New Docs Reveal Grand Jury’s Victim Shaming in Jeffrey Epstein Case
When a Florida grand jury indicted Jeffrey Epstein on a solicitation of prostitution charge in 2006, jurors heard graphic accusations of the financier raping teen girls—but the panel also appeared to shame a 16-year-old victim who testified.
“Do you have any idea deep down inside of you that you—what your [sic] doing is wrong?” one juror asked the girl, who was 14 when Epstein abused her, according to a newly unsealed transcript.
“And you’re well aware that—what you’re doing to your own reputation,” a juror chimed in.
