
have been taken from them forever.

44:48.727 --> 44:51.855
They'll never get the satisfaction
of seeing him in jail for life.

44:52.439 --> 44:55.401
But there will come a point in time
where they're able to prove

44:55.484 --> 44:58.487
that they were victimized, 
they were harmed by the victimization,

44:58.570 --> 45:01.115
and... and that they should be
compensated for it.

45:01.615 --> 45:03.325
But they're never going to be made whole,

45:03.409 --> 45:06.078
because you just can't ever take back
what happened to them.

45:17.131 --> 45:19.800
[Malloy] Epstein's lawyers
wanted to dismiss the case.

45:20.592 --> 45:22.261
You can't, uh... try a dead guy.

45:23.303 --> 45:25.222
But the judge wasn't going
to let that happen.

45:25.305 --> 45:28.892
The judge was going to let some
of the victims have their day in court.

45:29.643 --> 45:31.937
-[man] Good morning, Your Honor.
-Nice to see you.

45:32.020 --> 45:33.230
[man] Nice to see you.

45:33.731 --> 45:37.192
[reporter 1] Up to 30 women are expected
to accept a New York judge's invitation

45:37.276 --> 45:38.402
to address the hearing

45:38.485 --> 45:42.865
before he moves to dismiss the criminal
sex trafficking case against Epstein.

45:44.950 --> 45:47.995
[Davies] The invite to the hearing
was all very last-minute.

45:48.328 --> 45:51.039
As emotional as this has all been for me,

45:51.123 --> 45:55.085
it's also ignited, sort of, this dragon,
if you will, in me

45:55.169 --> 45:56.962
that I feel the need to...

45:57.588 --> 46:00.966
speak my truth
and to have my voice heard.

46:02.634 --> 46:04.636
[reporter 2]
More than a dozen alleged victims

46:04.720 --> 46:09.016
of convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein
finally had their day in court.

46:09.433 --> 46:11.143
[Wild] We deserved our day in court.

46:11.226 --> 46:14.730
I think it was a very cowardly thing
for him to do.

46:14.813 --> 46:16.315
He escaped justice.

46:16.398 --> 46:18.275
[reporters clamoring]

46:18.817 --> 46:20.569
[Annie Farmer] I was so touched

46:20.652 --> 46:24.198
by the strength of the women
that were there

46:24.281 --> 46:27.743
getting up and sharing their experiences,
so many for the first time.

46:28.118 --> 46:31.288
It was a very cathartic experience
to be there.

46:33.040 --> 46:35.375
[Ransome] Judge Berman,
he changed my life.

46:35.792 --> 46:37.002
For the first time,

46:37.085 --> 46:39.338
I actually saw someone
in a position of power

46:39.421 --> 46:42.299
that actually had any form of respect
for us,

46:42.716 --> 46:43.717
and he listened,

46:44.176 --> 46:45.803
and that's all I ever wanted,

46:46.386 --> 46:49.056
was for someone to listen
and for someone to hear me.

46:51.141 --> 46:53.227
[Giuffre] Judge Berman
gave me back something

46:53.310 --> 46:55.187
that I never thought was possible.

46:56.688 --> 46:58.941
He gave me back a piece of myself that...

47:00.400 --> 47:02.152
was missing for so long.

47:02.611 --> 47:04.279
Hugging those girls in court...

47:08.617 --> 47:10.160
[sighs]

47:10.244 --> 47:11.745
It was beautiful.

47:12.621 --> 47:14.081
[sighs]

47:15.707 --> 47:18.043
We cried, we laughed, we hugged...

47:19.294 --> 47:22.673
and we all had each other's backs
that day in court.

47:23.882 --> 47:25.884
[reporters clamoring]

47:27.719 --> 47:30.389
[Edwards] The way that Judge Berman
treated these victims

47:30.472 --> 47:35.185
is going to be the model
for how victims should be treated.

47:35.769 --> 47:39.815
I think that it's going to go down
in history as the most important case

47:39.898 --> 47:43.151
on behalf of crime victims
in US history to date.

47:43.610 --> 47:46.530
[Davies] It makes me sick to my stomach
that there's perpetrators out there that

47:47.281 --> 47:49.992
obviously helped him in many ways
for a very long time,

47:50.075 --> 47:51.159
and they're still out there.

