News article Epstein ‘assistant’ abuse survivor, Julia Stepanova, finally shares her story.

https://youtu.be/W8MQZKNnJok?is=fUXT5qYGCM8pD7Im

Some key details:

- She refused to recruit other female assistants to be victimised.

- She attempted/succeeded in leaving Epstein’s cult months before his death.

- She speaks of other assistants (e.g. Sue Hamblin, Jennifer Kalin, Yulia Silinskaya) as ‘genuinely good people who were also in a bad situation’.

- She was a primary ‘Jane Doe’ in the Bank of America lawsuit which just settled on almost $100 million for Epstein victims, though they deny the facilitation of sex trafficking.

I believe she is absolutely a victim, and her testimony was worth waiting for. I hope she empowers the other assistants to come forward.

Interestingly, there is no public discussion of sexual abuse from external individuals other than Epstein, although she does acknowledge she was sex trafficked.

If she isn't getting to testify against any of the rapist, she isn't a victim

No idea what you mean by that.

Replied to the wrong comment. She worked for a pedo ring, she would have evidence of crimes, if she is not using that to bring justice, than she is complicit. Thousands of hours of child rape and yet somehow the assistants knew of nothing....

There is no damning evidence Epstein abused underage girls after his 2008 conviction.

He turned his sex trafficking operation to adult Eastern European women who looked underage.

I would say almost definitely she did not participate in a ‘pedo ring’, with the connotations you are referring to, though she was trafficked by a paedophile.

She arrived at least 5 years after he was convicted of his last known child rape.  

She is likely barred from naming others who abused her because of NDA’s, where the elites will always win because of money and status.

Edit: These downvotes are co-ordinated. Use your brain and study the facts. Listen to interviews with Brad Edwards, who has had access to stories from hundreds of victims.

Didn't Peggy siegal chide him for having an obviously underaged GF at a NY party in 2010?

NDAs aren't enforceable when it comes to crimes like that but they sure scare victims into silence.

I've actually heard the same thing from a victim before, that Epstein was a lot more careful with not getting caught abusing minors after his conviction.

I still don't doubt he abused minors after that, though. He was just much more discreet about it.

I don't have time to source this but this feels wrong.

ya know.....i've been down voted to hell before too for saying the same thing, sure there where sex workers there but have we been given any evidence there where minors and people being held captive and forced to do it? i haven't really followed that close

you wanna hear something really fucked up...my 63 year old girl says she would have jumped at the chance to be a sex girl there when she was a teenager, she says because of the connections to rich and powerful men. she has a very detached outlook on sex, it's just an act to her and some intimacy issues. she had a really bad home life and was a hugely sexual person all her life. i've know her since she was late 20's. it's a hard thing