47:51.243 --> 47:56.081
It gives nobody justice, and it leaves
a lot of unanswered questions.

47:56.832 --> 48:00.711
It's also pretty upsetting to see
how many lives he's devastated,

48:00.794 --> 48:01.628
and to see...

48:02.754 --> 48:06.091
how long this went on for,
and nobody did anything about it.

48:11.430 --> 48:13.515
[McCawley] It's incredibly scary
to come forward

48:13.599 --> 48:15.726
against someone like Jeffrey Epstein,

48:15.809 --> 48:20.105
who's a billionaire,
who has friends in very high places,

48:20.188 --> 48:23.525
who has intimidated them,
who has abused them,

48:23.609 --> 48:26.737
and to stand up many years later
and to say, "This was wrong,

48:26.820 --> 48:28.155
it shouldn't have happened to me,

48:28.238 --> 48:30.741
and I don't want it to happen
to anybody else,"

48:30.824 --> 48:32.951
is just an incredible thing to witness.

48:42.377 --> 48:43.879
[Maria Farmer] Okay, let's see.

48:45.797 --> 48:47.466
I felt completely defeated.

48:49.176 --> 48:50.802
My life was threatened.

48:51.219 --> 48:56.058
My work was threatened.
My career was... jeopardized completely.

48:58.226 --> 49:02.022
I've pretty much been on a journey
for 20 years of not doing my art,

49:02.105 --> 49:03.065
of not painting,

49:03.732 --> 49:05.984
and I was just trying to survive.

49:06.568 --> 49:11.490
And then I began again painting
because I was tired of being afraid.

49:12.366 --> 49:15.118
I felt like I wanted
to expose the monsters,

49:15.202 --> 49:17.245
and I just needed to get that out.

49:17.704 --> 49:20.582
And so this is an illustration.

49:20.666 --> 49:22.960
Basically, it's my diagram for the FBI,

49:23.043 --> 49:26.338
because I want them to see
what I told them all those years ago.

49:27.339 --> 49:31.218
And it's a version of Bosch's
Garden of Earthly Delights,

49:31.301 --> 49:33.887
which is basically
just like Dante's Inferno,

49:34.721 --> 49:37.516
portraying Heaven, Hell, and Earth.

49:38.642 --> 49:40.811
This is our lovely Ghislaine Maxwell.

49:40.894 --> 49:43.146
She's a pill, a hard pill to swallow,

49:43.230 --> 49:45.565
and she's the property of the FBI
in this drawing.

49:46.942 --> 49:50.696
I put Epstein here with his little UFO
on a NASA tower

49:50.779 --> 49:53.365
because Epstein was, um...

49:54.324 --> 49:56.159
given a free ride by our government.

49:56.743 --> 49:59.871
And, um... Yeah. That's... [chuckles]

50:01.581 --> 50:02.666
That makes me angry.

50:05.627 --> 50:08.338
So I'm actually working
on something new right now.

50:08.422 --> 50:11.258
I'm drawing the other Epstein survivors

50:11.341 --> 50:14.511
because it empowers me
to provide them with strength.

50:14.845 --> 50:18.140
And basically it's just about
strength in numbers at this stage.

50:18.223 --> 50:21.518
We really... I mean, we need each other
to get through this.

50:22.769 --> 50:24.396
This is Annie, my sister,

50:24.938 --> 50:26.690
and she's holding a paper doll.

50:26.773 --> 50:28.066
What's gonna bind them together

50:28.150 --> 50:29.985
is they're gonna be holding
these paper dolls,

50:30.068 --> 50:33.739
and the paper dolls represent
the children who have not come forward,

50:33.822 --> 50:35.949
and we don't know what happened to them.

50:37.492 --> 50:39.786
[Annie Farmer] I think this was just
one chapter in my life.

50:40.954 --> 50:46.126
For a long time, I didn't want
to think about myself as a victim.

50:46.543 --> 50:50.672
And it's interesting because
I've gone on to work as a therapist.

50:51.256 --> 50:54.801
I do think the fact that
I had this experience has helped me

50:54.885 --> 50:57.721
to understand how people respond
to certain situations,

50:57.804 --> 51:01.099
and, you know, to be
the kind of therapist that I am.

51:03.435 --> 51:04.770
[Maria Farmer] This is Courtney.

51:04.853 --> 51:08.732
Courtney is very strong,
and she's definitely been through a lot.

51:09.524 --> 51:11.318
And I admire her so much.

51:15.614 --> 51:18.241
[Wild]
My life is definitely still a struggle

51:18.325 --> 51:20.952
for everything that I went through
with Jeffrey.

51:21.453 --> 51:24.414
However, it has kind of come to an end.

51:24.498 --> 51:27.834
It's a good thing, it's a bittersweet
thing, because it's over,

51:27.918 --> 51:30.879
and I can kind of work through
the healing process now.

51:33.131 --> 51:34.382
And this is Michelle.

51:35.342 --> 51:38.345
Michelle has, like,
a really fun spirit, I feel.

51:38.428 --> 51:41.306
She has a great sense of humor,
and, also, she's beautiful,

51:41.389 --> 51:42.516
and I wanted to...

51:43.683 --> 51:45.936
depict her as I see her, so...

51:50.107 --> 51:51.441
[Licata] This isn't over.

51:51.525 --> 51:56.071
I really hope that the police,
the FBI, the government...

51:56.613 --> 51:57.656
Just do your job.

51:57.739 --> 52:03.787
I go to work. I do my job every single day
for the rest of my life.

52:04.037 --> 52:07.499
Uh... You're given
that position and that power

52:07.582 --> 52:09.960
to make things right,
to do the right thing.

52:10.043 --> 52:14.756
So do the right thing. That's it.
It's plain and simple, you know?

52:15.715 --> 52:18.093
Take them down. Take everybody down.

52:21.721 --> 52:23.890
[Maria Farmer]
That's Sarah. She's my favorite.

52:28.228 --> 52:29.312
I love this girl.

52:29.813 --> 52:30.856
She's precious.

52:31.857 --> 52:34.651
I feel a very special bond with her.
I love her like a sister.

52:38.154 --> 52:40.073
[Ransome]
I'll never get to see Jeffrey again,

52:40.740 --> 52:43.577
and I wanted him to see
the woman I have become,

52:44.327 --> 52:46.079
and that he didn't break me.

52:46.663 --> 52:49.541
And I will fight
till my last breath on Earth.

52:50.125 --> 52:53.211
I'm here today to tell you
that it stops here,

52:53.295 --> 52:55.046
and it stops now, and I am here.

52:55.130 --> 52:57.966
My fight for the rest of my life will be
to make sure

52:58.049 --> 53:01.511
that no woman will ever feel ashamed
to come forward.

53:05.473 --> 53:06.600
This is Virginia.

53:08.351 --> 53:11.479
And I didn't know that
Virginia used a butterfly as a symbol,

53:11.855 --> 53:16.151
which obviously makes sense,
a symbol of freedom, leaving the cocoon.

53:16.234 --> 53:19.362
But I didn't know that when I drew this.
I found that kind of interesting.

53:23.533 --> 53:27.287
[Giuffre] Epstein did not act alone.
So my next step is...

53:27.829 --> 53:30.332
holding other people accountable.

53:30.707 --> 53:34.878
The people that were involved,
the people that actually participated,

53:34.961 --> 53:37.172
there are so many of them out there.

53:38.924 --> 53:41.718
None of them have been held accountable.

53:42.844 --> 53:46.139
We were kids being trafficked
under their eyes, under their nose.

53:46.223 --> 53:47.766
They knew exactly what was going on,

53:48.183 --> 53:50.185
and they didn't say anything about it.

53:50.352 --> 53:52.437
So stop worrying
about saving your own hide

53:52.520 --> 53:54.439
and help us. That's all we're asking for.

53:55.190 --> 53:56.524
-Let's go!
-[dog moaning happily]

53:56.608 --> 53:59.361
What are you doing in there?
What are you doing?

53:59.444 --> 54:01.571
[Giuffre]
The monsters are still out there,

54:01.655 --> 54:03.657
and they're still abusing other people.

54:04.532 --> 54:08.203
Why they have not been named
and shamed yet... is beyond me.
ose.
